There is no such thing as a typical day as the job also involves a lot of traveling to the regions we represent, but on average when I am in the office, a typical day would be internal meetings to ensure all campaigns are running smoothly and allied with clients needs and also essential to speak with our clients and ensure they are happy with how their campaign is running on the network.
