Senior Account Director

CMD is a full-service creative agency that is always hunting for better. We are wayfinders and storytellers, united by one vision: Bring great ideas to light. We do it by tapping 170 experts in Portland, Seattle, San Francisco and Charlotte. We do it with 10 integrated capabilities—from strategy and analytics to UX and video—delivering customized solutions that are as unique as our clients.   

By listening closely, never settling, and crafting ways to tell your story more powerfully and solve business challenges more efficiently we help make brands more compelling, relevant and successful. We do it by looking at what’s working, fixing what isn’t, and grinding like hell to forge work that’s as memorable as it is effective. We’ve done it every day since 1978 through brilliant creative, illuminating strategy and pinpoint analytics. And we’re just getting started.

Account Director

CMD is a fully integrated agency headquartered in Portland, Oregon with offices in Seattle and San Francisco. Our team members include experts from across the marketing spectrum like program planners and video directors, UX architects and creative directors, strategists and developers. 

 The reason CMD strongly believes in this integrated model is simple: developing a single marketing component outside the context of a client’s program-wide plan is neither time- nor cost-effective. And a piecemeal approach seldom leads to optimal results. 

 While CMD has integrated the best aspects of traditional agencies, our team members move beyond what those agencies can do. Instead, we offer a holistic, business-building model that’s designed to help clients form and maintain productive connections with customers—year after year.
