About YW3

You Win, We Win.

YW3 is a creative studio and consultancy that specializes in brand storytelling with taste, guts, and measurable impact. Our work spans branded content, social-first campaigns, experiential activations, and cultural partnerships — for clients who want to show up differently.

We lead with narrative. We play to win. And we only hire people who make the work — and the room — better.

You’ll have the full YW3 arsenal behind you:

  • Access to our award-winning Studio
     

  • Exclusive representation of Icons (yes, like Annie Leibovitz)
     

  • A boutique roster of creators and entrepreneurs leading the AI x Media revolution
     

  • Creative teams who actually care about doing work that wins hearts and headlines
     

 

The Role

This is a post-sale, client-facing campaign delivery role — and we’re looking for someone who can take the ball and run. Once the deal is inked, you own the work. You’ll be the main point of contact for both internal and external teams, ensuring we deliver what we promised, when we promised, at the highest level possible.

You’ll manage complex, fast-moving campaigns across digital, social, talent, and experiential. You’ll interface directly with clients (often Fortune 500), lead calls, wrangle vendors, keep creatives on track, and make sure our delivery always exceeds expectations. This role is the bridge between ambition and execution.

 

What You’ll Do

  • Lead day-to-day management of projects after the sale is closed
     

  • Be the primary client contact throughout campaign execution — from kickoff to final recap
     

  • Own timelines, deliverables, stakeholder communications, and real-time problem solving
     

  • Coordinate cross-functional teams including creatives, producers, talent reps, and vendors
     

  • Manage feedback loops, approvals, and versioning with grace and clarity
     

  • Keep projects moving inside our business systems (Asana, Pipedrive, Google Suite)
     

  • Track budgets and flag scope shifts in partnership with YW3 leadership
     

  • Ensure deliverables reflect our creative standards, client expectations, and campaign KPIs
     

  • Handle weekly updates, live optimizations, and end-of-project recaps
     

  • Keep the client happy and the YW3 team sane
     

 

You Should Be

  • A confident client whisperer — polished, thoughtful, and in control
     

  • Proactive, not reactive — always thinking three steps ahead
     

  • Obsessed with details, without ever losing the big picture
     

  • Comfortable managing high-stakes campaigns, tight timelines, and ambitious deliverables
     

  • Fluent in digital, social, branded content, and experiential production processes
     

  • Not afraid of fast-moving decks, shifting scopes, or a little healthy chaos
     

  • Respected by creatives, trusted by clients, and cool under pressure
     

 

Requirements

  • 5–10+ years in project or account management within media, creative, or marketing
     

  • Proven experience delivering integrated campaigns across social, digital, and experiential
     

  • Strong familiarity with tools like Asana, Google Drive, Slack, and Keynote/Slides
     

  • Experience managing multi-stakeholder accounts — agency, brand, talent, vendors
     

  • U.S.-based with availability for freelance contract work
     

  • Bonus if you’ve worked in startup-like or agency-of-record environments
     

 

Bonus Points If You

  • Know how to build a client relationship that leads to renewal before the work even ends
     

  • Have talent relations or production chops
     

  • Can write a killer wrap deck (or at least manage the people who can)
     

  • Have worked with Fortune 1000 brands and kept your cool when things got weird
     

  • Believe that “professional” doesn’t mean boring
