Account does not need certifications or anything. Show you're detail oriented, work well under pressure, can adequately take in client feedback while keeping in mind you work for the agency first, and you will be fine.

Agree, you don’t need your series 6 or whatever, the ONLY certification in ad agencies is for the project managers who to Agile, Scrum, not Account. Why do you want to do Account? Why not aim for Finance Manager, you’d work with producers and businesses managers, and AP.

The most annoying part of an interview process “create a presentation on our product you know nothing about and present it to 3 people who know every last detail about the product”. It’s not a shortage of people applying, it’s the unnecessarily long interview processes. When many companies are now adapting this, no one has time to put together multiple presentations after normal working hours. Hiring has gotten so complicated for no reason.
