I request that you do not send pdf files that I have to copy and reformat.  I prefer you provide your very brief job description in an email rather than an enclosure.  Please limit the size of your position descriptions (generally to 500 words or less).
***  This is a cooperative service.  It relies on your participation and contribution.  As you receive the benefit of this free newsletter, you should also send in jobs you learn about.  This is especially the case when there are job listings in the companies that you work for.

***  Weekly Piracy Report

 

***  One Paragraph Pitch:

Good tidings JOTWers! Like many/most/all of you who have posted a famous OPP, I am currently looking for opportunities to “bring my talents” to a new organization. However, this time around, I’m taking a slightly different approach. I’ve decided to strike out on my own and offer my services as an independent contractor. After 10 years of working as a strategic communications consultant and public affairs representative for non-profits and defense contractors, I decided to cut out the middleman and offer cost-conscious creative services direct to the customer. Let’s be honest – when you hire a big consulting firm they are just charging you double for our (we communications professionals) talents. I write this not only as a pitch to earn business, but as a call to action to any other JOTWers out there who wish to strike out on their own. Let’s combine forces, network and win some business! Looks like I’m out of space for a one-paragraph pitch, so please check out www.333communications.com for my history and services offered.

Very Respectfully,

Tom McFadden

I should elaborate and let you know how much I look forward to reading JOTW every Monday.

I have no doubt what you’re doing is a labor of love…and it is truly appreciated. It’s especially gratifying to be able to now post job openings, as well. Thanks again and enjoy the holiday weekend!

WTAQ seeks a news director who is a triple threat: a good reporter and anchor and a good writer who can set the news agenda on the air and on the station’s Web site before it’s in the newspaper; must want to report and do investigative work, know and understand social media and online reporting, and wants a mandate to work hard, dig deep and help create a “must hear” atmosphere in a state-of-the-art facility; no rip and read.  Send mp3 aircheck and resume to Jerry Bader, director of news/talk programming, WTAQ/Midwest Communications, 1420 Bellvue St., Green Bay, WI 54311 or e-mail jerry.bader@mwcradio.com.  No calls.

29.)  MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS [SPECIALIST / COORDINATOR / MANAGER], Elite Care, the practice of Liesa Harte, MD., Austin, TX

 

Are you a go–getter? Are you someone who is high energy, creative, resourceful and able to take the reigns without a lot of handholding? Do you have experience working in a marketing communications role inside of a large company — but now you’re looking for a more flexible alternative to the typical “9-to-5” job?

 

The CEO/owner of a small, yet fast-growing company is seeking a super star marketing communications [specialist / coordinator / manager] – one who is intelligent, dynamic, articulate, polished, committed and willing to work hard.

 

Specifically, the person we are seeking is…

•             A “taker.” Meaning you’re always looking for things you can take off the CEO’s plate without him/her even asking.

 

•             One-step ahead, anticipating what needs to be done and having it ready to go.

 

•             Flexible. Things around here happen quickly. Our team gets awesome perks (like working from home, flexible hours, etc.), but we’re also fast paced — meaning you need to be able to handle switching directions on a dime, without losing a step.

 

•             On occasion, willing to work weekends and nights. We may host live events, do program/product launches, and travel, so this is not a 9 to 5 position.

 

•             Ability to work hard and get stuff done with little supervision. The vast majority of the work you will be assigned will done from your home office or other virtual location. In other words, you need to work well independently.

 

•             Reliable and professional. We need to be able to count on you to follow through on your commitments and assignments, on time and on promise.

 

The responsibilities of this high profile, demanding role include:

 

•             Develop and deliver successful marketing communications plans for product/program launches, events, content marketing campaigns, and, most importantly, to support our marketing/sales funnel, including: defining objectives, identifying audiences, key message development and mapping, determining an integrated marketing mix, timeline development, budgeting, execution of all deliverables, and success measurements.

 

•             Develop and manage all marketing-communications related activities, including: blogs, email marketing, social media, web content, prospecting / client entry campaigns, webinars/teleseminars, media relations, content development for e-books/special reports/etc, client testimonials, case studies, talks and other presentations, marketing collateral, signage, advertising (online and offline), newsletters, info graphics, marketing collateral and other support tools.

 

•             Support building and managing our target client list, including identifying the right points of contact, gathering direct contact information and supporting initial contact via emails or LinkedIn.

 

•             Ensure consistent adherence to brand guidelines and trademarks in all marketing materials and activities.

•             Identify high-quality speaking opportunities, submit speaker proposals, track speaking calendar, develop presentations, and provide all required materials (photo, bio, logo, etc.) to event producers, as needed.

 

•             Plan, organize, execute and manage our events (including workshops, executive roundtables, power breakfasts, webinars, etc.) as well as our participation in other organizations’ events (such as sponsorships, etc.).

 

•             Ensure media coverage through press releases and media pitches, as well as develop key relationships with industry press.

•             Maintain and create reporting tools to monitor our marketing communications efforts.

 

ADDITIONAL KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS & ABILITIES:

 

•      Expert communicator with high attention to detail

•      Solid understanding of social media platforms and current marketing trends

•      Strong research skills

•      Capable of prioritizing and handling multiple projects simultaneously, under tight time constraints

•      Takes initiative

•      Expertise in transforming a strategy and vision into actionable plans

•      Comfortable with developing original content based on multiple sources

•      4-7 years of progressive experience in advertising, marketing communications, marketing or public relations

 

Please send resume and cover letter to gsmith@drliesa.com or 512-852-4447 attn: Ge’O-Vanna Smith.

Trail of the Month: May 2014

Wisconsin’s Shoreland 400 Rail Trail

By Laura Stark

 

“At all levels of government—local, county, state and federal—everybody was really interested in this project.”

 

Sheboygan County is rural, small-town America—no doubt about it. This is Wisconsin dairyland, situated halfway between Milwaukee and Green Bay, where the county seat is the Bratwurst Capital of the World. It’s not the type of place that one would expect a thriving walking and biking culture, which made it the perfect candidate for a grand, national experiment that began in 2005. And in Sheboygan, the county’s largest city, the Shoreland 400 Rail Trail was a little trail designed to have a big impact on changing modes and minds on transportation.

 

“We’re not like larger cities,” says Chad Pelishek, the City of Sheboygan’s director of planning and development. “We don’t have traffic jams or difficulty finding parking. Walking to downtown is something new because it’s so easy for us to get in our cars and go.”

 

The Nonmotorized Transportation Pilot Program (NTPP) has a long name but a simple premise: What happens to a community when people-powered transportation is made a priority? To find out, the federal government gave four communities across the country, including Sheboygan County, $25 million to invest in walking and biking infrastructure. A report detailing the results of the NTPP is expected to arrive by the end of this month.

 

“Sheboygan County is 500 square miles in size, so our municipalities are fairly spread out,” says Emily Vetting, associate planner for Sheboygan County’s planning and conservation department. “Because it’s so spread out, there are a lot of barriers to biking and walking, so we directed the focus of the NTPP in Sheboygan County on short trips within those communities that could be made by biking and walking.”

 

The Shoreland 400 Rail Trail is short—less than two miles—but according to the county’s website, within one mile of the corridor lies approximately 31 percent of the county’s population, 10 of the 16 Sheboygan public schools, 53 churches and approximately 80 manufacturing/production employers.

 

Not only does the trail thus provide a prime opportunity for walking and biking to work and school, less than a mile away lies the grand jewel of the city, sparkling Lake Michigan. Perhaps surprisingly, blue-collar Sheboygan—where nearly half the jobs are in the manufacturing sector—is known as the “Malibu of the Midwest” for its exceptional freshwater surfing. With the rail-trail so close to the shoreline, the city’s well-loved beaches are only a short stroll or ride away. Topping it off, less than three miles in the other direction, a connection can be made to the Old Plank Road Trail, which offers a 17-mile journey west through tranquil countryside.

 

This is quite a comeback story for what was once an eyesore for the city. “The rail corridor was a blighted area,” says Pelishek. “People were dumping junk there, and it was overgrown with brush. It’s really a night-and-day difference with what it looks like now.”

 

And it will just keep getting better. A new landscaping plan will add greenery all along the trail’s winding black path. “We really dreamed big with it,” says Vetting. “We’re aware that logistically we may not be able to fund everything at once, so we’ll do it in phases.” This summer will see the completion of the plan’s first phase, and future phases will roll out as funds become available.

 

“The chosen plants will tie into the neighborhood’s identity,” says Vetting. “For example, there’s a bar along the trail that brews its own beer, so hops will be planted there, and next to an Asian food market there will be trees native to that area that are also sustainable in a Midwestern climate. An area near a pizzeria will get shrubs and flowers with Italian feeling.”

 

Says Vetting, “Once you have these landscaping facets in place, it helps to ensure the trail’s longevity. People take ownership of it. Success is more guaranteed when neighborhoods take pride in it.”

 

Although rail-trails have been around since the 1960s, including Wisconsin’s famed Elroy-Sparta State Trail, this was the city’s first, and the NTPP funding was essential to it being built. Vetting estimates that about $1.3 million for the trail came from the program. The first shovel was turned at the trail’s groundbreaking ceremony last summer, attended by Congressman Tom Petri (R-WI), who campaigned the NTPP through Congress, and Marianne Fowler, Rails-to-Trails Conservancy’s senior vice present of federal policy.

 

“At all levels of government—local, county, state and federal—everybody was really interested in this project,” Fowler recalls. “There was more public engagement in Sheboygan than in any of the other pilot program communities.”

 

By the fall of 2013, the trail was complete, but being that Wisconsin was itself on the cusp of winter, the trail’s usage is just getting off the ground this spring. In fact, the trail’s official dedication will take place this coming June 2.

 

“The trail opened in the fall, and just a day or two after it was finished, it snowed,” says Bob Esler, a retired high school teacher who has lived in Sheboygan since 1967.

 

Esler, a railroad buff, was so enthused about the project that he wrote a small book—160 pages—on the area’s railroad history and designed historical signage that will be placed along the trail this summer. The trail will also sport a new logo he designed, inspired by the logo of the Chicago and North Western Railway, which once utilized the rail bed. The trail’s name itself comes from the bright yellow trains that once whistled down the tracks from Chicago to Minneapolis, a trip that was 400 miles and took 400 minutes.

 

“The 400 was a streamliner,” says Esler. “Its first car was a tavern lunch-counter car with a soda fountain and a short order cook. They used them from 1942 to 1971 when the trains stopped running.”

 

Esler himself was once a passenger. “As a kid, I grew up in Milwaukee, so when I went to college in Chicago, I rode the 400 to visit home,” says Esler. “It was a nice way to go. I’d sit in the parlor car and, after I turned 21, I’d get a drink!”

When RTC spoke to Esler last week, the weather had finally taken a turn for the better. It was 70 degrees after a long, cold winter, and he was airing up his tires for his first ride down the rail-trail. Perhaps an echo of the community’s sentiment, he enthusiastically exclaimed, “I haven’t been on the trail yet, but I plan to go on it soon!”
