Senior Account Manager (Content and Influencer Strategist)

Job Responsibility: Company Description

A three-time SABRE Canadian Agency of the Year winner North has achieved unprecedented success since launching in 2011. North's fresh approach to PR, influencer, social and digital has helped cement it as a Canadian agency leader. North has found the sweet spot between boutique and large agency: this ‘twelve-year-old start-up' is running on fresh momentum. What's the secret? While a slew of major new clients are tapping the team for their unique blend of expertise, many of North's "OG" clients are expanding their work with the agency, fuelling organic growth.

We're an agency all about taking risks, thinking big and a true belief that good ideas can come from anywhere.

(And yes, the rumours are true: North is a "No timesheet agency.")
