Filcro Media Staffing New York is Retained
Filcro Media Staffing with Tony Filson in New York as Officer in Charge of Search (OIC), met with the ESC and commenced with the search by first reestablishing a consensus of the committee based on Filcro Media Staffing’s experience with similar searches for senior level media sales executives. The diversity of the business, technical and creative constituencies on the executive search committee caused debate as to whom the ideal CSO would be. After Filcro Media Staffing presented compensation and media platform budgets from previous searches in NY, CA and IL, the ESC agreed on the key experience criterion to be utilized for universe compilation.
Filcro Media Staffing was provided a strategic overview of where the board would like to see the firm from a structural and revenue perspective within 1-3 & 5 year increments. TV, Online, OEM and Mobile platforms were compartmented to assure that the budgets desired were realistic.

- Hiring sales staff and leadership for all offices
- Creating a domestic and international sales operations infrastructure

Filcro Media Staffing’s Recruitment Solution
Filcro Media Staffing proceeded to Identify the "best in industry" CSO’s; EVP’s and SVP’s from appropriate media environments with a proven record of success in building solid infrastructure of companies with similar revenue generation goals in global digital and broadcast media markets.
As the board had setup 1-3 & 5 year revenue goals it was essential that the CSO had exhibited efficacy in multiple phases of revenue growth in the ten’s to hundred’s of millions of dollars at a similar cadence with startups or acquired media assets rolling out with similar distribution across the same combined media platforms.
The board required expeditious recruitment results to meet revenue projections to assure that the acquisition of a competitor could take place the following year.
Successful CSO / EVP Recruited
A CSO / EVP was identified, recruited and hired with both startup and global media conglomerate experience across three media platforms. This executive had led and grown teams in the $20 Million to $600 Million USD ranges.
From a cultural perspective the executive was well suited to work with the president of each respective operating group in technology and creative areas.
The new CSO / EVP was quick to setup US and international operations and the agreements desired by the board in line with their business plans. The proposed acquisition of media assets was facilitated.
Filcro Media Staffing’s OIC Tony Filson was complemented by the board for identifying an executive who exceeded their expectations. Subsequently, Filcro Media Staffing was asked to staff all sales and sales support staffing in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Miami.
