I find myself looking for a new role in agency / production company biz dev. I co-founded a creative production agency back in 2010. Grew it to a staff of 80 FTE, creating strategic content-driven campaigns for brands, tv networks, streamers, platforms, publishers etc. We developed and produced original TV as well. Around 2016 we positioned the company for sale and then sold in Jan 2019. After going over to the acquirer in 2020, I’m now free for the first time in a long time. What to do?

Man that’s quite a list of credentials. Ever think of consulting? Working with smaller agencies on developing biz dev pipelines? Just a thought.

I’m not sure on how they charge. My guess would be some initial fee and a percentage of growth in year one or something.

Ugh… moved to industry recently and referenced my nanny in a meeting with some more junior people without kids or with stay at home spouses. Now they keep making kind of sarcastic comments referring back to my nanny comment. Sorry, I’m not sorry that i need (and can afford) a nanny to help with three young kids when both my husband and I work! Just venting… sadly I think the takeaway is not to even tell people if you have a nanny.

Fishies, I am hiring a partner in crime to help me introduce PETERMAYER to the national stage. This isn't your typical biz dev role - it's designed to be a hybrid/cross-discipline role for someone who wants to use their full creative, strategic brain and most definitely NOT stay in their lane. Know anyone that sounds like that, send them my way! (Agency is full-time flex/hybrid, but a desire to be NOLA-based is strongly preferred; however remote may be negotiable.)
