As an Account Director, you may work in various companies, but in this case, we will focus on your role in an Advertising Agency. Your job is to manage the agency’s clients; old and new. 

You have to be able to meet the client’s business goals. For example, if a fashion brand comes to you and wants to introduce a new collection to young women, then it's your job to tell them why your agency can do the best job. 

Of course, the challenge is to make sure that your team delivers and that your client remains happy in the long-term. 

As an Account Director, you may have to:

• Learn about new industries quickly to be able to service different types of clients                                        
• Adjust to the demands of unsatisfied clients 
• Work hard in order to keep the loyalty of your clients, since it's easy for them to change agencies

As an Account Director, you will get to:     

• Build connections with important clients                               
• Be rewarded for the contracts you sign with new clients

• A Bachelor's Degree in Marketing or Business
• A Master's Degree in Business Administration is highly recommended 
• Knowledge of Customer Care Management is encouraged
