Seeking/looking to hire: marketing/publicist/promotion/etc. - a job post by Paul Howard

About the job

I am hoping to get some help (or at least some leads) from my AMAZING Stage 32 network, once again! I have conveniently included a quick “blurb” below of what I am seeking, then if you are a candidate or can help or want more info, check out the FURTHER INFORMATION for more details. Please don’t hesitate to message me back if interested and can help or if you have questions or clarifications. I also appreciate leads, so if you know someone, don’t hesitate to pass this along to them or re post to your networks!
Thanks in advance!!

IN A COUPLE OF SENTENCES:
I am looking for a professional who can help PROMOTE my projects, films, brand, etc and ultimately myself. I am NOT looking for someone who can get me more hits on YouTube or likes on Facebook (I get offers for that all the time). This is not about social media popularity for me (although I am not saying this will be ignored), it’s also not about numbers for numbers sake. This is about getting the RIGHT eyes on my content and hopefully building from there. Think of this as more about MARKETING then just random “promotion”. A career of respect, influence, and longevity. Not just a quick buck, or easy answer. Quality not Quantity. Marketing, not just Promoting.

FURTHER INFORMATION:
I’m willing to be patient but feel like this is a good place to search, here on Stage 32. As already stated, I am not just looking for someone to “get me numbers.” To be honest, that is ultimately fairly irrelevant to me. Plus I’ve personally already done that. I have multiple large networks across multiple sites that I’ve worked hard for. I have multiple fan pages, a personal website (www.GetPaulHoward.com), a YouTube channel (www.YouTube.com/GetPaulHoward), Pinterest, Instagram, Tumblr, etc! I have a personal blog I keep fairly active. I’ve also successfully reached my goal on a kickstarter campaign and I released 3 films in 2013 (I currently have over 12,500 views on my YouTube videos). I’ve also held multiple contests over the years, with great prizes that helped promote my films and bring awareness to them all the while involving my audience on a very specific, interactive level.
I am good at social media and understand it, but it’s time to move beyond what I can do or more specifically the time I am personally willing to spend on it! Now I’m looking for help!
I am now looking to promote and market myself and my projects to the right people. Whether that is industry folks looking to hire and partner with me, or people who can join and help in my future projects, or simply audiences that will enjoy my material, all of these options are desired and valuable to me! The main reason I am now interested in putting someone in place for this job is that it can be time consuming, and I’d rather have an “expert” working their magic, doing their thing! Thus allowing me to continue to create and move on to new projects, not be stuck promoting old ones.
I am willing to work with both beginners or established folks. It strikes me that someone that is more established is going to be what I need in this case, but, unlike a lot of the industry, I never "turn my nose up" at beginners or people with only a few credits. We all have to start somewhere and talent is talent…regardless of if you have good representation or fancy credits, or not. I have had great experiences with “beginners” or “newbies” but again, I’m probably needing someone more established for this position. Passion and drive mean more to me then anything else though!
In regard to pay, I am willing to hire someone, but obviously I am not Tom Cruise, or Paramount Pictures. I do not have an endless budget or even tons of money to throw at this but I’m willing to chat and work something out that makes everyone involved happy. Especially if someone “established” was interested, obviously I’d employee you. Also, I’m open to a sort of “trade” with someone looking to get more experience or exposure. It will just depend, but I’m flexible depending on the specific circumstances and individual(s). I am absolutely looking for results though!
Alright, I don’t want to overwhelm, so I think that is a good start. Below, I have included links to all my films and projects. This will hopefully give you more of an idea about me and my “brand”…or whatever the catch word is currently! Please check out my stuff and then feel free to contact me directly. I would love to chat more, answer any questions, maybe Skype, or meet in person, and then start working together!
A BIG THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for taking the time to read this and for your interest! Alternatively, if you know anyone that this would be appropriate for, please do not hesitate to forward this to them!

Wishing you much success in 2014!! Keep the Faith and ALWAYS follow your dreams!
