How does one make a switch from account executive to account management? I was recently asked in an AM interview how I would go about from managing 10 clients to 75 clients. I would love the feedbacks for AMs in here.

I’ve been in advertising for 20 years as a creative and I never knew there was a difference between account executives and account management.

Can anyone succinctly enlighten me on the difference?

In some companies now, they have separate account executive and account managers. The AE will do the initial deal closing. Then the client is passed on to the AM to manage, grow, and upsell.

While in some other companies, you can have a full cycle AEs that set up meetings, close deals, and manage the on going clients, too.

That’s a terrible hypothetical situation 😬😬
