Manager, Account Executive - London, United Kingdom - VCCP

Description

ACCOUNT MANAGER

The VCCP Partnership is an integrated communications agency set up in 2002 by Charles (V), Rooney (C), Adrian (C) and Ian (P), who founded the agency on the principles of simplicity, collaboration, un-preciousness and integration around ideas rather than channels.

Their founding client was BT Cellnet, now more commonly known as O2 and the most awarded brand in IPA effectiveness history.

Our work transcends the marketing mix, leading everything from social media or launch campaigns to DM and web build.

We also provide very senior strategic planning for clients, customer journey mapping and helping clients to envision their future business, beyond just communications.

It's why we describe ourselves as 'the challenger agency for challenger brands'.


CONCENTRATED BRAND IDEA:
We distil a brand's purpose into just a couple of words that everyone can understand. We call this a concentrated brand idea.
When we develop a creative concept to communicate the concentrated brand idea we ask three simple questions. Because otherwise, we're wasting time and clients' money.


BRAND WORLD:
We then create a brand world that transcends all media channels. A look, a tone, a behaviour that's indelibly branded, instantly recognisable. Whether it's broadcast, direct marketing, digital or a social media campaign, it should unmistakably belong to the brand. Indeed, we believe the strongest brands should live in a world of their own creating.
So people do well here when they create energy and dynamism around what they do.

To be the best account management department in London where we challenge harder to make the BEST POSSIBLE WORK that populates culture.

We challenge others with our thinking on strategy and creative.

WHAT MAKES A BRILLIANT VCCP ACCOUNT MANAGER:
VCCP Account Managers are the lynch pins of the agency.

They are constant throughout the process of the day to day running of the account ensuring it runs as smoothly, effectively and efficiently as possible.

CREATIVE:
The creative aspirations at VCCP are very high.

Our Account Managers should be able to demonstrate outstanding creative judgement and, working with the Planning and Creative department, take responsibility for the highest standard of creative output possible.

They are also responsible for helping to prepare inspiring creative briefings and client presentations and be able to present confidently and passionately when required.

They should live and breathe our agency mantra ' to create work that populates culture' and should be relentless in their pursuit of doing this.

VCCP is famous for its strategic thinking, perhaps best demonstrated by O2, the most awarded IPA effectiveness brand of all time.

Account Managers at VCCP are expected to input into the strategic process and have a well-informed strategic point of view based on a good understanding of the client's competitor set, and wider out of category examples.

CLIENT MANAGEMENT:

Our Account Managers build and maintain good relationships with the day-to-day clients at a junior to mid-level and are expected to gain their confidence quickly.

They should be microscopic in the detail and provide dedicated support to the Account Director leading their piece of business.

VCCP Account Managers have excellent communications skills, both internally and with the client. VCCP Account Managers manage the crew on the ship. They take the initiative and thrive on the entrepreneurial opportunities that present themselves, reporting directly into the Account Director. They are excellent at inspiring their planners and creative partners through the cycle of a given project.

Process experts, they know how to make the agency work and drive the creative production process in partnership with their producer.

FINANCIAL:
VCCP Account Managers support the Account Director in the day-to-day financials of the account.

They work with their creative production partners to keep track of production budgets whilst supporting the Account Director on fee's, budgeting and forecasting.

All Account Managers at VCCP should have a broad range of skills to ensure ideas are conceived and delivered with this in mind.

We believe that DE&I is about creating a strong culture of inclusion within our agency, where everyone can thrive and be their authentic self.
