What you'll be doing as an Account Manager on the Creative Services team at DCI:
You will help lead the creative services team within DCI's economic development practice, working on marketing strategies; brand development (including creating logos, taglines and brand concepts); and print and digital content (think key messages, brochures, collateral) to promote the places we represent as ideal locations for business investment and talent attraction. You will support 5-7 clients at any given point in time and cross-collaborate with colleagues, team leads and managers across both the creative services team and the agency as a whole. You will report to a Senior Account Director on the Creative Services team.

  • Project management skills and impeccable attention to detail: A fast-paced environment with multiple clients and projects to manage daily sounds like your kind of place. You love being sure every detail is accounted for, are a stickler for timelines and typos, and have impeccable organization skills. You bring experience working in a team environment and can effectively and efficiently manage projects from start to finish.
  • Research skills: You are not afraid to go down a rabbit hole to find the answer. You enjoy research - whether it's finding information on a client destination, coming up to speed on a new industry or promoting DCI's latest research.
  • Client relations experience: You have a warm, professional demeanor in speaking with clients, partners, colleagues and vendors and enjoy building business relationships. We are in touch with our clients daily and superb client service is a top priority.

When a challenge arises, you use the resources available to find a solution. You keep promises and are a responsive and dependable team player.

You are excited about the possibility of melding your passion for places and your knowledge of marketing to help create an impact for communities and their economies. BONUS POINTS IF:
