The Brand Power Company
Mumbai

Job Description

About Us:

The Brand Power Company (a WPP company) is a global leader in performance-driven advertising, helping FMCG brands drive trial, penetration, and sales at scale through trusted, third-party endorsement formats like Brand Power, Medifacts, and Home Tester Club.


With 35+ years globally and a strong presence in India since 2007, we partner with leading brands like Unilever, Reckitt, Dabur, ITC, Haleon, and more—delivering solutions that combine persuasion-led creative + real consumer advocacy + measurable impact.


The Role: Client Growth Lead (Account Director Level)

We’re looking for high-performing agency professionals who understand how FMCG brands grow—and can translate that into business opportunities and long-term partnerships.


This is not a traditional servicing role. This is for someone who can own accounts like a business, identify growth levers, and convert them into revenue.


What You’ll Be Responsible For:

  • New Business Development & Account Management
  • Find, open and grow a set of FMCG/OTC client accounts
  • Identify white spaces, new opportunities, and revenue streams
  • Drive new business from closed FMCG/OTC clients (80%) and incremental business from existing clients (20%)
  • Build strategic POVs on how our solutions can solve brand challenges


Senior Client Relationship Management

  • Work closely with Brand Managers, Marketing Heads, and CMOs
  • Become a trusted partner, not just a vendor
  • Lead high-impact conversations around campaign effectiveness, penetration growth, and ROI


Strategic Thinking (Not Just Execution)

  • Translate brand problems into communication + media solutions
  • Bring strong understanding of:
  • FMCG marketing funnels
  • Shopper behavior
  • Digital + TV + retail ecosystems


Internal Leadership

  • Collaborate with creative, strategy, and production teams
  • Drive clarity from brief → idea → execution → delivery
  • Ensure high-quality output that delivers business results


Who We’re Looking For

  • 4–8 years experience in:
  • Sales/Business Development experience in FMCG space
  • Advertising agencies
  • Media agencies
  • Digital agencies
  • Currently in roles like:
  • Account Manager / Group Account Manager
  • Account Director (or equivalent growth role)


Strong Preference:

  • Experience working on FMCG / OTC brands
  • Proven ability to:
  • Grow accounts
  • Handle senior clients
  • Influence decisions


You’ll Stand Out If You:

  • Think like a business owner, not just a servicing lead
  • Are comfortable with numbers, growth targets, and revenue ownership
  • Can connect marketing strategy → business impact


What You Get

  • Opportunity to work with top FMCG brands & marketing leaders
  • A role that combines:
  • Strategy
  • Creativity
  • Business growth
  • High ownership + fast career progression
  • Strong performance-linked incentives
  • Backed by WPP + global scale + proven frameworks


Compensation

  • 8 to 14 lacs fixed + Variable


Location

  • Mumbai (Andheri West)
