Ascent Solutions

A multi-faceted Out of Home media giant is now looking for a Category Account Manager to join their highly successful commercial team to educate, enthuse and develop lasting relationships with brand managers and Marketing Directors of mainstream FTSE100 companies.

Joining a sought after International media organisation and working daily with Brand Managers from FTSE100 companies will add weight and credibility to careers, give fantastic contacts, plus it is an opportunity to work on high value, creative Outdoor Media campaigns in and around major events such as the Olympics 2012.

This is an opportunity for a media professional looking to move away from the transactional day to day of advertising sales and move more into managing and educating high value contacts within leading FTSE100 companies. This position is about educating the client base about how important Out of Home media is to their overall marketing strategy and subtly influencing decisions before their media plan is finalised with their agency.

As a Category Account Manager you’ll need to be a turned on, savvy, go-to problem solver with a drive to learn more about your clients needs, their challenges and what faces their industry sector as a whole, whilst always maintaining that the targets of your business are met.

The successful candidate will likely have a strong grasp of the way in which advertising works, experience providing presentations and pitches to senior decision makers as well as having the ability to create, manage and maintain lasting relationships. We are ideally looking for someone from a media sales background with specific experience in account management & ideally contacts at Brand Manager or above within Technology and Telecoms organisations.
