Account position

Know the account! Backwards forwards. Print a Mintel Report and show you did your research. It's cheesy, but shows you give a fuck.

Have you researched previous work the account has done? You should have good questions about the work.

You will kill it, good luck!

Yah, have an opinion about the work, the strategy and ask questions. Barriers to getting work produced,betc.

haha, I'm happy to pass your resume along if you'd like. :)

Not sure how that would work on here haha

Let me know if they are looking for creatives! ;)
