In between blog posts, I pay my bills as a consumer technology marketing consultant (the company is still unnamed, as there are simply no domains left other than consultr or mectooo.com). The clients I have are all great – great people, great products/services. Things are going well so far (knock on wood), and based on current prospects, I’m going to need a little more help pretty soon (read: immediately). Honestly, work is a true pleasure, and I consider myself extremely lucky to be in this position.
We’re looking for a one or two interns and/or junior level reps with account management experience to help with the growing list of clients. This is the perfect opportunity for you (or someone you forward this to) to interact with new and exciting consumer technology, immerse yourself into the product development process, and learn more about traditional and new media marketing techniques. Additionally, we will introduce you to industry influencers and help you grow your network.
Bottom line – this is a fun industry, and this is a chance to get involved with a lot of very exciting projects!
