Account Manager

BASK Digital Media is looking for an experienced Account Manager. You’ll take point on day-to-day client project needs, collaborate with our creative and media teams to shape ad concepts and strategy, and be the go-to digital expert on key issues and legislation related to the client campaigns. We’re looking for someone who’s organized, creative, and intensely focused on delivering standout work.

BASK is the team that power players call when the stakes are high and failure isn’t an option. Our clients don’t come to us for fluff. They come to win.

Based in San Diego, we’re a full-service digital powerhouse of 25 experts, including strategists, media planners, ad ops pros, designers, video producers, and web developers, all working together to deliver effective, high-impact campaigns. We deploy cutting‑edge digital outreach and advocacy strategies, persuade voters through precision‑targeted advertising, influence policymakers, build action‑driven websites, and craft attention‑grabbing ads.

We fly under the radar, but our impact is impossible to miss. If you’re ready to jump into the action, move fast, and work on some of the most consequential issues in the country, let’s go.

People know you as someone who’s passionate about politics, local issues, policy, and government affairs. You have a solid grasp of how the political process works in both the U.S. and California. You’re a seasoned leader who stays cool, calm, and collected under pressure. You present well, come across as the expert in the room, and know how to read the moment.

You’re great with people and can easily handle different client dynamics. You take pride in delivering high‑quality work, both on your own and as part of a team. You’ve also got a creative streak with sharp writing skills and you think outside the box. You can visually communicate a message and are known for finding the best video, imagery, and audio to really make an ad pop.

You are a strong believer that no two campaigns are the same and enjoy finding unique ways to solve nuanced challenges. You like to mentor and support junior team members as they grow in their careers. You stay organized even when you’re juggling a lot of competing deadlines and people depend on you to get results.
