account executives

Agency sales representatives

Account executives are salespeople who manage client relationships for a company, typically handling a portfolio of accounts rather than pursuing new leads.

The title is common in advertising, media, and business services: Our account executive walked us through the new campaign.

The role blends sales with ongoing client service—maintaining relationships, handling concerns, and identifying opportunities to expand the business.
