Clever Punch is Hiring - Marketing Account Manager
*We are only accepting applicants currently residing in the Santa Barbara area.
What’s the best part about this job?
We are a highly productive and highly creative team! We work together to generate some serious momentum for our client’s marketing. We treat each other with the utmost respect, and have a healthy work / life balance. When we are here, we are grinding! When it’s time to go home, we shut off our phones and email and enjoy life outside of work!
So what does a Marketing Account Manager do?
The most important thing is that you have to love people and find fulfillment in helping them succeed. Second, you need to have a knack for writing clear, succinct, dynamic copy. Third, most important thing is that you have to have a sharp eye for good aesthetic and design. That doesn’t mean you have to be an expert with Adobe Illustrator or InDesign, but at a minimum, you have to know when something looks good.
Clever Punch's Marketing Account Manager helps accomplish our client's scope of work on a weekly and monthly basis. Each client has an array of tasks that relate to their big picture over-arching goals. Those tasks could include copywriting, graphic design, email campaigns, social media management, website design and updates, photography, analytics, and even general data entry tasks. Our Account Managers help us stay on track in completing the week's tasks for the time we have allotted. You'll be communicating with clients directly with updates or for approval, and may work with other freelancers, delegating and approving their work.
