• Meet and exceed monthly and quarterly revenue targets and KPIs set by the leadership team.

• Research market trends, competitor activity, and client needs to identify new verticals and service opportunities. Client Acquisition & Relationship Building

• Develop and nurture relationships with senior decision-makers, marketing leaders, and procurement teams at target companies.

• Translate complex product and media narratives into clear value propositions for marketing decision-makers. Collaboration & Internal Coordination

• Partner closely with Account Management, Strategy, and Creative teams to ensure seamless client onboarding and handoff.

• Provide market intelligence and client feedback to inform service development and gotomarket strategies.

• Prepare detailed proposals, SOW documents, and commercial agreements in line with agency pricing and positioning.

• Represent the agency at industry conferences, trade shows, and client events.
