Digital media & marketing

< Return to Industry Specializations Index

Overview

Traditional media is dead. 

Okay, that’s an overstatement, but to marketing and media folks it reflects the great changes happening in their industry.  As traditional marketing and media firms continue their march into the new digital media world, Accolo’s core expertise in the digital media and marketing industry has enabled us to bring some much-needed expertise to the recruiting of new media professionals. 

And because we can support all of a company’s internal hiring needs, we’ve been able to build a knowledge base and network in some of the more traditional product marketing, copywriting and editing functions as well as the emerging digital media professions.  Whether your company is focused on leading-edge flash engineering, staffing up an editorial department or building a new web analytics team, Accolo can deliver a recruiting department that meets your unique challenges.

Solutions

“Hiring in the media, marketing and advertising sectors is different—how successful have you been in our market?”

In 2007, 45% of our hires were for media, marketing and advertising clients.  While we would never claim to be a “silver bullet” solution, we have an established track record and hard data that shows we are among the most effective and efficient resources to hiring great people. 

“Our hiring needs are sporadic and differ across departments in our company.  How can we hire a Flash Engineer one month and a Copywriter the next?”

Because we serve as the primary internal recruiting function for most of our clients, we have experience in almost every major job function.  For Accolo to be scalable and meet your needs, we’ve structured ourselves to be agile and adaptable for a wide range of job functions, levels and industries.  When clients have a job where we do not have a track record, our process and technology allow us to quickly build expertise and develop a network.  For companies with diversified needs and an unpredictable hiring schedule, our On Demand service model allows you to engage us when you need a job filled, but requires very little fixed overhead between hires.

“We need an internal recruiting function that understands our company personality and culture.”

Accolo’s Enterprise delivery model gives your company the best of both worlds—a recruiting team that works on site for you, but brings a wealth of outside resources with it.  Our Hiring Consultants work at your office, eating your food on Bagel Fridays and drinking your refreshments at company happy hours.  They have your phone extensions, email addresses, and when Tuesday is declared Hawaiian Shirt Day, they will wear their Tommy Bahamas.  They also bring the full resources of Accolo—the expertise of our client services team, proprietary technology, international Career Network and all of the resources and vendors they need to get the job done.
