Nope. The job tasks themselves I actually find fun and interesting - but I have a really hard time managing the agency egos / misogyny / foggy role expectations that seems to haunt any accounts role.
This! Sometimes my hardest job is managing the creative team lol
I am motivated by the people I work with. Honestly…the work is boring due to the category some of my clients are in their lack of desire to pay for anything groundbreaking. I love my team though. I suggest focusing more on the people and if people are just kind of cold, be the person that kind of changes the culture a bit.
Also, try to work on new business from time to time. It’s a bitch…but something to switch it up.

They should be just as excited to hear from you as you are to work with them in 2023, and if they aren’t, have more fun with the role and get out there to build deeper relationships with them!
My customers are the ones who energize me.
