Account Manager

Alex, the Account Manager, startS his day by logging into Dynamics 365 Business Central to review the current status of his client accounts. The dashboard provides a snapshot of ongoing campaigns, budget usage, and client communications.

Throughout the morning, Alex holds a status update call with a key client. Using Business Central, he can provide real-time updates on campaign performance, including reach, engagement, and budget spent. After the call, Alex logs client feedback directly into the system, ensuring that all team members are aware of any changes to the campaign strategy.

In the afternoon, Alex prepares a detailed report for another client, using data from Business Central to showcase campaign results and ROI.

Taylor reallocates resources and adjusts the budget to maximise the campaign’s impact.

In the afternoon, Taylor meets with the agency’s executive team to discuss long-term marketing strategies.
