AdCellerant’s award-winning Account Management team prides itself on responsiveness. For this 15-person-team, the average response time to a request from one of its 350+ partners is 30 minutes, compared to other industry benchmarks of 48 minutes. This is not easy since the number of AdCellerant partners has grown 60% since January 2019. These partners send the team over 40,000 digital advertising campaigns annually. The Account Management team is responsible for servicing these campaigns and clients and is a key part of the company’s recognition as one of Inc. Magazine’s Top 5000 Fastest-Growing Companies two years running.

Since January 2019, the AdCellerant Account Management team created more than 10,000 advertising proposals for its partners. With a 25% close rate, this resulted in a 74% year-over-year revenue growth for AdCellerant, growth shared by its partners. The judges echoed the team’s success. “AdCellerant’s team, your team is on pace. Taking care of your partner by working closely to identify key success metrics and helping them grow their revenue. Providing a personalized solution is what a partner company would look for and your team is on it,” said one judge.
