How a new head of client services impacts the agency, with Emily Brown & Matt Loughlin

Épisode 124

mardi 22 octobre 2024 • Durée 46:45

Welcome to episode 124. This will be particularly interesting for you if you want to know how much the head of client services role can impact the agency's business. Listen in if you don’t currently have a client services team and you're perhaps thinking about having one, or your client services function isn't performing as you'd like it to and you're exploring options for perhaps bringing in a head of department. Or maybe you are the client services director in your agency and are curious to understand how someone else in this role operates. Emily Brown and Matt Loughlin joined me today from digital marketing agency, Receptional. I met Emily when she was just a few months into joining the agency and I've been very lucky to have the opportunity of working with her in my Account Accelerator programme, and that means I've been working with her for almost a year. This conversation reflects on what she's achieved as the new head of client service. Here are the key themes that we cover during our chat: • why the agency decided in the first place to hire a head of client service • Emily's first 90 days in the role, and how she pinpointed and tackled the key priorities and established herself with the team • the impact this CSD role has had on the agency's operations team and clients just 16 months later • and the learnings from both Matt and Emily's perspective of establishing this new role in the agency that hopefully you can benefit from in your agency. They share lots of detailed tips and examples that I'm sure you're going to find useful. You can connect with Emily and Matt here: https://www.receptional.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/emily-brown-5073993a/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattloughlin/ If you'd like to discuss training and coaching for your client-facing account management team, then you can book a no obligation call with me via my website: https://www.accountmanagementskills.com. You’ll be able to see the different training options I have available, from self-study to long term coaching, and also sign up for my regular newsletter.

An agency leader's guide to account management, with David C Baker

Épisode 24

vendredi 26 mars 2021 • Durée 48:06

Today's episode was a real treat. For me, I have the pleasure of talking to David C. Baker, who is a legend in the agency world. We discussed everything to do with account management, including why David thinks the account management role is the most difficult role in the whole agency. Also the problem with account managers doing project management tasks, where he sees performance deficiencies in account management, and some brilliant advice for how to address those deficiencies, and also up your account management game. Why he suggests agencies asked their clients to take personality profile tests, why account management don't receive guidance from agency owners, and so many more topics. I really enjoyed this chat, and I know you're going to come away with some value.

How to move from agency employee to agency owner, with Simon Barbato

Épisode 23

mardi 23 mars 2021 • Durée 46:55

This episode is for you if you're working for a creative/digital agency and are thinking about becoming an agency owner. It's also one to listen to if you're in a planning role (sometimes referred to an agency strategist) or are wondering whether your talents might be suited to this role. Simon Barbato is the founder of Mr. B and Friends. Like me he started his career in advertising in the 1990s in client service. He quickly then transitioned into a strategist/planner role and then eventually became an agency owner. In this episode, he is going to share his journey, the ups the downs, and also his advice for you if you're considering something similar. He's also going to share why he believes now is a great time to make that leap. I've asked Simon to share with us a little bit more about the role of a planner in an agency, how they work with the account management team, how it adds value to clients and leads to client retention and at what point an agency should consider having one. Enjoy.

Why 98% of online ads don't work - and what to do about it, with Martin Lucas

Épisode 22

mardi 16 mars 2021 • Durée 50:25

In this episode Martin Lucas, Mathematical Psychologist and Founder of the company Gap In the Matrix is about to blow the lid off many of the sacred cows in the agency world. He has spent four years studying why humans don't understand humans and how brands are missing a trick when it comes to engaging their customers and understanding why they make purchasing decisions. Rory Sutherland, Vice Chairman of Ogilvy said this about Martin's company: "Gap In the Matrix is one of a tiny number of people in the world who understands that it is psychology which offers the greatest potential to revolutionise marketing in the next ten years and beyond.” In this fascinating episode he shares the results of his four year study and drops bombshells like: * Why $265bn of online ads don't get interacted with and the average Facebook ad click through rate is a tiny 1.61%, Google display ad 1.91% and programmatic 0.035% * Why measuring impressions isn't useful * Why brand strategy is stuck in its ways and should be called "performance branding" * Why defining "personas" for a brand isn't helpful * Why the attribution model for measuring online ad performance is wrong * How he is now helping global FMCG brands increase certainty in their marketing spend and save on average 18-21% of their advertising, increasing their profit margins by 3-21% and achieving 70-120% above industry average for open rates and click through rates. I hope you find this episode as intriguing and eye opening as I did.

Épisode 18

mercredi 17 février 2021 • Durée 49:03

James Aldrich is a major account manager with over twenty years experience in both business development and account management in the software industry. James's sector speciality is telecommunications and I invited him to share his experience to see similarities and differences between the account management role in the creative industry and software industry. Despite starting his career wanting to be a film director or a guitarist in a band, he found himself in account management which has not only opened up many career opportunities but has also allowed him to fulfil his ambitions outside of work. In this brilliant chat, James shares his thoughts on: * How your own network is one of the most important aspects of your role and how it can bring value to your clients, your company and to your own career * Why it's important to choose a company to work for that aligns with your personal values * How and when to ask for referrals * Why business development and account management are similar roles * How sharing insight into how other industries work can bring value to your clients * How 'buddy systems' enable junior account team members to get up to speed quickly * Why taking a 'customer first' approach to everything you do leads to success * The importance of ensuring every client communication and touchpoint reflects your company values * Why you should learn from how other industries operate * Why you should always be curious and look ahead to what's changing in your industry and your client's industries I really enjoyed this chat and I hope you come away with some reminders and inspiration for other things you could be doing in your career or role that will be valuable to you, your client and your agency.
