Sample Response: Associate

As an Account Manager at XYZ Digital Agency, I had the responsibility of managing relationships with a portfolio of clients. One of my clients was a growing retail business that we provided with digital marketing services.

We initiated the relationship through a small project, where we optimized their website for SEO. I made sure to deeply understand their brand, goals and key challenges. I undertook regular calls, promptly addressed concerns, and proposed tailored solutions. This proactive communication and demonstration of our commitment to their success helped us solidify our relationship.

Subsequently, the client entrusted us with more responsibilities like designing their digital marketing strategy, social media management, and content creation. By consistently delivering value and nurturing the relationship, the contract was renewed thrice and became one of our most lucrative accounts. Building and sustaining such a long-term, value-driven relationship with the client was truly rewarding.
