Account Manager | Client Services | PR, Influencer & Events

KRG are recruiting on behalf of a culturally led agency working with an exciting portfolio of premium drinks.

This is an opportunity for an ambitious Senior Account Executive or Account Manager to join an agency where client relationships, creative thinking and cultural relevance sit at the heart of the work.

Working across PR, influencer, events and brand activations, you'll take ownership of client relationships and play a key role in turning creative ideas into campaigns, partnerships and experiences that genuinely connect with audiences.

The Opportunity

This is a highly client services-focused position. You'll be the person bringing together clients, creative teams, influencers, talent, event partners and internal specialists to make sure campaigns move seamlessly from brief through to delivery.

You'll be involved in the creative briefing process, helping shape ideas and ensuring they answer the client's objectives, before overseeing delivery across influencer, events, activations and PR.

Day-to-day, you could be:

• Managing a portfolio of exciting, creative, client accounts and acting as a trusted day-to-day client contact.
• Taking client briefs and translating them into clear, inspiring briefs for creative and specialist teams.
• Managing campaigns across influencer, events, activations and PR, ensuring everything stays on track, on budget and aligned to the client's objectives.
• Building strong relationships with clients, understanding their businesses and proactively identifying opportunities to add value.
• Sourcing relevant influencers, creators, talent and cultural partners for campaigns and brand moments.
• Liaising with talent, agents and partners, including negotiating fees, contracts, deliverables and approvals.
• Working closely with creative teams to develop culturally relevant campaign ideas and activations.
• Supporting the planning and delivery of events, launches, dinners, parties, partnerships and other experiential moments - including being there on the ground to help bring them to life.
• Overseeing PR activity from a client and account management perspective, working with their specialist PRs rather than being heavily executional yourself.
• Keeping multiple projects, stakeholders, timelines and budgets moving simultaneously.

What We're Looking For

You'll ideally be a Senior Account Executive ready to step up or an Account Manager with strong agency-side experience and a genuine passion for culture.

We're particularly interested in people who have worked across consumer, lifestyle, fashion, beauty, hospitality, entertainment, music or other culture-led brands. Drinks experience is not essential, what matters is that you understand how brands can connect with culture, people and communities in an authentic way.

You'll need:

• Agency experience at Senior Account Executive or Account Manager level.
• A strong background in client services and account management, rather than a purely executional PR/ Influencer Marketing role.
• Experience working across some combination of influencer, events, activations, partnerships or PR.
• Excellent client management and communication skills, with confidence leading conversations and presenting ideas.
• Strong project management skills and the ability to manage multiple workstreams at once.
• Experience sourcing influencers, talent or cultural partners and managing relationships/contracts is highly valuable.
• A genuine interest in what is happening across culture - from music and fashion to nightlife, hospitality, entertainment, emerging talent and the brands shaping conversations.
• A proactive, commercially minded approach and the confidence to spot opportunities rather than simply respond to briefs.

Why Join?

• Work with premium, globally recognised brands across drinks, culture and lifestyle.
• Exposure to an exciting mix of influencer, events, activations, partnerships and PR.
• Be close to the creative process without being tied to execution.
• Attend and help deliver exciting events, launches, experiences and cultural moments - there are tons of consumer pop ups, festivals, influencer events and more to attend!
• Work alongside a collaborative, ambitious team with genuine opportunity for progression.
• Take increasing ownership of high-profile client relationships and campaigns.
• A role that rewards cultural curiosity, creativity and strong client relationships.

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who wants to sit at the intersection of clients, creativity, culture, influencers and experiences working with globally recognised brands!
