Assistant Account Executive

Job Description
We’re Looking for an Assistant Account Executive at ADsmith

ADsmith is looking for a motivated, detail-driven account service professional to join our team of strategists, creatives, and media specialists. This role is built for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where organization, communication, and follow-through are the foundation of great work.

You’re a natural connector. You understand how projects move through an agency — from brief to delivery — and you know how to keep all the right people informed without letting anything fall through the cracks. You don’t just track tasks; you help the team run better.

Working closely with our Account Leads, you’ll be the communication hub between account service, creative, digital, and media — keeping work moving, quality high, and clients well-served. You’ll contribute ideas, manage project flow, and help ensure every deliverable lands on time and on strategy.

If you’re someone who gets energized by a well-run process, thrives in a team environment, and wants to grow inside a creative agency that takes its work seriously — this is the role.

A Little About Us

We’re ADsmith — a team of strategists, creatives, media specialists, researchers, and award-winning storytellers who believe in Intentional Marketing. Everything we do is grounded in smart strategy and data, but always with an eye toward human connection and real-world results.

We work with regional brands, national manufacturers, and passionate local businesses across a wide range of industries. Some are exciting and high-profile; others are quieter but equally essential. We treat them all with the same level of creativity, curiosity, and care.

We’re a team of about 20 people based in Springfield, Missouri. We work hard, we take our craft seriously, and we genuinely like each other. Culture isn’t a bullet point here — it’s something we protect. We want people who love what they do and love who they do it with. ADsmith is meant to be a career and a community — a place where you work, play, and thrive.

We’re growing intentionally, which means we hire carefully. If that sounds like your kind of place, keep reading.
