About us

 

Brands&People is a brand-centric company focused on mobilizing commercial brands in Latin America. We steer, innovate, communicate, and maximize brands to accelerate growth. We’re a people-centric company, too. We believe that propelling the creative careers of our staff results in stronger brands for our clients. Our team is an eclectic mix of brand leaders, creative directors, designers, copywriters, media executives, and brand managers, headed by French strategist Emmanuel Moreau and Mexican designer Gerardo Ortiz.

 

About you

In this role, your primary focus is to facilitate. 

The question you ask yourself every morning is: How can I facilitate my teammates' work?

You are expected to facilitate work for everyone in your team, by managing the information flow and ensuring  healthy dynamics and daily communication between our teams and clients. You ensure project deadlines are accomplished on a daily basis. You work cross functionally with various teams, clients, suppliers and your Brand Manager. You are the go-to-person at all times when people have questions on information, deadlines, or who's doing what.

In most agencies this position is called Account Executive. We believe that is a cold name for your role and it reflects a work culture focused on transactions where a brand is treated as an account. We rather treat a brand as a brand. Our purpose in Brands&People is to help our clients on brand building, brand growth and brand transformation.

We trust you with these key responsibilities:

1. Facilitate work for your team on a daily basis.
2. Anticipate issues and be always one step ahead.
3. Be sharp and well aware on current projects' status.
4. Document agreements and issues addressed at every meeting.
5. Share simplified recaps with the team and client.
6. Share relevant details either to your Brand Manager or your client when requested.
7. Research and gather relevant information, sharing it in a timely and simple manner. 
8. Keep working files visible, up to date and within reach for everybody.
9. Ensure deadlines are followed and met.
10. Coordinate and assure timely execution of deliverables with all parties involved.
11. Follow tasks through completion, being the last and ultimate filter for details.
12. Keep an accurate control of worked hours, as evidence of the journey and the team's efforts.
13. Report your team's worked hours in a complete, timely and conscious manner.
14. Integrate, simplify and report relevant information, as input for your Brand Manager, to create powerful presentations showing progress on projects.
