Job Description
ADVERTISING ACCOUNT COORDINATOR - YOU DREAM OF WORKING IN AN ENVIRONMENT LIKE THE MORNING SHOW ON APPLE TV
Imagine you’re the force behind Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon. You start every day with a task list of over 50 items – all with varying deadlines, project lengths, and action steps. No two days are the same. Within 2 hours, right after the morning game of shuffleboard with your teammates, the priority has become completely rearranged. You take the shift in focus, the intense pace, and the increasing demand all in stride – YOU’RE WELL KNOWN FOR BEING UNFLAPPABLE, CALM, AND A STEADY HAND IN THE STORM. THE STAFF AND CLIENTS COME TO YOU BECAUSE THEY KNOW YOU’LL FIND A WAY TO GET IT DONE ON TIME, YOU’LL BE GRACIOUS AND ALWAYS SMILING, AND YOU’LL MAKE YOUR CO-WORKERS/TEAMMATES LOOK GREAT.
Your biggest frustration about your current job is that you’re bored out of your mind with the mundane, repetitive tasks that don’t seem to make a difference, and you’re confused whether you matter in the success of the company. We can help solve your frustration, boredom, and whether you make an enormous difference every day.
We’re a full service advertising agency, most well-known for our work with automotive companies. We’re seeking an Account Coordinator to support our Account Executive Team. A great metaphor would be acting as the Assistant Producer on The Morning Show. YOU’RE THE GLUE THAT KEEPS EVERYTHING RUNNING SMOOTHLY BEHIND THE SCENES. 18-24 MONTHS OF SUCCESS IN THIS ROLE TYPICALLY LEADS TO THE PROMOTION OF BECOMING AN ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE AND WORKING DIRECTLY WITH THE CLIENT.
There are not a lot of advertising companies that operate in such a fast-paced environment, with constantly changing priorities. Some of our candidates who have come to us and succeeded are traditional Journalism and Com majors trying to reach the magic rung of being an Account Executive in an advertising agency. Others have come from less traditional backgrounds, such as the ER administrator in a hospital, the dispatcher/coordinator for an HVAC company, and the office manager/staff coordinator for an accounting firm.
In college or high school, you were the overachiever. You participated in competitive team sports, held roles in student government and various clubs, and were active all the time. You cannot stand still. You always have to be busy or working on a project.
One of the things you really like about some of the jobs you’ve held is the tech element – you’re a spreadsheet guru, and a master of working with new computer tools and apps, especially in reporting and analytical information, like digital reports. YOU’RE PROBABLY THE TYPE OF PERSON WHO RATHER THAN READING THE MANUAL OR TAKING A CLASS, YOU JUST JUMP RIGHT IN AND START PLAYING WITH THE TOOLS, SCREENS, AND COMMANDS TO FIGURE IT OUT. YOUR TEAMMATES END UP COMING TO YOU WITH TECH/COMPUTER QUESTIONS.
If you come from an environment that is fast-paced, demanding, constantly changing priorities, tech-tool oriented, fun, and very client service focused, we’d love to talk with you about a role that might be perfect for your personality and needs. WE HAVE A GENEROUS 401K MATCH PROGRAM, PROFIT SHARING, MEDICAL AND DENTAL BENEFITS, VACATION, SICK DAYS AND PAID HOLIDAYS.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THIS POSITION OF ACCOUNT COORDINATOR, SEND US A COVER LETTER AND RESUME TO: OURTEAMROCKS@R2MEDIAINC.COM. IN YOUR COVER LETTER, DESCRIBE IN A PARAGRAPH WHY YOU FEEL YOUR CURRENT WORK ENVIRONMENT IS COMPARABLE TO THE CULTURE DESCRIBED IN THIS COMPELLING STATEMENT OF WORK – AND WHY THAT TYPE OF ENVIRONMENT FITS YOUR PERSONALITY.
