Three jobs in different cities

Once every 2-3 months I'm approached by either an in-house or external ad agency recruiter. I let them know I'm not interested in full time roles, but that I'm open to providing interim, fixed term support. "Nah" is always the answer. It's not uncommon for the same recruiters to come back to me months later, about the same roles that they HAVEN'T filled. So shortsighted. I know 1/ that their clients are pissed about the talent gap 2/ that they can charge a higher rate for fractional services 3/ that they choose to fear change. www.imagination.cafe #fractional #brandconsulting

Check out these openings below and then send me a message to find out how I can help get you there!

HIRING ALERT: We've focused a lot over the past 8 years at Barrett Media on covering the sports and news media industry through a mixture of daily industry news, expert opinions, and conversations with broadcasting professionals. It's helped us create an online community for media folks, and bring together the industry through our sports and news media conferences. Our crew has grown from one (me) to now twenty-four contributors including six full-timers. Having great consulting clients and advertising partners has made this possible. We're still very much a small business, but we grind daily to help, challenge, and promote the media industry. Having said that, finding people who love to write about the media business, can do it consistently, have passion for it, and know the issues facing folks on the inside isn't easy. You've had to work in radio, TV, sales, digital, etc. to tell these stories properly, and it doesn't matter if you've worked in sports, news, music, tech, marketing, podcasting, etc. However, talking on the radio or TV or selling ads or programming a brand is different than staring at a blank screen, and creating a compelling news story, feature or column. I say this because I'm working on a few things to make our brand even stronger. I'm going to be adding in a few new areas soon, and would love to hear from broadcast professionals who have an interest in covering, and writing about the business. A simple email with your resume and writing sample works. Just reach out to JBarrett@sportsradiopd.com and if there's a fit, I'll follow up. Thanks in advance for your interest! #Broadcast #Broadcasting #Radio #TV #Television #Marketing #Sales #Sports #News #Music #Media #Jobs #Business #Digital

🚩Remember: A Creative Director is hired to DIRECT the creative. The title is the job description. If you’re being thrown “idunnos”w/ no compass that’s called a vague director. And the only traction you’ll get is spinning wheels.

Do you need an agent or a publicist/promoter? In short, agents get you work (take a percentage of what you earn) while publicists get you exposure, coverage & build names (fee based). Agents work alongside publicists & hire them to assist with various types of promotion. For most, their expertise is bookings & not PR. Agents prefer to work with those that are backed by a publicity team over those without one, especially in these days of competition.
