- Ensuring everyone knows what needs to be delivered and by when.

We are looking for someone who does not simply say:“I have forwarded the client's message to the designer.” We need someone who says:
“I have understood the requirement, briefed the designer, followed up on the work, reviewed the first version, incorporated the feedback and taken it to final approval.”6. Quality Control Before anything goes to the client, the Account Manager should review the work.

- Brand consistency
- Correct messaging
- Grammar and spelling
- Visual quality

- Ensure committed deadlines are met.
- Follow up proactively with the team.
- Identify delays before they happen.
- Communicate potential delays to the client in advance.
- Escalate internally when required.
- Take ownership of getting work across the finish line.

- Maintain content calendars.
- Maintain project and delivery trackers.
- Track client approvals and pending feedback.
