A Day in the Life: Account Manager – Exploring Graphics (Las Vegas)

At Exploring Graphics, a division of Exploring, LLC, every project is unique.

This is a fast-paced, customer-focused position that requires strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.

Starting Your Day

You begin your morning by reviewing project schedules, production updates, installation timelines, and customer communications. With several projects in different stages of production, you prioritize your workload and identify any issues that require immediate attention.

You check emails, review artwork approvals, monitor shipping schedules, and prepare for customer meetings. Every day starts with a clear understanding of what needs to happen to keep projects moving forward.

Building Customer Relationships

Throughout the day, you communicate with customers, exhibit houses, marketing teams, event coordinators, and internal departments to ensure everyone is aligned.
