Kat Jones Interview

Capturing clients’ long-term interest in your brand is a challenge in our ultra-competitive world, where brand loyalty is hard to come by. Building the steady, trustworthy relationships with clients necessary for business growth goes beyond selling the initial experience of a product or service. This is where account management comes into the fold, and those long-term relationships are strengthened, maintained, and nourished. From providing top-notch customer service, to assisting in strategy development, and monitoring jobs to ensure clients’ needs are met, account managers play one of the most crucial roles within a company.

Meet Kat Jones, our Senior Account Manager at Kessler Creative. Kat manages some of our largest accounts here at Kessler Creative, including the Jacksonville Jaguars, and has received nothing but rave reviews from her clients. Kat is accountable, committed, and diligent in her work each day she steps into the office. She continues to aim above client expectations, which has led to her exceptional track record at the company over the last six years.
