• Be efficient and a strategic forward planner, you’ll know how to keep one eye on the detail and one on the bigger picture to pre-empt challenges, navigate the media and cultural landscape, guide your team and identify opportunities for clients and new business
• Be a proficient client handler, confident in giving accurate counsel and role modelling strong client relationships, striking that all important balance between firm and friendly
• Be commercially savvy and have an understanding of the financial workings of an agency. You’ll assist in capacity planning and monitoring account resources and have an awareness of revenue targets across your clients.

• Have positive energy inspiring fresh thinking and approach all aspects of your role with vim and vigor, motivating your colleagues to follow suit – even when the going gets tough
