Account Director with Digital and eCommerce Experience

At FCB we believe that changing attitudes can be helpful, but changing behavior is what we’re paid to do and has to be the end goal. We believe asking what appears to be a simple question makes a remarkable difference. So, what behavior do you want to change?

At FCB, the Account Director is the agency’s commissioner at the client. We want a person who understands the client’s needs beyond marketing and looks deeper at the partnership they have with the agency. This person takes a leadership role in strategy development and ensures that the strategy maps back to the client’s goals. The Account Director is a proactive and effective partner with all cross-functional team members. We want someone with the ability to champion ideas, inspire great work and effectively defend and persuade the agency POV to the client. Someone who knows a good idea when they see it.
