The Bro Gets Hired! Twice!
No not by this guy. (Sorry for the “B” clips folks, this blog don’t exactly pay enough to get you the “A” listers.) But I have been hired by one of the world’s leading media and entertainment companies in the development, production, and marketing of entertainment, news, and information to a global audience. That’s right! The big time! None other than GOLD.. COUNTRY.. MEDIA!!! GCM owns a cluster of publications that are distributed to Sacramento and it’s neighboring communities. I have just been hired on as their new Online Sales Manager for the entire cluster. What does that mean? It means that I will be in charge of developing, growing, and creating selling opportunities for all of GCM’s online sites. And with GCM being a part of the larger Brehm Communications, my plan is to grow this position to where I am in charge of all of the online communities for the entire corporation. Shouldn’t take more than a week or two, right?
Oh and I also was just sent a couple of contracts to work for some smaller company known as NBC Universal. No big deal. Has anyone even ever heard of these guys?
Moving on, this is a good time to talk about—
Okay okay, back to the NBC gig. Actually, I’m going to be freelance writing for one of their online magazines, iVillage.com. Now it’s true, iVillage is a website geared towards women. Ironical ain’t it that a guy who calls himself The Bro would end up writing for a women’s site? Well you see that was the beauty of my plan. I pitched my services as giving them “the guy’s point of view”. And they bought it. Literally.
Suffice to say that with all of the interviewing, pitching, offer letters, contract signing, telephone calls, etc. I have had very little time to devote to the blog. Oh, and there’s this little thing called “having a six month old” that has also eaten up some time. Having said that, I do have plans for the site, and they mostly include posting on a daily basis (hopefully more than that). The 9 of you that actually come here on a regular basis should be happy about that.
You can all look forward to me continuing to post my thoughts, ideas, funny quips, mailbags, year-old movie reviews, pick’s of the week, and just about anything I deem worthy of posting.
Oh yeah, and I’ll probably link to anything I end up publishing on other sites as well. Starting with my iVillage stuff. My hope is to add a few other online gigs as well. (You hear that comedy.com? hint hint!!)
(That’s right, I’m not above shamelessly promoting myself…)
