west coast headhunter wanted

image12345707.jpg
I’m in the mar­ket for a West Coast headhun­ter, some­body used to dea­ling with adver­ti­sing and mar­ke­ting crea­ti­ves like myself.
I want to start spen­ding more time on West Coast, hel­ping high tech and next-generation busi­nes­ses, ad agen­cies etc with my whole Hugh­train sch­tick.
The West Coast has been calling me for a while. Ready to make a move.
If you know any­body, please pass this page/link to them. Thanks.
Feel free to e-mail me here: hugh at gaping­void etc.

    Ahh, these mar­ke­ting visio­na­ries… so fic­kle.
    Hugh, you think the West Coast will buy (and buy and buy) “The Vision Thing” more than the narrow-minded UK/European crowd who like things when they work for now to work fore­ver?
    Get that moti­va­tio­nal crowd-pleasing per­for­mance tuned up — blogs ain’t gonna do it on the chat chat chat­ter TV circuit.

  4. Don’t want to burst any bub­bles — but mar­ke­ting and adver­ti­sing on the West coast ain’t all that cut­ting edge either. I think the cut­ting edge is hap­pe­ning in dif­fe­rent poc­kets dis­tri­bu­ted all over the world and via the Net you find you aren’t alone. Early stage star­tups are up for more expe­ri­men­tal stuff but rarely use headhun­ters, everything runs on trust net­works, i.e. social net­works out here.

    It’s OK, Evelyn, just plan­ting seeds ;-)
    I got a cou­ple of pro­jects over there I’m wor­king on already…
    But if there are any headhun­ters out there, I wouldn’t mind tal­king to them. A man’s gotta eat.

    When you get to the west coast, pitch the TV guys a cor­po­rate makeo­ver show.
    Tra­vel in a techno bus.
    Hawk your books.
    TV needs the Hugh­train Mani­festo and you.
