Team Accord: Kris Klitou, Senior Account Manager
Meet Kris our Senior Account Manager with a track record of fostering enduring client relationships and driving business growth.
What inspired you to start a career in performance marketing?
I was in my third year of studying to become an Accountant, and I got disillusioned with it to be honest and I couldn’t bear the thought of looking at balance sheets for the rest of my life. So, I decided to venture out and apply for roles outside of finance, came across Accord Marketing and instantly just wanted to be part of its culture. It’s fun, very sociable and you are constantly learning new things.
What is your role, and what do you enjoy most about it?
My role at Accord is Senior Account Manager - ultimately, I need to develop a strong understanding of the clients I work with and their marketing goals, setting a high standard across all individual and team outputs to inspire confidence and trust.
What project are you most proud of?
I would say it has to be the recent summer campaign we did for the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. We needed to increase awareness and solidify their position as a leading visitor attraction, and through the strategy and various media channels we implemented, I believe we succeeded in achieving that. And, of course, being a big Tottenham fan made it even more enjoyable to work on.
And what do you find the most challenging?
Working in an agency as a Senior Account Manager means you must keep on top of all the tasks and projects for all clients at the same time, which can be tricky and sometimes stressful. But part of my role is being very organised, so making notes in your calendar or just writing a to-do list on a pad certainly helps!
What do you get up to in your spare time outside of work?
Got into golf during lockdown (as it was the only sport you could do) and I’m hooked for life!
What advice would you give to someone starting in the industry?
Keep learning, the industry is always evolving and changing, so keep reading, attend events, take online courses. Be proactive!
If you could swap your role with anyone else in the company, who would it be?
Sally Winfield. Who doesn’t want to be a CEO!
If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?
A bit of a Marvel geek, with Captain America being my favourite superhero, so superhuman strength and speed.
What’s the most interesting book, podcast, or movie you’ve read/watched recently?
I recently watched The Founder, which is a biopic that follows the man who made McDonalds the empire it is today. A really good watch and a reminder that even the simplest ideas need to be invented.
What’s something on your bucket list that you haven’t had the chance to do yet?
I have always wanted to skydive, and I have friends and family that have done it and loved it, so it is something I would like to do one day… if I can build up the courage!
