Ever heard of the term, "advertising agents"? If you are running a business right now or some sort of organisation, or if you are currently on the lookout for ways to market your individually produced products and/or services, then chances are, you might have already encountered about a handful of these so-called, ""advertising agents."" Actually, the truth is that these people who serve as agents of an advertising firm to individuals or businesses that might be in need of help in making their offerings known to the public are not really called advertising agents. In the industry, they are more popularly--and properly--known as advertising account executives.

To guide you through, here is a list of the job duties and responsibilities associated with account executive jobs:

- Conduct studies that bear relationship to the project at hand--the trends in the industry at the moment, who or which companies they may be in a tough competition with in the project, and compare various end results of the projects
