Looking for an outgoing Client Services Executive - corporate concierge services, events and travel for media & advertising sector clients!
COMPANY
Award winning Media company specialising in the Corporate Barter market (advertising & distribution channels). Fun, dynamic and fast paced London based company (circa 50 staff with a dedicated Events Team of two) whose core business is trading in media & advertising spaces for corporate companies. The Events Team organise a range of corporate events, conferences & incentives, client entertaining & corporate hospitality for their partners & clients (these are media & advertising agencies primarily) as well as acting in a corporate concierge focused capacity in terms of organising business flights, accommodation, restaurant bookings, travel travels etc for their clients.
ROLE
This permanent Client Services Executive role (working in a team of two – you’ll report to the Client Services & Events Manager) will see you working in the fast paced and exciting client services & events department of this leading award-winning Media company.
This is a mixed role of client servicing (taking business requests & event briefs, working closely with clients on their requirements, corporate concierge services, travel & hotel logistics) and client event management (event design & planning, venue & supplier sourcing, budgeting & supplier rates negotiation, on-site event delivery, all event related admin & reporting and post-event reconciliation).
The split is “60% event management” with “10% organising business travel” (in a concierge type capacity) and the remaining “30% will be admin and supporting the Client Services Manager”.
The events will include incentives, corporate team building, 1-2 day conferences, product launches, exhibitions, dinners, client entertaining & networking events and corporate hospitality mostly in the UK but occasionally in Europe & US for 15-500pax and with varying budgets for the company’s key clients which are media and advertising agencies.
There is a small amount of business development within the remit of this role but this relates to suppliers (hotels, venues, restaurants, travel services etc..) and is focused on negotiating the best possible rates with existing suppliers as well as keeping abreast of and reaching out to, new “hot” suppliers to ensure you’re offering your clients the most innovative as well as best price solutions.
IMPORTANT: The Client Services team operate as a sort of in-house events & client servicing agency so this role will suit a commercially savvy events professional who has good negotiation skills and understands the agency environment (i.e. making the right margins without compromising the quality of an event/business trip).
YOU
You’ll be a fun, confident and super organised Client Services Executive / Event Executive / Account Exec who has experience in corporate concierge services, B2B events & client entertaining. Open to backgrounds (agency, in-house, supplier-side) but you’ll need to be a really bright spark (outgoing and great with people & clients) who wants a mixed role of event management, client servicing and admin.
You’ll need to be a good “all-rounder” with circa 1 year of “client servicing” experience (2nd jobber ideally) who has strong commercial acumen and good event management, travel logistics and concierge service skills. You’ll also need to enjoy working closely with clients and must have a “sleeves rolled up” & “can-do / proactive” attitude (i.e. be happy to do event & client servicing related admin as well as the more exciting elements of event planning, venue & supplier sourcing, on-site delivery etc...).
Exciting and interesting permanent agency-side corporate B2B events roles working across the fast paced and creative media & advertising sectors don't come around very often so if you're a “star” Client Services Executive / Event Executive / Account Executive / Event Co-ordinator who is commercially savvy, great with clients, passionate about events and top-quality client servicing then this a once in a life time opportunity!

Whether you’ve been thinking of a job move for a while but just not got your act together, or you’ve suddenly found yourself out of a job and needing to get sorted fast… here are our top tips to get you on track when starting out on that all-important job search.
1. CV CV CVFirst and foremost, get your CV together. This can seem daunting – particularly if you have not done one for a while or have a long career history … it’s amazing how difficult it can be to remember all that you’ve done! The trick is to not worry too much initially about getting it too ‘perfect’ - a straight forward, clear, chronological run down of your work history is great! Many people refine their CV as they go along or have different versions. The important thing now is to get down on paper what is factually correct – so make sure you’ve got the basics in there … companies, dates, roles, key responsibilities. Add in your contact details and education – and done! You’re ready to go!
As well as being your essential ‘calling card’, getting your work history down on paper can be a brilliant motivational exercise too ... it’s easy to forget just how much you’ve achieved – so it’s a great opportunity to take a step back and take stock of how much experience you’ve got under your belt to offer a new employer.
You can refine your CV over time, so don’t let “I’ll wait ‘til I get my CV done” be the excuse that’s holding you back from getting your job search well and truly under way. Keep it simple, and get it done.
For more in-depth guidance on writing your CV see our blog - 'Writing your CV'.
2. BRAINSTORM YOUR GOALSHave a ‘brainstorm session’ to clarify what it is you are looking for. If you’re not on a standard career path – and let’s face it in events is there such a thing? - then it can sometimes be tricky to know exactly what you are looking for. Best thing here is to do a bit of a brain dump – big piece of paper, loads of thoughts.
You may have a really clear idea of the sort of role you want, or you may be open to a number of different paths.
Don’t let it hold you back if you are not sure – you can follow up on a number of channels within your job search. Just get your thoughts down on paper, and then in order.
If you have a clear idea – great – but if you are not sure, just work out what the main ideas are so you can easily and clearly articulate these to others if you are asked … ‘what sort of role are you looking for?’, or ‘do you have a clear idea of what you’re looking for’.
A good ‘make it happen trick’ is to simply write down a whole lot of information about what you are best at – you may not know the title of the role you’re after or which organisation it is with, but at least you know you are looking for a role that features a lot of ‘what I’m best at’!
You should also give thought to what salary you are looking for. We’d recommend having a salary range in mind, rather than a figure. This allows you to respond flexibly and openly to opportunities, and not restrict yourself too much.
3. RESEARCH & SIGN UPResearch relevant job sites and recruitment consultancies – you’ll normally find there are some specialist websites and job boards which are focussed on your sector or specialism – these are often linked to the main publications within your sector, but also check out industry associations for where relevant roles are likely to be advertised.
Get to know who the main recruiters are in your sector. The ‘smart’ trick here, to save on scrolling through endless web pages of irrelevant roles, is to sign up for job alerts so you’re getting relevant jobs sent to you as soon as they come up.
Most publications, recruitment agencies and job boards do a daily or weekly update – so make sure the jobs come to you hot off the press.
4. BE READY TO ACT…If you get a positive response to a job application that you’ve submitted, make sure you are in the right mind set to get on with things. It’s not uncommon for us to receive CVs in response to our adverts but be met with an eerie silence when we try and contact that candidate to find out more!
Opportunities can move fast – everyone’s busy out there, they’re not going to wait around for you … so, if you’re taking the time to apply for roles, make sure you’re ready to respond if you’re contacted!
If you are looking for a job, people will want to talk to you on the phone or face to face, so get into the mindset of being flexible. Perhaps make sure you have a time set aside morning, lunchtime and evening, just to check up on any job responses or are available for calls. Have an ‘interview outfit’ ready to go… swot up now on a few interview tips by reading our article - 'What Should I Wear to My Job Interview?'. In recruitment it is often the early bird that catches the worm – if you’re indulging in a bit of navel gazing or waiting for your interview suit to come back from the dry cleaners, someone else has got on with it, gone in and possibly got the job.
Another quick pointer on this - closing dates on advertising boards are when the role ends its advertising slot, so don’t confuse those with a stated ‘closing date’ for applications that would be in the advert copy. If you see something you are interested in, apply as soon as possible ... you may well miss the boat if you don’t.
5. UPDATE YOUR SOCIAL MEDIAIf you are able to promote the fact that you are looking – do it! “Event Manager – Currently looking for new opportunities” will invite recruiters to get in touch with you – so update your LinkedIn profile if you can.
Obviously if you don’t want your current employer to be aware of your search, you won’t be able to do this! But what you can do is update your profile, so that recruiters who are doing internet searches will find you and see your specific experience easily – make sure all your role titles and companies are on there. Recruiters spend a lot of time searching for talent for great roles… make sure you come up on those searches!
Oh… and be prepared with a bit of script for those awkward moments if a recruiter calls you and your boss is standing next to you. Be prepared, and have a confident reply already in mind – “Sorry, can’t talk now, I’m busy, but can you email me, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.” … “ PPI Companies! They just won’t leave me alone!”
6. LET PEOPLE KNOWA lot of roles come about by word of mouth --- often not a direct contact, but someone you know happens to be chatting to someone, who will mention a role, and that person will think of you! But only if they know what you’re capable of, what you’re interested in, and that you’re up for change.
To manage things politically you don’t have to let people know if you are miserable at work, you just need to let them know you’re ready for new challenges!
7. SET A SCHEDULESet an action plan and schedule. A job search can feel soul destroying …. it can take a while, it can have a few disappointments, and you can sometimes feel that nothing is happening despite all your efforts and applications. Be prepared for that, build it in to your plan, know that it can take a while. Keeping the momentum going and your motivation up is key – and essential to that is having a plan in place. Keep a log of what you’ve done … put some goals in there and build in milestones to either pat yourself on the back in terms of the effort you’ve put in or to review what might not be working.
Keep on it, and schedule time in each week to review roles that have come up and chase up on roles you’re waiting to hear back on. Remember every application is getting you nearer that dream next step – stay focussed, stay patient and stay on it. Give yourself a realistic time scale and build in measures so you can see you’re doing the groundwork, even if the perfect role hasn’t come up… yet.
8. STAY POSITIVEWe often say to candidates, it can be a bit like waiting for a bus … the right role might not come up for some time, and then suddenly several great ones come up at once! So, our final tip is stay positive and stay on it – in job hunting it is certainly true that you will reap what you sow!

We must admit we’re partial to a bit of alliteration in our blog titles, and we also think 8 is quite enough to be getting on with to get you started!
