The
Howard-Sloan-Koller Team:
"We
never forget we're in the people business!"
The HSK team is made up of 25 industry professionals,
all dedicated to meeting your recruitment and career development needs.
Editorial & Content Division
"Our twelve-year-old Editorial
and Content Division recruits editors, writers, production and design talent,
at all levels, for all print publishing and new media environments. Our clients
include publishers of magazines, newsletters, books, and newspapers nationwide,
as well as electronic information providers and multi-media products.
Similarly, our enormous database includes editors and writers, art directors,
designers and production managers from each of these arenas. The subjects run
the gamut from computers to healthcare, to fashion to beauty to business; the
list is endless.
What
sets us apart from other firms? Our recruiters have been in the trenches of an
editorial environment. We have first-hand knowledge of what it takes to put out
a quality product. We have assigned stories, written headlines, launched
magazines, worked with designers, and done press checks (and, now, we have
built a web site!). We like to think this makes us uniquely qualified to
counsel and assist both sides - candidate and client - in their employment
decisions.
If
you are in need of editorial or creative talent, please contact me or one of my
associates. Also, if you are interested in advancing your career, send us your
resume and accomplishments so that we can call you with appropriate
opportunities. All with the utmost of confidentiality."

Media Sales,
Publishing & New Media Sales Division
"Throughout
the media industry, The Howard-Sloan-Koller Group is known for its expertise at
finding the very best people for positions in media sales, including all forms
of print publishing, nontraditional media, and new media, as well as marketing
and sales promotion. The recent growth in the new media area has been so
explosive that in the sales arena alone, internet, interactive and online
companies comprise at least 50% of our client base.
We are often charged with putting
entire sales organizations in place, from top to bottom, providing counsel on
structure, job titles and responsibilities. Given the major push on the part of
these companies to build revenue, they rely on our expertise and 40-year track
record to grow their businesses. Part of our success comes from the breadth of
our approach -- working closely with our colleagues who come to new media from
other disciplines, such as technology or content.
Like my colleagues at The
Howard-Sloan-Koller Group, my background prior to joining the company five
years ago encompasses the areas of business that we serve. Five years in
advertising agency account management, plus eight years as Advertising Manager
for an international trade magazine, enable me to fully understand the needs of
our clients and candidates.
I invite you to call me for a
confidential discussion of your recruitment needs or, if considering a career
move yourself, to find out about the job opportunities we're currently working
on

Circulation,
Consumer Marketing; Business Management Division
"Paid subscribers, click-throughs,
ratebase management, single-copy sell-through ... the buzz words of circulation
management are what can make or break a publishing or new media organization
today. Especially when they're key ingredients in a bottom line-oriented -- and
strategic -- business plan. That's why searches for circulation directors,
renewal managers, GMs, and CFOs are a greater part of the HSK Group's volume of
searches than ever before. While always a part of our business, the growing
need for these business side publishing executives keeps us thoroughly
up-to-date on the best players and winning strategies within circulation,
consumer marketing, and business management.
With
over 15 years of experience on both the creative and business sides of
publishing, I know first-hand what qualities to look for in assessing talent.
As the founder of a newsletters company prior to my arrival at HSK, I
understand what drives revenue and what it takes to build subscriptions,
retention, and back-end fulfillment systems. Additionally, knowledge of
business operations gained through my MBA enables me to ask candidates tough
questions to test their business acumen.
I
have recently completed searches for Primedia, Time Inc Health, and Business
Week Online. I encourage you to contact me to discuss how HSK can help you
advance your career, or, as a prospective client, how we can help you identify
that hard-to-find consumer marketing or business professional."
