A bit about us
We are CHI & Partners, an integrated advertising agency working across multi disciplines
- TV, Radio, press, digital, direct marketing and design. We also have our own media
agency, CHI Media, who buy and plan media. There are about 200 of us in London,
and we've opened an agency in New York. We work hard and play hard (our bar on the
4th floor serves us well).
We've grown enourmously in our 8 years and have won a plethora of industry awards
including Marketing Magazine's Agency of the Year, regularly scooping Lions at Cannes
and named by Revolution as the most creative digital agency in 2008 (testament to
our integrated offering).
People who do well here are self-assured, energetic, entrepreneurial and diligent.
We're looking for people who are strong strategic thinkers, those who are not get
exposed at CHI. Our best people work well as part of a team and are genuinely passionate
about advertising.
What will I be doing?
Unlike a lot of agencies our account handlers have the opportunity to future-proof
their careers by working across a range of communication disciplines (beyond just
traditional advertising). Our working style is very team-based and collaborative.
We don't sit within account teams, but all mixed up, which means you'll get to know
people from all disciplines and departments quickly.
The account Handler's role is to get involved with every part of the process of
making an ad - from the initial client briefing, to the moment it's on TV, on a
billboard, on the web, within a mail-shot or into a magazine. Essentially, you're
responsible for managing the client's relationship with the agency. This means getting
involved in everything: from developing communications strategy, to presenting creative
work; to attending shoots and research groups.
As a Trainee Account Executive, you'll be working as part of a busy account team,
learning the ropes and supporting your team in the day to day running of a particular
client account. You'll certainly never be bored!
