Account Director (1 year maternity cover)
The role:
This is a maternity cover role. It’s one of our lynchpin roles in the Agency. So, we’re looking for an individual who can inspire, lead and direct the day to day business, across a range of clients, whilst retaining an amazing eye for detail.
Güntner: A German engineering company (that is all about thought leadership). This is our second largest client, and currently we are generating some fantastic global campaigns around Güntner’s approach to sustainability, setting up a new service brand offering and looking to create an Employee Value Proposition for the organisation.
GTT: Another of our B2B clients (US based), provides secure global connectivity and we are focused on helping them create a blueprint for rolling out first class vertical content campaigns, whilst supporting the team on embedding the new brand identity.
EXA: Manages a network of infrastructure that connects Europe and the US. They have great ambitions as a newly formed company and Keel plan to help them achieve those ambitions through content and comms.
Medela & Kiddylicious: This portfolio also includes a couple of well known parenting and baby brands that require insightful handling. These are long term clients and we support them on anything from a global campaign toolkits to expert roundtable interviews. But a considered eye and an understanding of target audience perspective is vitally important.
Channels: Across this diverse range of clients you will find yourself working across an equally diverse range of channels: social, films, digital, website, email, press, global toolkits and of course everything in between.
You will need to ensure we always deliver to the highest of standards both in terms of client service but creatively too. Maintaining/developing fantastic client relationships. Ensuring we don’t simply have functional or production lead relationships but rather collaborative, valuable partnerships. Seizing the opportunity to suggest cross sell and upsell solutions. Hunting out new business opportunities and growing the business . Whilst ensuring we are always on time and budget and the accounts are always profitable.

Life at Keel
Our people and our culture:
We naturally have a great blend of brand and content experience in the agency.
We span a variety of disciplines: strategists, designers, art directors, writers, and account management.
We’re all, pretty well, from a variety of big Agencies: Redwood, Interbrand, Ogilvy and Grey to name but a few. BUT we don’t have big egos. We are a down to earth, flexible, helpful bunch with a great dose of humour and humanity.
And we want all our staff to have a happy and successful career. So no prima donnas need apply!
Working in the office:
Our hours are 9.30 – 6 whether we are in the office or out.
The offices are based in the creative heartland of North Soho: 9-10 Charlotte Mews, W1T 4EF.
We believe being together in a creative environment is so much more conducive to collaboration, ideas and efficiency.
So, at present we are live and in person for 3 days per week: Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. (This is likely to change to more F2F time).
But the office is open for any one to go in at any time, and some people genuinely do go in all the time.
Recharging batteries:
We offer 25 days holiday plus a day off for your birthday.
We also try to shut the office in between Christmas & New Year- if we do shut, this holiday period is in addition to the annual allowance.
