AdNews spoke to Senior Account Director Rebekah O’Grady about the world of Account Management. Throughout the article, Bek unpacks her career trajectory to date, how to build strong relationships with clients, and her go-to-tips for navigating challenging conversations.
“I would break it down into two parts: competence and connection. Always act with integrity and do what you say. Plus finding some moments to surprise and delight goes a long way in proving your ability."
