Proactively push clients forward and delight them with new and original thinking.
- Client experience: The GAD will take overall responsibility for the client relationship, ensuring a clear and transparent feedback loop into the agency. They will make top-level account resource decisions to keep the 1000heads team appropriately positioned, motivated, and challenged.
- Account profitability: Ensure scoping is accurate and aligned with the client’s requirements and budgets. Track, understand, and manage account-servicing levels.
- Account growth: Proactively develop client relationships, identify strategic growth opportunities, establish new relationships, and propose new concepts and plans to advance the client’s business and expand 1000heads’ service offering.
- Concept creation and presentation: Lead responses to large campaign briefs and new business pitches. Work with partners from other functions to shape strategic plans and the creative articulation of ideas. Integrate other functions (e.g., Developers or Videographers) as needed.
- Delivery of social: Maintain a high-level view of delivery, ensuring assets are true to the approved plan, performance targets are met, channels are optimised, and servicing levels are appropriate.
