AV Account Manager

Independent advertising and media agency

An independent advertising and media agency is looking for an AV Account Manager to work across a growing portfolio of clients.

This is a planning and buying role with television at its heart. You’ll bring strong linear TV and broadcaster video on demand experience, as well as an informed view of how streaming platforms fit into the wider AV landscape. The agency is bringing its AV and programmatic expertise together, giving you the opportunity to help develop its approach as the team and client base grow.

You’ll join a small, ambitious team, take ownership of your accounts and work closely with senior decision-makers. It’s a busy role with plenty of scope to contribute ideas and make a visible impact.

Responsibilities:

• Plan AV activity across multiple clients, translating briefs into clear recommendations, budgets and measures of success.
• Build campaigns spanning linear TV, broadcaster video on demand and relevant streaming platforms.
• Oversee direct media buying and campaign delivery, with executives handling much of the day-to-day buying activity.
• Work with colleagues to identify where programmatic AV buying can improve a client’s plan.
• Develop strong relationships with clients, media owners and internal teams.
• Negotiate value, monitor campaign performance and resolve delivery issues promptly.
• Keep plans, bookings, budgets and reporting accurate and on schedule.
• Analyse results and use the findings to improve future campaigns.
• Guide junior colleagues and help maintain a high standard of work across the team.
• Contribute to the agency’s developing offer, including opportunities in podcasts, digital audio and some YouTube activity.

Skills and experience needed:

• Experience planning and buying linear TV and broadcaster video on demand campaigns.
• A sound understanding of AV trading, campaign delivery and measurement.
• The ability to manage several clients and campaigns at once without losing attention to detail.
• Confidence presenting recommendations and discussing performance with clients.
• Strong commercial judgement and numerical accuracy.
• The ability to build effective relationships with media partners and colleagues.
• A proactive approach to solving problems and taking accountability for your work.
• A clear perspective on changes in viewing habits and the role of streaming within an AV plan.
