Account Executive

/ MOMENTUM WORLDWIDE

/ JOB TITLE: ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE (HYBRID)

/ LOCATION: LONDON

/ WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS JOB

We believe that what a brand does is more important than what it says—we want you to help brands do amazing, unprecedented, wild things, creating experiences that people never forget.
From the screens you watch, to the registers you pay at, to your Facebook, to your actual conversations, to the concerts you go to, we put brands there in a way that’s different and entertaining. We integrate sponsorship, shopper, design, technology, social, promotions, PR, digital and entertainment and more – in a total brand experience for the modern consumer and business customer.
Quite simply, our job is to help brands flourish – and we do this as one global agency (within the IPG family of agencies) with more than 30 offices around the world – all of us working together, eager to invent, challenge the norm and set the world on fire. To make that possible, we hire people who are ravenous for ingenuity and impatient with the status quo. We like good people, and we like really thrilling people. When those two things come together it’s a talent experience for the books. The biggest asset we have is our talent, and we take that seriously.
