Experiential Account Manager - Live Events & Brand Activations

New York City, NY In person Full-time

Imagination is hiring an Experiential Account Manager to lead live events, brand activations and product launches for global automotive and other clients – from first brief through on-site execution and wrap and that create memorable, measurable impact for our clients. You’ll own client relationships day to day, translate brand and campaign objectives into standout experiences, and work closely with creative, production and on-site teams to bring them to life on time and on budget.

As part of our Client Services team, you will be the lead across strategy, creative and event production , and the trusted point of contact for senior and executive client stakeholders. This agency-side role blends account management, project leadership and production . You will own the day-to-day success of large-scale experiential marketing programs – from immersive pop-ups, conferences, auto shows, vehicle reveals, ride-and-drives, dealer and press events, and immersive brand experiences – keeping work moving, directing internal teams and anticipating what needs to happen next.

Our work follows the heartbeat of major live events and launches. This occasionally means evening, weekend and on-site support, so we prioritize ‘flexibility both ways’ – balancing show days with dedicated downtime. This role is ideal for someone who lives and breathes experiential marketing, is confident running multiple projects at once, and enjoys collaborating with both clients and internal teams to deliver best-in-class live experiences.

Is This Role for You? You have 4+ years in account management or event production at an experiential, live events or integrated marketing agency. You have led live events or brand activations on-site and stayed calm when plans change on show day. You can read a production schedule, run of show and budget – and you know when to flag a risk. You enjoy being the go-to person for senior, executive-level clients. Please note: this is a client services role within a creative experience agency – not a sales, SaaS or customer success role.
