“We need to get rid of the term client ‘service’. We need to be partners and producers. If content is king, then knowledge is prince.” - Paul Bradbury, Chief Executive Officer, WHYBIN \ TBWA GROUP
"It’s time we disrupted the notion of client ‘service’ and a disproportionate emphasis on the client relationship. Strong client-agency relationships are a by-product of providing visible value and ideas that help clients leapfrog their competition to transform the category they’re in.” - Nitsa Lotus, Managing Director, WHYBIN \ TBWA GROUP
"The journey from account management to agency management can be a tricky one, often without much practical advice or guidance along the way. Being great at getting things done is different to being great at leading a team, a client or an agency."- Paul McMillan, Managing Director, Clemenger BBDO Melbourne
During this three day residential course, account management professionals at a senior level will learn how to transition from a management to a leadership role and embrace the complexities of agency life.
