Success Story: How Aviral Landed His Account Executive Role in the UK

At Edge Up, we’re thrilled to celebrate the incredible success of our mentee, Aviral Rajpal, who transitioned from student to Account Executive in a competitive UK marketing agency within just 5 months of joining our career coaching program.

From Internation Student to Account Executive

Aviral came to us in November 2024 with a clear goal: to break into account management within a UK marketing agency. With a strong academic background in Journalism and PR from the University of Westminster and Chitkara University, and practical experience at News UK, Aviral had all the ingredients—but needed a strategic edge.

Strategy First: Crafting a Winning CV & Coaching for Interviews

Our journey with Aviral started by revamping his CV to reflect his real strengths—client relationship management, media strategy execution, and campaign performance tracking. With a tailored approach and consistent one-on-one coaching sessions, Aviral was prepared not just to apply, but to stand out.

Over the next few months, Aviral secured 12 interviews with marketing and PR agencies. Each one sharpened his responses, honed his commercial storytelling, and boosted his confidence in aligning client needs with creative solutions.

The Big Break: Account Executive Offer

In March 2025, Aviral landed an Account Executive role at a top UK marketing agency. The role not only aligned with his goals but gave him the ideal platform to scale his career in client servicing and campaign execution.
