Account Manager - Fashion

PURPLE is a global lifestyle communications agency with offices in Los Angeles, Miami, New York, London, Hong Kong & Singapore. 
For more than two decades, PURPLE has been the leader in culturally connected, results driven brand communications. With the original founding team still leading the business, we bring together our cross-generational and diverse personal networks globally to connect people and brands, build strategy and drive commercial success.

Our in-house talent pride themselves on their international networks, working collaboratively across luxury and creative industries to deliver game-changing earned media campaigns that are always bespoke, non-traditional and often provocative. Understanding the world of luxury and the ever evolving possibilities to lead in the space, we offer connected services across Communications, Events, Social Media, Partnerships, and VIP & Talent.

PURPLE doesn’t follow the cultural zeitgeist, we create it.
Who You Are:
PURPLE is on the hunt for an exceptional Account Manager to join our Fashion division and help shape the next chapter of one of the industry’s most respected agencies. Working hand in hand with your Account Director, you’ll create the headline-making moments that define our brands – landing standout product placements, securing covetable profile features, and orchestrating launches the industry talks about long after the lights go down. 
We’re looking for someone with an instinctive feel for brand-building, a true passion for the world of fashion, and the kind of initiative that turns good campaigns into unforgettable ones. Polished client liaison skills and a black book brimming with trusted brand and press contacts are non-negotiable. 
You’ll be the driving force behind awareness for the brands in your portfolio – championing each client across campaigns, special projects, runway shows, presentations, and events. You’ll cultivate meaningful relationships with the journalists and editors who shape the conversation, and you’ll wear PURPLE’s name with pride wherever you go.
