Heather Green
The relationship between account management and activation within a media agency can be challenging. When you work with an account leader who is absolutely phenomenal and knows how to manage these challenges, it is cherished. Amber Kuhnert represents that individual. Amber leads the most prolific global media business with unmatched proficiency, humility, grace and professionalism. She is the partner who you can trust when you’re having a bad day. She’s the advocate who you can talk to when things are going great or things need her attention. Her organizational and project management skills are fantastic, and I admire her ability to approach client challenges so strategically. Her energy is so positive and she’s a pleasure to be around. She is the epitome of what a great coworker should be, and I really hope to work with her again one day. She’s a 10/10.

Amber is an amazing person to work with. She has a strong sense for what is right for the business and will passionately stand up for ideas that she believes in. She strikes a great balance between being a great advocate for good creative work and ensuring that the client feels that they have what they need to succeed. She also runs a very tight ship when it comes to ensuring that the business is moving forward and that no balls are going to be dropped. I have also been very impressed with Amber in high level client meetings and her ability to hold the room and present with conviction and authority.
