- You have proven experience creating and promoting at least 5 new media campaigns that generated quantifiable results. We don’t expect you have to have done all of it yourself, but the strategy, including reporting and conclusions, came from you.
- You are dialed into the newest, hottest, latest new media trends and connect the dots between disparate verticals to find a common thread that can be leveraged for our clients.

- You can write extremely fast.
- You are an idea-generating machine. You are constantly pitching new ideas for us and our clients – ways to leverage new media to get the word out.
- You excel at being a team of one. You can manage your own calendar, your own communications and your own time. You will be a part of a larger team, but direction and strategy comes from you.
- You are comfortable working in a virtual environment, communicating clearly and effectively without being in the office.
Your specific responsibilities will include:
- Promoting GDD Interactive through new media channels. This will include our blog, newsletter, YouTube channel, Wikipedia page, FB and Twitter accounts, our LinkedIn company profile, and other channels you think we should be leveraging.
- Contributing content to all of GDD’s new media channels. This may involve leveraging internal and external resources including PR agencies, freelance writers, and our internal creative team.

- Aggregating and disseminating industry content such as article snippets and links, gleaned from outside sources.
- Identifying and, as approved, filling resource gaps at GDD to ensure exceptional individual service and attention to detail for our clients.
Here’s what you can expect from us:
- An incredibly fast paced, results driven, high performance environment
- A team of all stars who will never let you down, and who will expect the same from you
- An informal, drama-free, professional environment
- Freedom and support to ideate, create, and lead
- A virtual office model – we come into the office 2 days a week and work from home the rest of the time

If you are able to keep pace with a team of outstandingly talented and smart people, if your head is filled with big ideas just looking for an outlet, if you would rather cut off a limb than shut off your iPhone, you may be what we’re looking for.
