ATS Resume Optimization for Advertising Account Executives
Advertising Account Executives run the client-service layer inside an agency โ coordinating campaigns, briefing creative teams, and stewarding budgets across a book of concurrent paying clients. That multi-client, agency-billing resume content is what distinguishes this from a single-employer B2B sales title, and it is what an agency ATS is tuned to read. Job-board data puts the US average at $116,975/yr, rising to $143,663 in New York City. This vertical isn't marketed on growth โ agency employment is contracting under AI-substitution and in-housing pressure โ so we optimize instead for the ATS-intensity and portfolio complexity that make agency resumes hard to screen well. We rewrite your resume and LinkedIn profile so the ATS reads your account work the way an agency recruiter would.

Why this matters now
Job-board data puts the US average for an Advertising Account Executive at $116,975/yr ($90,326-$154,533), rising 23% to $143,663 in New York City โ with the multi-client, creative-brief resume content that has no equivalent in a single-employer B2B sales role.
Agency employment is contracting rather than growing (US advertising/PR/related-services employment fell every month from December 2024 through May 2025 per Ad Age), so this title is optimized on ATS-intensity and portfolio complexity, not a growth pitch.
