    Description

    ABOUT US

    Hype, Demand, and LegacyR is what we create. We're an agency driven by having a deep understanding of sub-cultures that go on to shape behaviours.

    We believe culture comes first and it's at the heart of everything we do. An agency built to launch, position, and transform businesses in a fast-paced, demanding, and people-powered world.

    We work on the belief of valuegraphics, over stereotypical demographics. Truly delving into the wants of humans influenced by culture, data, and insights.

    Our network spans across the globe from tastemakers, brands, creators, celebrities, and the people you just need to know to make what seems like an unachievable ambition happen.

    LOCATION

    London [Hybrid]

    OUR CULTURE

    We are very much in the business of people at The Fitting Room, we have an exciting People Agenda for the next five years, focused on talent and working in partnership with our team.

    We're not here for big BS statements on the website, we just move with respect for our team and what they might need. For example, when the true extent of the cost of living was revealed, we immediately gave everyone a 5% pay rise.

    As part of an employee incentive in 2023 we took some of the team to Coachella in California.

    We are our people.

    ROLE

    We're looking for an Account Director to lead our Client Services team. We're looking for someone that is a real people person, genuinely curious and eager to solve big client challenges.

    This is our first hire for our new Manchester office, leading a team of indirect reports in your local office and direct reports in our London office. You will be the Senior contact for all clients, but most importantly the boots on the ground and Senior presence for TFR Manchester.

    You will be a natural networker, enjoy building relationships and love all things pop culture. We're a proactive business, with a clear business growth plan. This person will be key to delivering that day-to-day. You'll lead the charge, growing our account management team, providing exceptional service and strategic advice to our retained and campaign led clients.

    You'll have solid experience in account management and servicing clients in an agency environment. We're channel agnostic, which means the breadth of our delivery is broad. This person will enjoy this variety and learning.

    We're unapologetically ambitious and hungry as a business. The Fitting Room was started with less than twenty pounds, our story and values matter to us. We're all about people, we're growing at the moment, this person will understand that that doesn't mean all new clients – it means servicing and building with our base.

    Some of our clients have been with us from day one.

    You will work across a range of clients from lifestyle, to hospitality, to celebrity, to entertainment. You will be on top of trends, live for experiences and have a natural get sh*t done attitude.

    You will work closely with our delivery teams across hype, demand and legacy, and new business.

    You'll be highly respectful of all communities and culture.

    We work with global and household names and we're incredibly proud of the work we do and the people we work with. Some of our clients include: NOW, BOXPARK, Pernod Ricard, TAO Hospitality and Popeyes.
