Amazing Company - Account Executive Cherry London Employee Review

Lively, friendly and sociable office filled with people from a range of backgrounds (gaming, PR, film, TV and media). Interesting melting-pot of experience means that everyone has something to contribute. Best thing has to be free breakfasts, egg and avocado every morning if you want it! Genuine commitment to partnerships internally too – collaboration is encouraged and rewarded with team prizes every month, we won last month for non-client related work, which was refreshing. Everyone pitches in and information is shared regularly in weekly and monthly catch-ups. Trust from management – after feedback from the away day they recognised we put in the hours so now we have early finishes every Friday and the Founder funded a private boot camp instructor for us over the summer, which has brought everyone together in and outside work.

The pace is fast and the bar is set high. This can be unsettling for some and in a small agency, your attitude makes a big impact - you need to be comfortable with this kind of challenge and visibility. Expectations are high and everyone gives 100% so you stand out if you don’t. It’s high-growth and expects its people to grow also – if you want to be pushed – it’s great but training hasn’t always matched. Having said that, I’ve had 3 training sessions this year so things are starting to shift and there are ample opportunities to develop your career with exposure to big name clients. Never enough meeting rooms but same grumbles as the last place I worked!

The agency is fast-paced, exciting and family-like environment. There are several clients that have been with the agency since it's inception, but there are always new clients in a wide variety of disciplines. The people are brilliant, creative and professional. Being a small agency there is opportunity to work with senior members of staff and learn from experienced professionals in the team. I started out as an intern and quickly progressed to Account Executive, Account Manager and Senior Account Manager, all of which were on a good salary for each level. If you want to work on a variety of projects, be in a fast paced work environment and get stuck in to agency life, then this is a great place to be. They focus a lot of attention on staff incentives, training and welfare also.

The amount of stairs to get to the third floor! But if you like a work out...then this could be a positive!
