Bio
Kay Johnson
I highly recommend Polly if you’re looking for top-notch account management. In addition to being buttoned-up, responsive, reliable, and an adept troubleshooter and problem-solver, Polly was way ahead of the game in being a careful listener and really heard what clients were saying about their pain-points, challenges, opportunities, and needs. She retains and grows client accounts by providing strategic (and sometimes practical/pragmatic) recommendations and making the time to authentically build relationships. Polly is exceptional at executing on the fundamentals of account management, however, she exceeds expectations by being the ears/eyes of the client with the agency team and being an enthusiast/advocate for the agency with clients. She also has experience in project management and can plan, resource, manage, execute, track results and provide recommendations to improve performance and drive the business to meet critical KPIs. Last, but hardly least, Polly is a pleasure to work with -- coach/player, kind, witty, and positive.
