About Client Services at Greenpark

We're different to traditional network agencies — independent, growing, and needing more of a commercial mindset in Client Services than many agencies require. Good Client Service here means being the drivers and lifeblood of our Client work, joining the dots across workstreams to deliver work that performs, keeps clients happy, and builds strong commercial principles. We aren't perfect, but we learn, work together, and always find a way forward. In Client Service we are:

Hands up and hands in – offering support and diving in to fix things

Radiators, not drains - we bring energy and clarity, not noise and confusion

Action and solution-oriented

Drivers not passengers

Meticulous checkers and on the detail

Sponges of information

Over-deliverers (balancing that with under-selling in appropriate measures)

Open to give our point of view and opinion

Kind, not nice: we give constructive feedback to improve others, and take the same constructive feedback to improve ourselves and the environment we work in

Thick-skinned and warm-hearted team
