A little about us….
Bray Leino is a creative and communication Agency that drives growth through creative energy, by going beyond, to find the most powerful way.
It’s the way we began back in 1974. Before email, before mobile phones, when London was still 6 hours by road, our founders set up shop in a gloriously rural part of the UK. It’s how we grew into a full-service global agency. And it’s how we still look at the world now.
Creative energy is the force that makes us think, create and work differently to our competition. It’s what makes us this thriving powerhouse of free-range thinkers, creators and makers. And wherever we are in the world, connects us all back to one common ambition.
To use creativity to make businesses grow.

What will I be doing?*
We’re on the hunt for an experienced Account Manager looking for a new challenge. You will have the opportunity to join a team who work across a number of accounts who primarily sit in the B2B space. This fantastic opportunity will provide you with the chance to work on some truly global powerhouse brands based and operating both in the UK and beyond.
Despite the reputation B2B isn’t boring. Its brilliant, fascinating, challenging and exciting…Plus with global brands come global budgets to work with.
You’ll work on a varied range of projects including but not limited to brand strategy/development, global campaigns, video production and events. In addition, you will have the opportunity to work with our agency partners in the U.S.
We are looking for someone who is ambitious and enthusiastic. B2B experience is not necessary as you will learn everything you need. So long as you are able to build and maintain client relationships, are organised, highly motivated and passionate you’ll do well.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Building and maintaining strong Client relationships and to be the first point of contact for the Client on day to day matters
- Providing team support across the business to ensure that we meet our deliverables.

*
What will I need?*
You’ll ideally already have impressive ad agency experience and totally get what and where advertising is right now. If you’re already doing impressive things at an integrated agency but looking for a change, even better. Hopefully goes without saying, but you’re ambitious, great with people, on the money, unflappable, and super organised.
You’ll be resilient and able to build good working relationships with Clients, together with a demonstrable track record of delivering for the client when working to tight deadlines.
