NEWS FLASH! PlattForm is now offering its employees a whopping $200 if we happen to refer somebody that ends up landing their dream job here.

That being said, the holiday shopping season is right around the corner (ahem!).

So, since my blog tends to get a lot of hits, and Mama needs a new pair of shoes, I’m officially putting the word out: If you’re fresh out of college and looking to get into the advertising milieu, then e-mail me your resumé IMMEDIATELY, if not sooner.

No, seriously. It’s michaelm@plattformad.com. That’s michaelm@plattformad.com!

This place is filled with tons of fresh-faced newbies who are excited and eager. Newbies who have NO idea what they’re doing … yet. That’s the beauty of this ad company: we give you a chance. PlattForm gives you an opportunity to succeed and, more importantly, the chance to get your foot in the door. Plus, who better to promote the college industry than recent college grads?!

This is a company filled with a bunch of creative whackos and ingenious nutcases who thoroughly enjoy what they do. Now, when I started three years ago, I was employee #101. We’ve now tripled in size. Impressive, huh? We’re well on our way to being the third-largest ad agency in Kansas City, yet we’re still small enough to know everyone’s name around here.

Are you Webalicious? Then apply. Are you wildly visual or wildly creative? Then apply. Are you thorough and slightly left of center? Then apply. Are you an effective, efficient, yet neurotic number cruncher? Then apply. You can’t win, if you don’t play.

I’ve worked at a lot of places, and none of ‘em had the charisma and energy this place does. So if you think you’ve got what it takes and you’re ready to be the new kid on the block for about 10 minutes, then send me your resumé. I’m not writing this for my health, you know. If you get the job, lunch is on me.

So, in case you missed it the first time, it’s michaelm@plattformad.com. That’s michaelm@plattformad.com!

After you make it big, you can thank me later as “one of the little people who made this moment possible.”
