OVERVIEW
Were COW. Were 26 years young, were smart, were nice, and were one of the most decorated integrated creative agencies in London. One of the herd is leaving us (moving out of London!), so were on the hunt for an awesome Account Director.
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone to step into a senior role in an agency thats seriously going places – figuratively and literally. In June were moving to a beautiful new office in Covent Garden. Youll be working across an enviable client portfolio – including two of the worlds most famous tequila brands, and some of our flagship entertainment, destination and travel accounts.
In addition, theres scope to run projects for some of the biggest FMCG brands on the planet, and get involved in new business pitches too.

Youll be leading high impact press office and blended social accounts (tequilas!), and wider brand campaigns too. It really is a mix of PR, social and influencer work, and therell be plenty of opportunities for strategic planning and deck writing too – for high-impact standalone campaigns, annual brand plans and new business pitches.
Youll need to be a self-starter and a strong team leader, but you wont be on your own – youll be supported by smart, hungry juniors and a solicitous and collaborative management team. Across your accounts youll work closely with COWs revered creative and studio teams, and day-to-day youll be driving campaigns and evergreen work forward, giving razor sharp client counsel, steering talented teams and managing budgets.
