The reason I will eventually look for a new job is 1) I want to work on a different account and 2) I want to gain experience within a specific job function. Currently, my agency's office in my city is pretty small and we only have a few different accounts. If there's no openings on any of those accounts and want to work on something new, you're kind of SOL and would have to look for a new job.
My plan is to talk to my superiors and tell them that I'm interested in growing by moving a new account and gaining experience in that particular job function, which is the truth. If they can't accommodate that, then it's time to move else where. I think it's a fair balance of "coming to them" with my concerns, yet keeping it quiet that I'm interviewing.

You can more or less use "resigning" and "giving notice" interchangeably. Sometimes, people give more or less than two weeks, though, obviously.
What you are proposing is exactly what you should do. In theory, your managers should be interested in your job satisfaction and want to create a viable career path for you to the best of their abilities. If you are asking for something for which they don't see you as a good fit, they should give concrete examples of things you could do to get to that point.
Sometimes, though, no matter how valued you are, their hands are tied, and you have no choice but to look elsewhere. You will know when that happens, and there is no point in telling your managers that you are looking, because there is nothing they would be able to do about it.
