Help us fight the good fight against mediocre marketing.

Popcorn Media is a tight-knit, creative agency doing big things in digital marketing, media relations, influencer marketing, and content. We work with a wide range of clients across food, arts, retail, lifestyle, and beyond, helping their brands truly POP online and in real life.

We’re looking for an organized, curious, and proactive Account Associate to join our team.

If you're early in your marketing career, love keeping things organized, have strong instincts for what makes good marketing, and want hands-on experience across clients, campaigns, content, social media, influencers, PR, and digital marketing, this could be the role for you.

About the Role

As an Account Associate at Popcorn, you’ll work closely with our Account Executives, Account Managers, and Directors to help keep client accounts and campaigns moving.

You’ll be involved in everything from preparing client reports and coordinating campaign deliverables to writing content, conducting research, managing social channels, working with creators, and supporting campaign launches.

You won’t be expected to independently lead client accounts from day one. Instead, this role is designed to give you exposure to the full account-management process while gradually taking ownership of projects and client interactions as you develop.

For someone who demonstrates strong execution, communication, judgment, and initiative, the natural next step is progression into an Account Executive role.

This is a hybrid role with in-office days in our Yaletown office.
