What’s an Account Director at Octagon look like? Good question. The first thing to say is it isn’t your traditional ‘big agency suit’. Sure, you’ll be part of a great team, work on blue chip brands and deliver award winning work, but we are a small group and everyone is expected (and empowered) to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in at all levels.
In truth, you’re a bit of a spark plug. You’re the sort of person who relishes a challenge, is super organised, and can manage the day to day activities of our key accounts. You don’t fit the mould, and are dynamic in your approach to client service. You question things too, not to be difficult, but to understand if there’s a better way. There’s no set pattern to how we do things here, we want you to bring your own flavour.
