Century Interactive is Hiring a New Marketing Manager

August 31st, 2011 by Patrick Elverum

YOU are an expert at communicating important ideas to a variety of audiences.  You will take the innovative marketing services that our teams create and strengthen our brand name throughout the industry.

One day you’ll be creating an eye-catching display ad to promote our company in a trade publication, and the next day you’ll be flying to Canada to help a partner close a big deal.  One hour you’ll be sharing new ideas with our developers about how we can make our platform more useful for search engine marketers.  The next hour you’ll be leading a web presentation to train the 20 members of a partner’s sale force.  One minute you will be posting your latest article on our blog.  The next minute you will be updating the Century Twitter feed with that article.

This is a full-time, on-site position.

 

The Opportunity

We are a growing company with ambitious goals.  We’ve been following our own path since 1988, and our tight-knit team has been carefully constructed to keep us ahead of the game.  If you’re obsessed with things like organizational charts and bureaucratic mazes, this isn’t going to be the right place for you.  If you’re afraid of making decisions that matter and taking big risks, then this environment might be a bit overwhelming for you.

Are you still reading?  Good, let’s turn the tables and talk about what you *are*…

If people tell you that you’re a great speaker and a better listener, we want to meet you.  If you read marketing blogs and books in your spare time because you’re genuinely fascinated with everything that’s going on right now, we’re ready to appreciate your passion.  If you’re a self-starter who covets freedom and takes pride in the results you produce, then we need you on our team.

 

The Company

Remember those old BASF commercials?  We’re like the BASF of advertising and marketing. We don’t make the ads you see…we make the ads you see *better*.

So what exactly does that mean?  Here’s an example: a big national advertiser is going to run $1 million worth of marketing across search engines and direct mail.  Our partner company is managing the whole thing and uses our tools to maximize the spend.  We’re measuring every component of the campaign to determine which phrases convert at the highest rates, how the different waves should be timed, whether the postcard should feature a smiling kid or a comforting grandmother, what time of day the advertiser should double-staff its call center, what message the agents should be delivering when they answer the phone…you get the point.

 

Still Interested?

Good! because we think that this is a once in a lifetime, dream job for the right person.  We think our company is special, and we’re flattered that you want to learn more.  Please email us (pe@centuryinteractive.com) and tell us about YOU.  Rather than copying the same cover letter and resume you sent everyone else, we hope you’ll be bold enough to tell us what really makes you tick.  We want to hear about an experience when you took the reins and delivered a Big Win. It doesn’t matter if you were a waiter, a marketing intern, a volleyball player or the leader of a Fortune 500 company when this experience took place.  We want to see the real YOU.
