Agency Spy

Apparently there are lots of empty slots that need filling in NY agencies.

(Insert perverted response to last sentence here.)

These slots, however, are way up on the food chain. Seems like a whole lotta gigs for lifers.

Publicis needs someone to head up new business. As does Taxi.

TBWA Chiat Day, Kirshenbaum & Bond, and BBH all really need head planners pretty bad.

Merkley and JWT are both on the prowl for a CMO.

DDB Worldwide is still looking for a global chief of marketing and strategy.

Strategy and New Business seem to be the keywords here… hmm… where did all these guys go? And why the need for so many…?

People that understand (and write) blogs. People that know what the EFF is. People that can quote movies and can DJ. People that can compare sneakers with me. People that know creative is just art unless it’s put in the right context and seen by the right people. People that can admit they are wrong. People that know the difference between “its” and “it’s”. People that can beat me in Rock Band. People that have opinions. People that want to rise up-ah. People that believe they can make a difference. People that are willing to use their powers for good — not evil. People who realize that they are consumers too. People that want to be in advertising because they hate advertising. People that are english, psychology, computer science or math majors. People who know who Lee Majors is. People who can not only learn, but teach. People that can lead. And people that are probably reading this right now. Yeah. You.”

We’re sorry, but all job postings should read this way. We probably couldn’t beat Ian Schafer, author of this job posting and CEO of Deep Focus, at Rock Band, but Lee Majors? Check. People who want to be in advertising because they hate it? Check. People who can quote movies - “If you guys know so much about women, how come you’re here at like Gas ‘n Sip on a Saturday night, completely alone, drinking beers, no women anywhere?” Got it. It’s and its? Damn. Okay. Okay. We screw that up all the time, but that’s because we usually write these posts on our Sidekick and hope the intern is doing their job. Hello, intern?

Rather than post a list of requirements, Scott Goodson over at Da Frog has decided to expound on some of the issues involving hire new bodies:

“But as you add on new members to the agency, especially people from old elite agencies like BBH, Goodby or Widen, it gets a lot harder and more challenging. People bring their own experiences with them, especially if they’re good.”

“These new positions offer us the opportunity to bring into the team fresh blood, creative and strategic excellence, lust for great thinking, independence and piracy. The right candidates will find an amazing home and responsibility.”

“StrawberryFrog is led by a group of seasoned management Frogs who have young families, who have a desire to do the most innovative and amazing work out there, but not at the cost of giving up one’s family or friends. We are humans - um frogs, and everyone deserves enjoyment in their lives.”

What a sales pitch. Wordy, wordy, but the bottom line - the agency is looking to hire two senior planners. Get more information here.

2. Deep Focus - Media Planner, New York, NY

• College degree - STOP THE PRESSES… we hate to use Deep Focus to make this point, because we like the agency and everyone puts “college degree” in their ad. Look, we understand that by putting college degree as a requirement will eliminate receiving emails from many folks who are unqualified, but we know lots of very, very smart people who hold high level positions without a degree notch on their belt. We are just down on knees hoping that agencies big and small are willing to take a look at bodies without a degree from Pitt, Yale, Oberlin, U of Kentucky. Some of the best folks took the hard way around, know what we mean?

•Working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Power Point)
•Comfortable in both PC and MAC environments
•Excellent verbal and written skills
•Experience with DoubleClick programs is a plus
