Account Planner

We’re looking for an Account Planner to join our team.  You probably have around 5 years experience as an account planner – (or maybe it’s 3 and you’re just an incredibly fast learner?).  You feel as though you’re “just about ready” to take the next step to become a Senior Account Planner. You believe in the power of Brands.  You think BIG.  Ideally, you have already worked on campaigns that go well beyond traditional “advertising” – or you would like to and you are looking to move because your agency doesn’t seem to have caught up with the way the real world operates today.  You are keen to work in a unique strategy group environment with partner disciplines such as connection planning and interactive strategy.  You have an innate curiosity and a creative mind.  So much so that Creatives actually like you and seek you out to hear what you have to say.  Oddly, clients want to hear your point of view too - because as well as being an ideas person, you are just as comfortable with business topics and quantitative data.  You are just as at home with mining the “Internets” and “doing the Google” as sources for consumer understanding as you are running some form of qualitative study (which you would prefer was not a dry focus group). 

 

If this describes you, please send your resume to info@mckinney.com .  McKinney is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
