The Martin Agency
Account Director
WE ARE / Account Leadership. Champions of creativity, protecting and elevating ideas for clients who believe in the power and prosperity of inventive thinking.
YOU ARE / An orchestrator of ideas, people, and influence. An idea-generator who sees every angle of creative impact across a client’s business. Strategic. A collaborative pusher of work. Knowledgeable in advertising, ready to share that knowledge with your clients and teams. Collected in the face of conflict, a rock in any storm.
THE TEAM
To be in account leadership at Martin is to champion creativity.
Our ambition? Declaring Martin the most forward-thinking agency in the world.
We fight for, protect and elevate ideas for clients who believe in the power of inventive thinking. We create ideas that consumers talk about, and that our clients prosper from. Ideas that we're proud of.
And we’re a little bit of everything: trusted advisors, mentors, problem-solvers, cheerleaders and creative partners. We are as devoted to our client's brands as they are, and know what our clients need before they do. Strong relationships breed the confidence, trust and accountability that allow us to create the best work of our lives—for our clients, and for our agency.
To us, unity and belonging are motivators; buzz and cultural impact too.
Our optimism for our clients and what they’re capable of fuels our teams, allowing us to turn obstacles into even greater opportunities.
That's where you come in.
