What If Game of Thrones Characters Were Agency Account Managers?

Imagine stepping into the chaotic world of advertising, where rival agencies battle for dominance, client pitches are akin to war councils, and Account Managers must navigate the battlefield of tight deadlines, difficult clients, and unexpected betrayals. Now, picture the characters of Game of Thrones running these agencies. From Daenerys Targaryen as the fiery Business Development Manager to Tyrion Lannister as the ultimate Account Manager, the marketing world just got a whole lot more cutthroat.

Daenerys Targaryen: The Business Development Queen

Daenerys is the Business Development Manager who walks into client meetings with the confidence of someone who has never lost a pitch (or at least won’t admit it). She’s got a killer vision: market domination, absolute industry disruption, and a promise to break the outdated agency model. Prospective clients are drawn to her charisma and big promises, but execution? That’s for the Account Managers to figure out.

Her biggest strength? Relentless ambition. Her biggest weakness? The tendency to burn bridges (sometimes literally). She sells clients on long-term loyalty, but her impatience often pushes the team to the brink. When she doesn’t get her way? Expect an all-staff meeting filled with dramatic speeches about destiny and a hostile takeover strategy that makes competitors nervous.

Tyrion Lannister: The Wise (and Overworked) Account Manager

Tyrion, Daenerys’s Hand of the Queen and Senior Account Manager, is the guy making things work behind the scenes. He’s got a gift for managing expectations, smoothing over disastrous client calls, and delivering post-mortems filled with dry wit and brutal honesty. His emails are legendary, equal parts strategic genius and sarcasm-laced reality checks.

When Daenerys overpromises, Tyrion is left scrambling with the team, working late into the night (with a goblet of wine, of course) to salvage client relationships. He’s the one ensuring the agency doesn’t lose its biggest accounts, constantly reminding leadership that budgets exist and that they cannot take on another pro bono project just because “it’s the right thing to do.”

The Rival Agencies: Lannister PR, Stark & Co., and Greyjoy Media

The agency world is a battlefield, and House Targaryen isn’t the only player.

• Lannister PR (led by Cersei Lannister) is a cutthroat operation specializing in crisis management, reputation control, and aggressive takeovers. Their strategy? High retainers, ironclad NDAs, and a ruthless approach to securing exclusive contracts. You don’t leave Lannister PR—you either stay forever or get completely blacklisted from the industry.

• Stark & Co. is the ethical, people-first agency that prides itself on quality over speed. They’re honorable to a fault, but their slow-moving nature means they lose out on fast-paced clients. Their motto? “The project is coming.” Clients love their work, but competitors know they’re easy to undercut. Their Account Executives are constantly overwhelmed (poor Jon Snow), but they never compromise on integrity.

• Greyjoy Media is the wildcard boutique agency that keeps stealing talent from other firms. Their onboarding process? Brutal. Their leadership? Questionable. They’ll offer you a big title and even bigger responsibilities, but the burnout rate is legendary. Their company culture revolves around high-risk, high-reward, and they never turn down a bold campaign idea (even if it’s disastrous). Their motto? “What is dead may never die… but your career might.”

  
  

The Office Drama: Chaos in the Agency War Room

Inside the Targaryen Agency, chaos reigns.

• Jon Snow (Account Executive) is drowning in client revisions and struggling to keep up with unrealistic deadlines. He’s great at leading projects but keeps getting pulled into side battles.

• Arya Stark (Client Strategist) is ready to cut underperforming vendors and inefficient workflows, constantly looking for ways to streamline operations.

• Jorah Mormont (the persistent old-school Account Director) is still trying to win back lost clients, despite being ghosted for years.

• Bran Stark (the mysterious Consultant) somehow already knows what the client wants before they do, creeping everyone out in the process.

Meanwhile, Tyrion is just trying to keep the agency afloat. Every week brings another challenge: clients changing their entire brand direction last minute, rival agencies poaching employees, and leadership (ahem, Daenerys) making promises that don’t align with reality. The only thing keeping him going? Happy hour.

Conclusion: Would This Agency Survive?

The answer? Probably… if Tyrion can keep Daenerys from launching one too many aggressive campaigns (or setting fire to competitors). The advertising world is brutal, and while House Targaryen is powerful, Lannister PR is lurking in the shadows, waiting for the moment to strike. Meanwhile, Stark & Co. is sticking to their principles, and Greyjoy Media is ready to poach any burnt-out employees.

At the end of the day, it’s just another day in the world of Agency Thrones, where you win the pitch or you lose the client.
