The role
As an Account Manager you will be responsible for selling print and digital advertising to key clients and top Irish corporate companies, plus depending on each campaign, international clients too - through sales meetings.

We are all very passionate about what we do and love to work hard, but we love to celebrate great results and team spirit just as much.
