How long have you been with Acceleration Partners and what is your role?
I’ve been with Acceleration Partners for five years and I’m an Account Director on the Core Team.
What do you do as an Account Director?
I work closely with my account teams to ensure our
clients are happy with
our services and we’re delivering on strategy. I also act as a point of escalation as needed.
How did you first get into the affiliate marketing space?
A friend of mine was a graphic designer for Pepperjam and said they had some openings on their client services account teams, so I applied,
googled affiliate marketing prior to my interview (I honestly didn’t have a clue) and was hired. Right away I started managing some high-end fashion brands (Halston Heritage, Genetic Denim, Koolabura) as well as some active and sportswear clients (Kill Cliff, Augusta Active, and Holloway Sportswear). It was one of those sink or swim situations and thankfully I swam!
What is your favorite part of your job?
I love working with people. I love that I’m able to share my experiences and learnings with my team and invest in their professional growth. I also enjoy talking strategy and offering recommendations to our clients during check-ins, so as to best understand how Acceleration Partners can help deliver on their
overall business goals.
What’s your favorite part about working from home, and what has surprised you about remote work?
I enjoy the flexibility of
working from home and how much more productive I am. It’s neat to be able to create a calm, at-home work environment and have my pup for an office mate.
