\nBut it is fun, mostly, maybe.<\/p>\n

\nIf a marketing firm were characters of a chick flick, the client servicing would be the frenemy
\nwho you eventually warm up to. Keeping the copy and design be on their toes, sometimes
\neven literally. The client servicing is the backbone of a Digital Marketing Agency.<\/p>\n
For those who are wondering, what Client Servicing(CS) does? We are the line of
\ncommunication between the clients and the creative team. Sounds easy enough, right?
\nWhat could go right between communicating between the client and the creatives?
\nThere are small mistakes, like spelling errors that go unchecked or larger errors like when you
\npromised the customers that the dinosaurs at your amusement park would be tame and instead they got eaten
\nalive (perhaps, if Jurassic park had invested in a good CS team, they would all still be
\nalive). The CS covers all of this and then some.<\/p>\n

\nBut it’s not all bad. Because of our close relationship with the clients, more often than not,
\nwe receive most of the job perks, often including free pizza, drinks and other fun
\ngoodies.<\/p>\n
So, is CS for you? Here’s a bunch of character traits that could help you decide whether or
\nnot CS is your big gig:
\n– Great communication skills: Now this one is an obvious trait, and speaks for itself.
\n– Having an open mind: Ideas from the client and the creative will keep changing and
\nmay not be exactly what you expected, but that doesn’t always mean it won’t work.
\nBeing open to new ideas helps both the client and creative work around it
\nand keep the content fresh.
\n– Have great problem solving abilities: What often happens is that clients may not be able to clearly explain what they need, it’s up to the CS to understand what they want and how to execute it.
\n– Be great at thinking on your feet: Being able to come up with solutions in short periods of time is
\nessential for a good CS. But this point could also hold for great dancing skills, which
\nhonestly, doesn’t hurt your chances of being good at CS.<\/p>\n

\nIf you think you got these traits down, you should probably consider trying out for a CS role.
\nAnd don’t worry, the next time you tell people who want to do CS they’ll be cool with it, mostly
\nbecause they’ll all assume you are talking about computer science instead.<\/p>\n
