...I want to be an account planner. After learning about all the different jobs available under the advertising umbrella, I feel like Account Planner or Account Executive would best suit my interests and personality. I know I don't want to travel the road of Copywriter or Freelance Artist, but I give major props to those wh oare able to stay inspired enough to make a career out of it! I am very interested in graphic design but I wouldn't want to be doing it 24/7. Account planner seems to fit me for a few different reasons. Among my group of friends, I seem to be the mediator. If there are problems, I am usually the one to "hear both sides" and give a justified decision in what should be done or what was who's fault. I also love to solve problems. What sometimes gets in the way of my problem solving is the fact that I am a people pleaser. My best friend from high school points it out to me almost every time I talk to her. I don't like when people have a problem with me or are unhappy with something I did. Combining these ideas makes for a great account planner, I think. I want to work with the creatives AND the customers to find that happy medium and generate advertising that will make the client happy, but also achieve the goals of the agency. I am so excited to enter the field of advertising because agencies don't have clear cut job responsibilities. It seems like all the people in the agency help the process along and I would be able to do a little graphic design, for example, even though I would be the "suit" of the agency.
