Account Executive - Sampling, Activations & Campaigns

This Isn’t Just Another Account Executive Gig

You're the person clients call when things go sideways — and you fix it.

But you’re also the keen eye that catches the issues before they arise.
The missing product. The incorrect label. The activation pack that slipped through without a final check.

You understand the vital details that foster trust and keep clients returning for more.

At CHILL, we skip the fluff. We bring campaigns to life — quickly, energetically, and with unstoppable momentum.
From brand activations and sampling initiatives to creative logistics and post-event evaluations, we’re the dedicated team working behind the scenes to ensure everything shines.

It might not always be glamorous — there’s freight management, inventory audits, field teams, and unexpected challenges, but! When it comes together?

It truly comes together. Campaigns executed. Clients delighted. #momentsthatmatter—that resonate.

Examples include handling eBay's 21st birthday and delivering 759 Messina mushroom cakes across the country, as well as launching new products to market and into the hands of consumers, such as Little Moons mochi balls in Australia.
