Looking for a Marketing Job in NYC or SF

I’m planning to move to NYC or SF and I’m looking for a job. I’ll be in the US around August 20th, available to meet anyone.

I’m a marketer with sales experience and some technical knowledge who’s started and managed his own business

Last thing I’ve done is bootstrapping a small health care services business that I’m now selling. I started my career in sales at a hardware vendor. After that I held several marketing and sales management positions in media and telecom companies. More professional details in my Linkedin profile.

I understand small business and their advertising needs

I’ve been one. I’ve sold to many. I worked at a yellow pages company. You can criticize the product as much as you want. I will agree, it’s obsolete. But yellow pages companies still sell billions of dollars in advertising every year. They do it because they understand small business and they are great at marketing and selling that. I learned all the metrics and tactics used long ago.

I’m great at making things happen

I’ve had my own business, so I couldn’t afford not to execute ideas. This skill is the result of three characteristics I have:

-I understand people. Great at managing and organizing teams, even when they are not under my direct command or in the same continent.
-I live by the data. I believe in crunching data to make decisions and understand problems. If data doesn’t say, it doesn’t exist. Except when it does, but I’ll leave the role of intuition for another moment.
-I love tools and processes. That may sound boring and grey, but I do know that growth can only be achieved with some order. And I really think that a CRM can be fun.

I want to work in an internet company which gets or may get revenue helping small businesses to sell more

I’ve loved the internet since the moment I discovered it. It’s transforming every sector constantly and the way we do everything. I want to be part of a game changing company in which roles are redefined every day. I want to be challenged and live out of my comfort zone. I want to share an objective with the best and brightest.

I know that with my background I can be very useful to any internet company whose revenue source, present or future, is advertising in any form. Marketplaces, advertising platforms or services, review sites… in the end most services need to take into account small businesses.

Thanks to having started my own company I know what it is like to work with limited resources in survival mode. And thanks to having worked in big successful ones I know how things are done there and what can be done to compete with them.
