Contrast the role of the account planner with those of the creative team and the account executives.

The account planner uses research to represent the consumer's point of view in the debate between the agency's creative team and the client and encourages ads that are creative, interesting, relevant and on-target. The creative team is made of copywriters, art directors, and a creative director. They produce creative content and work with the account planner to translate their findings into imaginative, successful campaigns. Account executives manage accounts and report to supervisors. Not attached to either account management or creative, the account planner balances both elements to make sure the research is reflected in the ads. They study consumers to know what they really think.
