Demonstrate comfort representing the agency's capabilities, experience and best practices across the mix.

RESPONSIBILITIESClient Relationship - Serve as the lead or oversight client-to-agency liaison across multiple and key accounts, with greater independence than junior account team members.

Framing Challenges/Creative Briefs - Thoughtfully draft (or oversee) creative brief development and kick-off sessions with the agency Creative, Strategy and/or Media team to clarify client business needs and deliverable objectives.
