I'm working with a small business located in St Louis that is looking for a marketing whiz to take their substantial competitive advantages and turn them into new business leads.
This 10 person company is run by an entrepreneur, and has seen steady growth for the last five years, with positive cash flow, a well run operation, and a reputation for service and quality.
The company sells a high-end design product that retails in the $20-$25,000 range. The company currently only uses Yellow Pages and Direct Mail, although they have used multiple marketing packages in the past. Your monthly marketing budget is $15-20,000.
This is an internal position at the home offices in South County. The office is moving to a more central location in the next year (they're looking), and remote work is possible.
You need 5 years of broad-based marketing experience with small businesses, selling a high-end luxury product or design services. Experience with direct mail, media buying, online marketing, and copywriting is essential. Your creative and web design services are taken care of, which leaves you responsible for vision, strategy, tactics, and execution.
You must be a result-oriented marketer with the ability to explain what you're doing without marketing speak. I'd say detail oriented, but you're the type of person who labels their sock drawer, so asking you to document what you're doing shouldn't be that hard.
And if you can't forecast and track the ROI of your program, then you probably shouldn't be in marketing anyway.
If you're interested and want to hear the salary range, send an e-mail titled Design Marketer to socialmediaheadhunter@gmail.com with a description of your experience marketing high-end products to the consumer.
