account director

The person at an agency (usually advertising or some sort) who listens to and interprets client and agency team members' problems, thoughts, challenges, goals, preferences, opinions, and more - and then tries to make sense of it for everyone else.

AKA: A universal partner to clients & agency; ping pong ball; conductor; pilot; captain; cheerleader; hostess; strategist; go-getter; ball-buster; fixer; and problem solver....a regular Don Draper.
We didn't understand what the client meant, but the Account Director did - so we're saved (for now).

Accunt Director

When a person accidentally makes a mistake (dropping the ‘O’ in this case) and ends up telling the truth.

an Account Director is primarily responsible for the management of relationships with clients. As the senior point of contact for an agency’s customers, the Account Director also co-ordinates the resources needed to service projects, builds strategic operational plans and balances the expectations of clients with the execution of creative work.

an Accunt Director is only focused on the management of relationships which benefit themselves. By becoming the sole point of contact for an agency’s customers, the Accunt Director becomes indispensable even though they have no interaction with the people servicing projects, don’t understand strategic operational plans and have absolutely no interest in the execution of creative work.
