WHAT MAKES A BRILLIANT VCCP ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE Strategic: VCCP is famous for its strategic thinking, perhaps best demonstrated by O2, the most awarded IPA effectiveness brand of all time. Account Executive’s are responsible for monitoring competitor activity and reporting this back to both their agency team and clients. Client Management: VCCP Account Executives are the focal point of the account, supporting the team to ensure it runs as smoothly possible. Our Account Executives should build and maintain good relationships with the day to day clients at a junior level and will be expected to gain their confidence quickly. It goes without saying that all AE’s at VCCP should be born multi-taskers and have the ability to spin many plates at the same time, whilst displaying charm and calmness to the internal VCCP team and client. They should be microscopic in the detail and provide dedicated support to the Account Manager’s and AD’s leading their piece of business. Communication: VCCP Account Executives have excellent communications skills, both internally and with the client. They have professionalism and presence with their clients and are clear and concise in all spoken and written communications both to the client and the internal team. VCCP Account Executives are responsible for capturing key agreements, actions and next steps and compiling into contact reports following both internal and client meetings. Financial: VCCP Account Executives support the Account Manager/Director in the day to day financials of the account. They work with their creative production partners to keep track of production budgets of any projects they are working on, whilst starting to get an understanding on fee’s, budget constraints and forecasting. Whilst finance might be an area to learn, in keeping with the agency's entrepreneurial spirit, AE’s are always on the lookout for opportunity. Operational Support: VCCP Account Executives are expected to support the core account team in all aspects of their day-to-day role in servicing clients. This might range from ensuring the IT is working and has been fully tested prior to a meeting, or the coordination of travel for the senior account team to a key client away day. Integration: Written large across the walls of the agency is VCCP’s founding mantra is ‘ IT ONLY WORKS IF IT ALL WORKS’. All AE’s at VCCP should have a broad range of skills to ensure ideas are conceived and delivered with this in mind. Everyone is responsible for challenging an idea through this filter, i.e. is the idea media agnostic and is it a simple enough thought that can work across every consumer touchpoint?
