Music Production
Music Publishing
Music Artist Relations
Music Video Production
Music Entertainment Broadcasting Across Multiple Platforms
Music Dissemination: TV: OTA, OTT, Cable/MSO, Satellite, Mobile, DOOH, Online, OD, OEM & Publishing Partners

The goal was to combine content and digital platform dissemination across all music genres to provide alternative assimilation that coincided with the firm’s proprietary technology and intellectual property. CAPEX was to be kept to a minimum by not utilizing traditional BO&E, affiliate distribution, and music publishing agreements. OPEX was to be minimized through proprietary technology that could consolidate costs for multichannel, multiplex, multiplatform broadcast, traffic, inventory, client services and planning for traditional and programmatic modalities.

Filcro Media Staffing’s goals for this executive search were threefold.

Monetization
Operations
Market Expansion

The president of the client company brought forward a clear vision and realistic business goals that he was able to articulate concisely. The president granted Filcro Media Staffing unusual autonomy, so his objectives could be met expeditiously.

Filcro Media Staffing’s Officer in Charge of the search proceeded with TX, GA, NC, NY and CA universe compilation to tier the search appropriately.

Eight (8) possible business organizational structures in three (3) geographics with three (3) categories for tiering were established with a total universe upon completion of six (6) finalists with three (3) on the first tier. One (1) candidate was hired as SVP and another is slated for future employment a month after the SVP was hired. National monetization, Operations, and National Market Expansion would be facilitated and expedited by hiring both executives at an accelerated pace.

The Filcro Media Staffing Recruitment Solution

Separating the strategic business leadership, broadcast and production operational experience and sales expertise into logical silos, it was apparent that NY or LA also needed to be key players for new business development while TX managed BO&E, production, post and optimized local and regional clients then managed nationals as they were introduced.

Once the final tiers were established and the firm’s “ideals” identified, assuring a cultural fit came next.

With the firm’s ecology positive and now under management that was seeking growth, it was also important the new SVP have a similar personal and professional ecology to assure continuity.

The executive search was evolving into the perfect group of scenarios for the president as early as four (4) weeks after retaining Filcro Media Staffing. In eight (8) weeks, the new SVP was identified, recruited, attracted and accepted the offer made by the firm.

During the executive search process, with Tony Filson functioning as the officer in charge, he also identified an individual that he felt could help the firm strategically. The president of the client company agreed and is seeking to hire this executive also. This executive search and the strategic advice obtained facilitated an expedited timeline to the president's business and monetization objectives.

The Talented New SVP of Sales Recruited

Filcro Media Staffing worked outward from the DFW area and ultimately, New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta and North Carolina contributed to the initial universe.

Of the two executives being hired based on this executive search, Texas and Los Angeles produced the SVP and VP respectively

The new Senior Vice President of Origination Sales and Operations was an industry veteran with exceptional, soft and hard skills. Attracted from a larger company and direct competitor in the region he earned a reputation for being innovative and building upon solid business practices. This executive turned an in-house facility servicing a national electronics retailer into the largest and most successful company of its type in the region.

The new SVP also had a reputation of building unusual esprit de corps and the president of the client company now reorganizing and optimizing the reporting structures in the company needed someone with exceptional management skills.

This Texas-based company that retained Filcro Media Staffing to conduct this executive search has exceeded every business and monetary objective planned.
