Account Director

Anthem — we move people.

Anthem is an independent entertainment marketing consultancy connecting audiences with live experiences across arts, culture and major events.

We start with passion, assemble the right minds and believe progress comes from courage, imperfection and creative tension.

We are experts, fans and lateral thinkers who are passionate about the arts, collaborative by nature and inclusive by design. We build teams around ideas, not hierarchy, and value people who care deeply about creating great work that makes a difference.

Join us and use your passion to move people.

We’re looking for an Account Director to join Anthem’s senior leadership team. This is a position for someone who sees beyond account management, who builds client partnerships that last, takes genuine ownership of our most important relationships, and helps set the direction of the agency alongside our Executive Directors.

You bring ambition, clarity and commercial instinct to everything you do. You spot growth opportunities before they’re obvious, champion bold thinking that puts audiences first, and raise the bar for the teams around you. Your work is insight-led and creatively excellent — not just built to hit immediate objectives but designed with the long-term success of both Anthem and our clients in mind.
