I'm hiring
Wanted: a Head of Marketing and Communications for a mission-driven organization that supports impact investing in developing markets
Oh hello, happy day, how are you doing?
Are you ready for some more internet?
Frankly, my dear, none of us are.
And so!
Considering that fragile state of mind, this is going to be a brief update.
I’ve two things to share, and then we’re out!
#1) We’re recruiting for an executive role
The first thing—and this is the more important thing: I’m recruiting for a client who has an open position for a Head of Marketing.
Here’s my post with the job description on LinkedIn.
Please share that post.
Or, if you know somebody who might be a good fit, please get in touch (via LinkedIn or by replying to this email).
This is a great opportunity for a marketing and communications leader.
The organization is a mission-driven NGO that supports innovation and entrepreneurs and drives impact investing and environmental sustainability around the world, with a focus on regions like Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
The ideal candidate has 7-10yrs experience managing press strategy and media relations and experience managing content and content marketing, including distribution channels like newsletters, social, and web.
Have you created and managed press strategies?
Successfully run and been a mentor to marcom teams?
Managed content marketing and distribution strategies?
Managed multiple projects at once?
Let’s talk.
The role is hybrid, with a mix of in-office and out, with a heavy preference for candidates that are located in the NYC area.
Thanks for sharing with your network, I appreciate it.
And of course, if I can ever be of assistance with your team-building needs, simply reply to this email. For a glimpse at my process, take a look at the case studies for hiring a VP of Content for a major television network, and hiring a Deputy Editor for a renowned publication.
#2) We relaunched our web site
The second thing!
We’ve relaunched the official™ Delightful web site, now with substantially more Delightful.
Maybe you’ll enjoy perusing the case studies:
that time we developed the content strategy for MetLife’s app launch
that time we built and managed the content marketing engine for Article Group
that time we built and edited a men’s lifestyle publishing brand
Or, maybe you’ll enjoy reading about our fun side projects over the years, like the time I invited 100 people to a blind taste test for ribeye in Tribeca, or the time I trolled the leader of the free world by flooding his mailbox with country club memberships.
Do let me know if you run across any buttons that don’t work, grammatical errors, all that? 🤗 🤗 🤗

Please refrain from making blind introductions! If you’d like to introduce someone, please email me first to ask, and to give me some info about that person. I believe it’s always more productive to ask both parties if you can make an introduction, before actually introducing them to each other. That way, you allow both to prepare, instead of surprising them with an unannounced email visit.
