Executive Assistant
What is an Executive Assistant?
We’re the people who help busy executives get the most out of their days. We’re organized, forward-thinking planners and doers who work closely with the most senior people in an ad agency to help them perform their best.
“My job is to help my bosses manage their schedules, keep them informed, and be prepared for anything that may come up. I need to be organized, be able to adapt to different situations, multi-task and be detail-oriented.”
Jennifer L.
This is what I do most days…
I’m detailed with calendars, notes and reminders so nothing gets missed.
I let people know where they need to be, what they need to do, and who they need to connect with.
