Say Hello to Your Account Manager

Marketing, editorial, design, and sales teams play their own roles in fulfilling a client’s needs and contributing to their success, but account managers are the glue that holds us all together. By combining knowledge of sales, customer service, interpersonal relations, and the client’s big-picture goals, account managers make sure clients’ needs are met and their voices are heard while coordinating with others and fulfilling the contractual day-to-day duties YGS has been hired to perform.

Acting as trusted advisers capable of shifting the team’s focus toward collaboration, YGS account managers develop detailed understandings of client missions and visions and achieve strategic objectives by leveraging their expertise to create growth. As primary liaisons between clients, creatives, and sales teams, YGS account managers build and retain influential relationships while showing clients the value they will enjoy when they continue to use YGS services.
