Account man is advertising industry jargon for a male account manager — the person at an agency who manages the client relationship, liaises between the client and the creative team, and ensures campaigns stay on brief and on budget. The gendered term reflects mid-20th-century ad industry norms and has largely been replaced by the gender-neutral 'account manager' or 'account executive' in modern usage.
The account man spent his Monday morning on the phone smoothing things over after the campaign launch hit a snag.
