Account Executive / Senior Account Executive

Location: Hertford (Hybrid Working Available)
Salary: Up to £30,000 depending on experience
Hours: Monday to Friday, 9:00am – 5:30pm

The Mission

Our client is looking for an Account Executive or Senior Account Executive to join their growing creative agency team. This is a role for someone who thrives in a fast moving environment, loves bringing ideas to life, and genuinely enjoys building relationships with clients.

No two days will look the same. One morning you could be writing a press release, by lunchtime briefing creatives on a campaign concept, and by the afternoon organising the final details for a live event.

You’ll be at the centre of multiple projects, helping keep campaigns moving, clients happy, and ideas flowing. If you’re naturally organised, confident speaking with people, and love the mix of creativity and coordination that agency life brings, this could be a perfect fit.

What You’ll Be Doing

Client & Campaign Management

• Manage projects and client briefs from initial idea through to delivery.
• Build strong relationships with clients and become a trusted day to day point of contact.
• Deliver clear and engaging briefs for campaigns, events, and creative projects.
• Attend client meetings, presentations, and occasional on site visits.
• Work closely with internal creative, marketing, and copy teams to keep projects running smoothly.

Events & Experiences

• Support the planning and organisation of events from start to finish.
• Coordinate logistics including ordering materials, managing timelines, and ensuring everything is event ready.
• Provide on site support during events when required.
• Help bring campaigns and brand experiences to life in a way that feels polished, creative, and memorable.

Content, PR & Creative Support

• Write press releases, website copy, and other PR focused content.
• Support media outreach and help secure coverage opportunities.
• Assist with social media content creation and community engagement.
• Help create presentations, pitch decks, and campaign materials.
• Proofread and quality check content before it goes live.

Strategy & Agency Support

• Conduct industry and competitor research to support campaign planning.
• Assist with new business proposals and pitch preparation.
• Support reporting, campaign analysis, and general account administration.
• Work across both print and digital campaigns, helping deliver projects on time and within budget.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience within an agency, marketing, PR, events, or client facing environment.
• Strong communication skills with the confidence to speak with clients professionally and build lasting relationships.
• Excellent organisation skills and the ability to juggle multiple projects at once.
• Strong writing ability with the flexibility to switch between professional, creative, and conversational tones.
• A proactive mindset and willingness to get stuck into all areas of agency life.
• Confidence working both independently and collaboratively within a team.
• A genuine interest in marketing, branding, events, and creative campaigns.

The Tools You’ll Use

• Microsoft Office including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook
• Google Docs and collaborative platforms
• Social media platforms including Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Facebook
• Knowledge of CMS platforms or Xero would be a bonus but is not essential

Why You’ll Love It

Our client genuinely invests in people and creates an environment where careers can grow quickly. You’ll join a supportive, creative team where ideas are encouraged, wins are celebrated, and no two days feel repetitive.

Alongside hybrid working and great benefits, you’ll have the chance to work on exciting campaigns, attend events, collaborate with talented people, and develop your skills across multiple areas of marketing and PR.

If you love the pace of agency life, enjoy balancing creativity with organisation, and get satisfaction from seeing campaigns come together from concept to launch, you’ll fit right in.
