You and your teammates will be the engine of the client campaign, driving activities with determination and enthusiasm to deliver results that will make an impact for the client’s business and make your team shine. Typical activities include: Being the eyes and ears of your clients’ industries, ensuring your account teams are up to speed on what’s happening across the wider sector.
