Account Executive
Concept Arts is seeking an Account Executive to own and grow a portfolio of entertainment clients, with primary responsibility for Key Art and a meaningful contribution to Social and AV revenue. This is a client leadership role, not a support position. The Account Executive is accountable for retaining and expanding a $2-4M annual book of business by building genuine client relationships, driving multi-discipline engagement, and delivering creative work that clients can't imagine getting anywhere else. This position reports to the Head of Accounts.
What Success Looks Like
Revenue Performance
- Own a $2-3M annual revenue target for Key Art/Print work. Social and AV work are a plus.
- Maintain a healthy, active pipeline with clear next steps and defined owners
- Close:
- Key Art campaigns and retainers
- Social programs and retainers
- AV projects and multi-phase engagements
- Push toward multi-discipline and multi-phase scopes over one-off projects
- Deliver consistent growth quarter over quarter
Client Relationship Leadership
- Serve as the primary point of contact for your clients – the person they trust, call first, and want to keep
- Build relationships at the decision-maker level, not just the day-to-day contact
- Position Concept Arts as a long-term creative partner, not a vendor fulfilling briefs
- Identify and act on expansion moments – new titles, new platforms, new teams within an existing client
Project & Account Management
This role owns the full lifecycle of each project – from brief to delivery. You will likely manage your own work without the support of a dedicated coordinator or account manager. Strong organizational discipline and proactive communication are not nice-to-haves; they are the job.

- Write thorough creative briefs that give the team everything they need: strategy, scope, schedule, and brand context
- Manage revision and feedback loops clearly and efficiently – nothing falls through, no one is chasing you
- Stay current on all accounting tasks: SOWs, PORs, freelancer invoices, and estimates
- Track and record billing activity regularly; flag budget issues early
- Partner directly with Creative Directors and Creative Leads to ensure work is on-brand and on-strategy
- Evaluate creative through your client's lens– be their voice in the building
Business Development
- Identify expansion opportunities within your existing client portfolio
- Collaborate with Head of Accounts and division leads to develop multi-discipline pitches
- Lead scopes, estimates, and proposals for your accounts
- Maintain disciplined pipeline tracking

What We Do
Concept Arts was officially founded in Los Angeles in 1980, eight years after its beginnings in 1970’s London. From the iconic 1985 Teen Wolf poster and She’s Gotta Have It in 1986, to genre-defining key art for The Matrix in 1999, to the groundbreaking 2021 digital campaign for Wandavision, we’ve been a part of some of pop culture history’s most indelible moments. Our agency has grown up alongside the entertainment industry for half a century, and taken part in the evolution of creative advertising since before the Internet. Even as we’ve expanded into the digital space with award-winning social campaigns and 360 executions, we’ve never forgotten our roots. Institutional memory and long-term growth have proved what we always believed: fulfilled people produce quality work. Concept Arts offers every employee multiple avenues for career growth and empowerment within our company. From dedicated culture forums, to mentorship programs, and more, we strive to give each individual the resources they need, and the opportunity to explore their potential.
