AV Account Manager

ABOUT BOUNTIFUL COW 

We are a growing team of 30+ based in Covent Garden, London, managing £60 million in billings from clients such as BVGroup, The Telegraph, Clearpay, Rana Pasta, Numan, and Haier/Hoover. 

We are an independent challenger business offering clients media, creative, and strategic services to fuel their business growth with Relative Advantage™. 

Relative Advantage™ is our agency proposition and how we do things differently. It’s about daring to defy the conventional norms of growth within our clients’ categories and finding the clear space to stand out by outsmarting, rather than simply outspending, the competition. It’s about punching well above our weight and finding opportunity in unconventional places. 

Our transparency enables us to do this. We are fully transparent, making money only from our clients, which means freedom for our teams to plan and buy in the interest of our clients while remaining highly competitive in the market. 

We provide our clients with all the benefits of a smaller agency combined with those of a larger agency, thanks to our ownership by the7stars group. As part of the7stars group, we have access to shared services, providing our clients with specialist expertise beyond the size of our agency, including Partnerships, Production, Trading, Ad-tech, Data Analysis, and an IPA effectiveness-accredited team. 

OUR VALUES:  

No Sacred Cows – Challenge received wisdom. Re-evaluate everything, constantly. Nothing is off the table. 

Don’t Follow The Herd – We're here to do things differently to the way everyone else does it. Stand out to succeed or risk the danger of being indifferent. 

No Bullsh*t – Always tell the truth, even if it’s inconvenient. Don’t shy away from complexity (but don’t overcomplicate).
