Great account managers are excellent communicators, able to interpret and deliver the needs of clients to their team while seamlessly managing expectations. They’re strategists, capable of understanding complex problems and crafting creative solutions. They’re also leaders, fostering trust, collaboration, and inspiring those around them.

Stay curious, embrace challenges, and never forget: it’s your ability to create genuine connections and deliver impactful results that makes you an indispensable asset. Stay motivated, account managers. You are the bridge between clients and success. #AccountManagement #Motivation”

Kinda bummed. I’ve been single for 6 years (I’m 31 now). I live in ptown and talk to guys in Boston on tinder. Was talking to a guy for about a week who is my type. I asked if he wanted to FaceTime tonight and he said sure but caveated that he isn’t into long distance (ptown to Boston) and that we would most likely stick to chatting. Idk what’s wrong with me. Everyone tells me I’m a catch but guys I’m attracted to are never into me 😭 just needed to vent

Who else started with small businesses and moved up to medium and large at agencies structured to handle it? I handle 40 clients and some 60 Content managers, ad managers, designers, developers, and a smattering of other positions.

It’s review season at my agency. I’m struggling with what goals to put down or things I want to learn.

What are some brands with an in-house agency? Looking to make a move to client side.

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 Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works.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.
