Assistant Account Executive

We're Looking for a Strategic Communicator — and a Master of Details

ADsmith is looking for a motivated, detail-driven Account Service Support professional to join our team of marketers, creatives, and strategists. This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where organization, communication, and follow-through are key to success.

As a member of our Account Service team, you'll be the critical connector between our account leaders, and creative teams, ensuring projects move seamlessly from concept to completion. You'll help keep communication clear, timelines on track, and deliverables aligned with strategy.

If you're someone who loves seeing a well-run process come together, and you get satisfaction from helping a team work smarter, not harder, this might be the perfect fit.

We're ADsmith, a team of strategists, creatives, media specialists, researchers, and award-winning storytellers who believe in Intentional Marketing. That means everything we do is grounded in smart strategy and data, but with an eye toward human connection and real-world results.

We work with regional brands, national manufacturers and franchises, and passionate local businesses across a wide range of industries. Some are exciting and high-profile; others are quieter but equally essential. We treat them all with the same level of creativity, curiosity, and care.
