Account Executive
Concept Arts is seeking an Account Executive to own and grow a portfolio of entertainment clients, with primary responsibility for Key Art and a meaningful contribution to Social and AV revenue. This is a client leadership role, not a support position. The Account Executive is accountable for retaining and expanding a $2-4M annual book of business by building genuine client relationships, driving multi-discipline engagement, and delivering creative work that clients can't imagine getting anywhere else. This position reports to the Head of Accounts.
What Success Looks Like
Revenue Performance
Own a $2-3M annual revenue target for Key Art/Print work. Social and AV work are a plus.
Maintain a healthy, active pipeline with clear next steps and defined owners
Close:
Key Art campaigns and retainers
Social programs and retainers
AV projects and multi-phase engagements
Push toward multi-discipline and multi-phase scopes over one-off projects
Deliver consistent growth quarter over quarter
Client Relationship Leadership
Serve as the primary point of contact for your clients – the person they trust, call first, and want to keep
Build relationships at the decision-maker level, not just the day-to-day contact
Position Concept Arts as a long-term creative partner, not a vendor fulfilling briefs
Identify and act on expansion moments – new titles, new platforms, new teams within an existing client
Project & Account Management
This role owns the full lifecycle of each project – from brief to delivery. You will likely manage your own work without the support of a dedicated coordinator or account manager. Strong organizational discipline and proactive communication are not nice-to-haves; they are the job.
Own day-to-day project management across your entire portfolio – timelines, status, assets, and deliverables
Write thorough creative briefs that give the team everything they need: strategy, scope, schedule, and brand context
Manage revision and feedback loops clearly and efficiently – nothing falls through, no one is chasing you
Stay current on all accounting tasks: SOWs, PORs, freelancer invoices, and estimates
Track and record billing activity regularly; flag budget issues early
Partner directly with Creative Directors and Creative Leads to ensure work is on-brand and on-strategy
Evaluate creative through your client's lens– be their voice in the building
Business Development
Identify expansion opportunities within your existing client portfolio
Collaborate with Head of Accounts and division leads to develop multi-discipline pitches
Lead scopes, estimates, and proposals for your accounts
Maintain disciplined pipeline tracking
What You Bring
Experience
5-8+ years in entertainment marketing, agency, or studio environment
Proven experience managing Key Art campaigns from brief through delivery
Track record owning or meaningfully contributing to revenue targets
Established relationships with entertainment marketing and creative advertising decision-makers
Experience working across multiple disciplines – Key Art, Social, and/or AV
Skills
Strong client communicator – clear, confident, and responsive
Strategic thinker who sees the bigger picture on an account, not just the current project
Skilled scoper and negotiator
Highly organized with sharp attention to detail
Collaborative partner to creative, production, and division teams
Compensation
Base salary 100-130k
Commission on personal sales
Accelerator after quota
Performance is measured against clearly defined KPIs, including pipeline health, closed revenue, expansion rate, and growth against target.
