What is a good way for account managers to showcase their work, besides a resume? I’ve worked on a lot of cool projects but don’t think a portfolio necessarily makes sense.

I used to have a portfolio site with case studies of campaigns and projects I worked on. I got a lot of good feedback from recruiters and in interviews. That was about 10 years ago. I don’t use one now.

Did you give credit to any of your creative team members?

Going to toss a curveball- I’ve never used anything besides a resume, but how you organize and present it can make things stand out. One way is to categorize what markets you have experience in, brands and products. Unique things and specifically their results, etc. That creates opportunity when eventually they say “tell me about x”. You can showcase the account/client management skill by being able to present a verbal case study on cool projects with clarity and your role in achieving it, and show it in a challenge/solution way, and what the successful outcome was.

Ultimately as account manager, eventually beyond management is business growth. So presenting it in a way with a strategy arc that shows your forward thinking which those in hiring positions pick up on

I am mainly working with shops in the States as a non-native speaker and I am constantly worried about my ability to communicate (in any professional occasion but mostly in meetings). I am working with some of the best shops and this makes the situation worse considering that I am largely surrounded by an extremely competent group of folks that are super good at any form of communication. How do you feel as a native speaker when you meet non-natives? Should they be worried, or, they doing ok?

Right so here’s a bit of a dilemma I work to a much higher standard at home and it’s this high standard that means I’m in line for a promotion. I’ve grown so much and I feel really strong in my role I’m also busier than ever. The problem is we’re going back into the office and I don’t want to go in if it’s just going to be senior management in asking me to get them lunches for client meetings or fetch a glass of water and cutlery for meeting rooms. Definitely not ready to go back to that….
