Account Executive

In a world of fast scrolls and short attention spans, shouting louder isn't a strategy. Real impact comes from knowing how to show up in the moments and conversations that matter to people.

At Splendid, we build earned-first ideas that connect with real people, in the places they spend time. We help brands shape stories that people share, that change perceptions, spark actions and drive results.

We believe the best brand-building happens when strategy, creativity and delivery are pulling in the same direction.

That's why we created the COUNT framework. It keeps every idea culturally sharp, commercially wired and alive, well beyond the pitch deck.

Because conversations that count aren't coincidental. They're engineered for impact.

Splendid Communications is looking to add an Account Executive to the team, working across high profile consumer clients to deliver PR campaigns.
