Why be an Account?

Why do I want to be an account Manager? This question was in my mind when I went to every agency visit.  Each agency treated their account managers differently.  Some had them strictly working with clients to then repeating what the client wants to the team and that’ll be it.  While on the other hand, some account managers went on production sites and were in creative and strategy meetings having a foot in every process leading up to a launch.  That right there is why I want to be an account manager.  I love have a foot in every step of the way.  That is what sold me on the focus.  So it was nice to visit agencies and get a taste of how certain agencies treat their account managers.  Visits like Rokkan, Saatchi & Saatchi, and BBDO were places that struck my eye on places that I would love to be an account manager for.
