Account Director / Senior Account Director - Brand & Strategy

Account Director - Brand & Strategy is a unique position leading Camron’s global Branding, Brand Strategy, and Content clients from an account perspective.

The candidate should also have experience in some or all of the following sectors (or adjacent sectors): Luxury | Hospitality | Architecture | Design | Culture

This role offers real breadth; working with leading luxury hospitality groups on brand campaigns, boutique scale-ups on growth plans, global architects on brand strategy and premium consumer brands on integrated creative output and social media. A mixture of local and global. B2C and B2B.
