If you want to get upto speed very quick on a brand/team you are starting, what are some key questions you would ask? I just started and I feel I’m not getting onboarded enough, I dont know the brand well, I don’t know what projects I will own Etc. I don’t want to just go over server decks on my own, I feel like there should be more…

I would totally go through server decks and compile a list of questions from there!

There should be a brand onboarding deck too. They should 100% be taking you through that. Anything else you need to ask your manager about what you’re going to own and how the process works there. Ask them to help you set up convos with key members of the team to connect.

For those of you in healthcare related account management, what is your healthcare background? I am clinical and getting ready to hire a higher level account manager.

I don’t want to miss the right person because of my bias, so im wondering how many healthcare related AMs have healthcare/clinical experience… thanks in advance!

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.
