Account Director

Publicis Groupe • El Segundo, CA • 1h ago

Company description

On the day Fallon opened its doors without a single client, it did so under the headline, "A new advertising agency for companies that would rather outsmart the competition than outspend them."

More than 40 years later, and this mantra is unwavering. We are a creatively-led agency who pinned our public reputation on our commitment to smarts.

Smart brands create something of value in the world: entertainment value, social value, and belief value. Smart brands are additive to peoples' lives and to culture. They help build ideas in the world, and they leave something behind.

Overview

The Account Director is a senior client partner and integral leader within an integrated agency team, responsible for aligning strategy, creative, media, and delivery teams around shared client business objectives.
