The Impact You Will Make

The Director/Senior Director serves as the primary bridge between agency leadership and client success. You will act as a client lead directly owning the relationship and overseeing the lifecycle of an account from the initial new business pitch to final reporting. This role requires a hybrid skill set: the political savvy of a lobbyist, the creative flair of an ad executive, and the precision of a project manager.

You are a "player-coach" who is just as comfortable in a pitch meeting with a CEO as you are in redlining a press release or managing a complex editorial calendar. You thrive in ambiguous environments and are able to quickly understand what the client needs and translate it into a clear strategy that teams can operationalize. You don't just wait for news to happen; you monitor client issue areas to proactively flag opportunities for engagement before the client even realizes they exist.

What Day To Day Looks Like

  • Integrated Execution: Shepherd projects across multi-disciplinary service teams, including media planning, media buying, creative, measurement, and data insights.

2. Content & Media Excellence

  • High-Stakes Writing: Oversee the production of everything from high-level strategic memos and communications plans to tactical press releases, op-eds, and social media content.
  • Media Relations: Proactively develop earned media strategies, leveraging existing reporter relationships to place stories that move the needle on key issues.

3. Team Management & Mentorship

  • Workflow Oversight: Manage internal teams across different offices to ensure quality control and adherence to tight deadlines.
  • Professional Development: Act as a coach and/or direct manager for junior staff, providing clear feedback and supporting their professional development.

4. Business Development

  • Growth Strategy: Partner with agency leadership to identify, draft, and present proposals for new business opportunities.
