Job Alert - Marketing Director, TV New Release for the Franchise- Marketing department Warner Brothers Home Entertainment

Whether you’re heading home from the Upfronts or going to a PROMAX event or just heading to spend a long weekend at a spa, you need to use LugLess. No muss, no fuss with the luggage. Bout time.

Think About This:  “Open your heart and be yourself. You are never more vibrant than when you are vulnerable, never more genuine than when you are humble, never more trustworthy than when you are completely open."  ~ Aman Motwane

Imagine you have a fabulous house right on the bay in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. Now imagine you have to commute 68 miles or more away from said house. Yep, that drive gets old fast. Let’s not even throw in the cost of gasoline. PAULA HERSH is going to give up her commute come June 1 when she joins the government cable channel out of Newport News. Ms. Paula will be saying goodbye to her slot as Marketing Director of WWBT/NBC and WUPV/CW in Richmond, VA. She’s been there for 13 years and saying aloha is tough, but that house on the water, not to mention more time with her hubby, is very enticing. Paula has spent all her promo career time in Richmond, working for radio’s WRXL and then Continental Cablevision. She did head to Orlando and the Golf Channel, but the Syracuse grad is a Virginia lady for sure. May all your sunrises and seafood be spectacular, Paula. Well Dunne!

Think About This: “The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunshine, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls.” ~ John Muir

EMILY BARR is the new head of Post Newsweek group, and the lovely Ms. Barr has a promo background. Yes indeed, from promo writer producer at WJLA and KHOU to heading up a station ownership group – with station and general manager slots along the way. Very impressive. Well Dunne! Emily.

Tucson has gorgeous vistas, great shopping, super spas and saguaro cacti, among other things. But it won’t have the delightful LEC COBLE much longer. Lec is leaving his Director of Marketing slot at CBS affil KOLD to take a corporate job with Raycom. That means decamping the Sonoran Desert and heading to his new office in Montgomery, Alabama. His new title will be Corporate Director of Marketing and he’ll be working with VP of of Raycom Media Marketing, ANNE ADKINS. Lec is a North Carolina guy and worked for Capital Broadcasting in Raleigh. Montgomery isn’t NC, but it is closer to family. The change goes down sometime after he helps find his own replacement at the combo on Tucson.  Lec and his lovely wife will have to find great Mexican food in Montgomery, which sounds like a delicious adventure. So happy to hear about the great promotion, Lec. Well Dunne!

Think About This: "It is better to be disliked for who you are than to be liked for who you are not. How much easier to be authentic than to pretend to be someone you are not. What a relief just to be. How clear and simple. How honest. How real. The only thing you really have to share with anyone, anyway, is your own state of being." ~ Judith Ann Parsons

Sometimes, you just know that a person is the right fit for your creative team. Such was the case when CHRIS WOLF, Director of Programming and Creative Services at Charlotte’s WJZY, met MELVIN NIX. Chris was on the hunt for a creative services producer and artist for the CW station in the Queen City. Melvin fit the bill instantly (well, 5 minutes or so) and is a Charlottean to boot. Schooled at the DAVE School at Universal Orlando. DAVE stands for Digital Animation and Visual Effects. Pretty cool. Melvin has done work for sports broadcasts and all kinds of cutting edge graphics places. Needless to say, this is a happy ending. Well Dunne! Melvin.

Job Alert – Senior Director of Marketing at ESPN. NYC

Think About This: “Laugh, even when you feel too sick or too worn out or tired.  Smile, even when you’re trying not to cry and the tears are blurring your vision.  Sing, even when people stare at you and tell you your voice is crappy.  Trust, even when your heart begs you not to.  Twirl, even when your mind makes no sense of what you see.  Frolick, even when you are made fun of. Kiss, even when others are watching. Sleep, even when you’re afraid of what the dreams might bring.
Run, even when it feels like you can’t run any more.  And, always, remember, even when the memories pinch your heart. Because the pain of all your experience is what makes you the person you are now. And without your experience—you are an empty page, a blank notebook, a missing lyric. What makes you brave is your willingness to live through your terrible life and hold your head up high the next day. So don’t live life in fear. Because you are stronger now, after all the crap has happened, than you ever were back before it started.”  ~ Alysha Speer

For those TV historians amongst you….they are tearing down the old KCOP TV offices. Yep, the ones in Hollywood on La Brea.  Pretty cool history on it here. 

If you see Well Dunne! Talent’s SHELLEY DUFFY in her post-Hawaii fashion duds, know that Hawaii Withdrawal can be cured with a lot of fresh flowers, sushi, a pineapple drink with an umbrella in it and some tunes from Mountain Apple Records!

Many of you are extraordinary bosses and also work for extraordinary bosses. Here’s a Must Read for everybody on how to be extraordinary. http://www.inc.com/geoffrey-james/8-core-beliefs-of-extraordinary-bosses.html

Think About This:  "Many people spend a great deal of time complaining about the government, their parents, and the sorry state of affairs in the world, but in doing so they forget that we are the miracle. They blame God for the suffering that surrounds us saying, ‘How could a loving God allow such things to happen?’ They behave like slaves who blame an overseer, forgetting that free will has given them the responsibility, so that the deeper issue has nothing do with God or the government but rather with the fundamental shift that must occur in the human heart if peace is to become a reality. We think of responsibility as a burdensome obligation when in fact it is a gift." ~ Darren John Main

"I’ve been thinking," he said, "I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone."    ~  "The Wise Woman’s Stone"   Author Unknown

WXIN/WTTV Indianapolis is looking for an On-Air Promotion Coordinator. Starts immediately. Here’s the skinny:

Promo Coordinator Needed   Fox59 and Indiana’s 4 are looking for a promotion coordinator to fill logs and Fox and CW promos on a daily basis.  Preferred candidates will be familiar with Wide Orbit and Final Cut.

Job Description:   The WXIN/WTTV promotion coordinator’s role spans two areas of on-air promo spots and messages using the Wide Orbit traffic system for WTTV, WXIN, THIS-TV and ANTENNA-TV.  In addition, the promotional coordinator will tag select Fox and CW network episodic promos using Final Cut Pro.  Additional responsibilities include management and tracking of PSAs for both stations, and the creation of various reports for station management.  Other duties as assigned by supervisor. 

Qualifications Necessary:  Working knowledge of either/both Wide Orbit and Final Cut preferred.  High levels of organization skills and attention to detail a must.  1-3 years of cable/broadcast/media experience encouraged, but not required.

Send resume and cover letter stating position desired and referral source to Human Resources, WXIN, 6910 Network Place, Indianapolis, IN 46278.  EOE.

Think About This: “Substitute ‘damn’ every time you’re inclined to write ‘very;’ your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.” ~ Mark Twain

1 BE SPECIFIC ABOUT EXPECTATIONS

Think about what you want and then, think about what you need. Everybody wants a young Spielberg, but be reasonable. You might have to walk down your original specifics, especially if the producer slot opening will have a station-wide impact. Be specific and upfront. The candidates read job descriptions closely. An accurate picture of what you need will attract people who can do the job you describe.

“Target your most pressing need,” advises WNCN Creative Services Director STEVE PATRICK.  “Right off the bat, narrow your search to the candidates who can fill that need.  Then hire the one with the best attitude. Attitude trumps all.” 

2 NETWORK

Ask fellow promo people if they know of anyone available. Your buddy in Fresno might have heard about someone that would be ideal for your opening on the east coast. Email and then phone (yes, the phone). It would be great if the right candidate just showed up on your doorstep in response to ads, but take a more proactive stance. Producers are hard to find and a little work will pay off in the end.

3 SOCIAL NETWORK

LinkedIn is perhaps the best social network site for finding a pro. If you aren’t on LinkedIn yet, you’re missing out.

JEFF FUNK, Creative Director, Innovation and Imagination at WGNO and NOLA38 states, “In this stage of the game, if you aren’t on LinkedIn, it’s a red flag to me. Like life, everything evolves. The marriage of social media and traditional media is the perfect example. LinkedIn is not only the largest electronic rolodex online, but also a valuable source of opportunity and creativity. Active participation in sites like LinkedIn and Slideshare not only highlights one’s ability to network on different levels regardless of industry, but it showcases one’s ability to actively push their own personal brands forward. There’s something to be said for engagers!”

4 PRODUCERS NETWORK

Producers know other producers. Ask your team if they can help. See NETWORK above.

5 LOOK INWARD

“Grow your own,” advises 602 Communications’ GREG DERKOWSKI, himself a former CSD who has found himself in need of creative talent. “When you have someone on staff who you know — their work ethic, attitude, ambition, attendance, curiosity to learn more and contribute more — and that person shows a sincere interest in getting in the promotion game and has a good foundation to build on, that may be the way to go. Plenty of stations are doing this. And it’s a great reward for employees and it speaks well of your company when you promote from within.”

Corporate matching funds might be available to train your nearly-perfect pick. Or offer to pick up the tab for outside classes.  

6 OFFER A CONTRACT

 “If you find someone good, and train them to be just the way you want, then don’t let them go anywhere. Sign them to a personal services contract so that all that time, training and mentoring doesn’t go across the street and work against you,” advises KKTV Brand Manager PAUL GREELEY. 

7 SOMEONE ALREADY IN TRAINING

Media savvy students are everywhere. Check out the colleges, universities, art schools, and performing arts academies in the area. What can begin as an enthusiastic intern can turn into an amazing find.

8 THE HR CONNECTION

HR people are as busy as promo people, so don’t expect them to focus on your opening alone. Every ownership group has their own procedures, so work with HR to help move the process along. Suggest to them a simple software program generating an email thanking candidates for contacting you (which should be mandatory). Your IT guy can make it happen for you. 

9 MAKE THE HIRING PROCESS PERSONAL

By and large, communication is not happening in the communication business when it comes to the hiring process. Producers, communicators at heart, feel rejected if their emails, submissions or phone calls aren’t acknowledged. Take a moment and, let’s reiterate, at the least, send a return email thanking them for sending their info. It doesn’t take much time and makes a world of difference to the candidates. 

10 LOCK DOWN  YOUR CHOICE FAST

Several CSD’s are still smarting from going through the hiring process and losing their choice at the last minute – the choice took another job. Don’t let things drag out. Clear the hurdles and make sure your paperwork is all done before you even run an ad.

Think About This: "An amazing thing happens when we slow down. We start to get flashes of inspiration. We reach a new level of understanding and even wisdom. In a quiet moment we can get an intuitive insight that can change our entire life and the lives of the people around us in incredibly positive ways. And those changes can last a lifetime. Living more simply will make it possible to create those quiet moments. Out of those quiet moments miracles happen. Be open to them.” ~  Elaine St. James

RATANA T, Well Dunne!’s Disney-perfect voice, is in Machu Picchu and that is the coolest thing! She totally agrees.

Love Netflix (most of the time) and HBO GO, etc? Wouldn’t it be great if you could actually see your favorite movies on the Big Screen at a theatre? No needing to be a mogul in LA…you can do it thanks to Tugg. Details here.

Think About This: "If we truly believed that love is eternal, we would heal our relationships rather than kill the perceived enemy. We would eliminate the desire to attack ourselves or anyone else when difficult issues surface. We would understand that unless we heal through love, the same problems will keep reemerging."  ~ Aeeshah Ababio-Clottey & Kokomon Clottey
