A Filcro Media Staffing - Sports Marketing Executive Search Case History Review
Executive Vice President
International Sports Marketing and Business Development





Client Situation
The CEO met with Filcro Media Staffing in New York to discuss the strategic business goals of the organization across
multiple media platforms in domestic and international markets.

The CEOs objective was to identify an executive who could function with autonomy to monetize the organization in new
businesses and to a greater extent in the businesses they were currently engaged in.
As the dominant global leader in their space the CEO realized that their prevailing dominance had caused complacency
and there was a need to identify an executive who could move the company forward from a revenue and participation
perspective to eliminate any competitors from gaining significant market share.
The CEO granted Filcro Media Staffing autonomy to formulate a job description, compensation and where the executive
would be based to assure that revenue and business objectives could be met.

Filcro Media Staffing was Retained
The CEO was aware of Filcro Media Staffings reputation in the businesses that provided the organizations core revenue
streams. Cable Broadcast, On Demand, Telecommunications, MSO and Multinational Media Conglomerates were all
apparent clients of the firm. The CEO was an exceptional executive who was about to change over twenty years of legacy
media modality and he was doing it with bravado. There was a clear commitment by the executive personally and
professionally to revolutionize the relationship between sports, the media industries, advertising agencies and the dominant
global advertisers related to the demographic offered.
Some of the Challenges Facing the New Executive
Implementing business process not inherent to the sports industry
Establishing new revenue streams outside of traditional sports broadcast and franchise ownership
Renegotiating deals to include cross-platform entities as primary as opposed to secondary participants
Engage multinational media conglomerates to produce content specific to tent pole events, talent and their
associated domestic and international markets
Branding, merchandising and licensing in nontraditional markets
Building infrastructure to emulate business practices in the United States, Europe, South America and Asia

Client Situation
The Director of Human Resources identified Filcro Media Staffing to conduct the search based on the firm completing
similar searches at other competing Broadcast and Cable TV Networks.

The Senior Vice President of Programming was also familiar with the firm and was instrumental in conveying information
that led to Filcro Media Staffing (FMS) being retained. Tony Filson having participated in National and Local Affiliate Sales
as well as National and Local Advertising Sales searches was fully aware of the skill sets and experience required to
facilitate the Network's Affiliate and Event objectives to enhance their Local Ad Sales, Public Relations and Special Event
objectives through increased affiliate distribution.

Filcro Media Staffing is Retained
Filcro Media Staffing Officer in Charge of Search Tony Filson was asked to commence a search in the markets surrounding
Stamford, CT to avoid a corporate relocation if possible. Tony Filson concurred that a suitable universe of candidates with
the appropriate Affiliate Marketing and Public Relations experience within the Networks compensation range could be
identified in the targeted geographic. New York, New J ersey and Connecticut offered an ample affiliate executive
population to establish a suitable search universe in a brief period of time.
Filcro Media Staffing initially identified Major Network and Cable Network Affiliate and Corporate Communication executives
to establish a search universe. The uniqueness of this particular network offered great attraction possibilities. The ability to
draw from outside the genre and concentrate more on effective performance within the established required skills sets was
refreshing.
Succession plans were not required as this environment was expanding and currently attracting executives from top to
bottom. Longevity and effectiveness from a tactical perspective were the clients primary goals here.
This search was handled exceptionally well by Human Resources being that a key affiliate relations executive was not yet in
place yet to participate in the interviewing process. The Director of Marketing and Public Relations as well as the regional
Affiliate Sales Vice Presidents were proactive during the process and clearly stated their preferences during identification
and recruitment. The new President would not start until well after Filcro Media Staffing completed the search.
The clear definitions established with the Director of Human Resources at the inception of universe compilation were key
factors in the final tiring of candidates. No significant changes were made during the search process aside from the
increased weighting of Cable Network as opposed to Broadcast Network candidates with the appropriate affiliate marketing,
PR and special event experience.
The Event and Affiliate Marketing skills required offered some challenges at the onset. Being that extensive autonomy was
required to establish synergies on many levels, we needed an affiliate executive who could function strategically and
tactically on domestic and international special event projects that were non-traditional based on the Networks unique
niche. The special events and PR responsibilities were a mix of industry and consumer concerns that are unique to the
broadcasting industry yet based on the lack of sophistication of some broadcast environments, the desired skill sets did not
exist in a single person in most established networks.
The diversity of the Networks programming was never an issue. The broad and unique demographic some felt would impair
universe compilation from an attraction perspective never materialized and ultimately led to being a positive in attracting
the new director of affiliate marketing, PR and special event.
Challenges facing the new Director of Affiliate Marketing, PR and Events
Build value with affiliates through development of marketing tactics, promos, and local events
Develop affiliate marketing, PR and special event tune-in initiatives for anchor programming to generate revenue
for cable affiliates.
Create high-speed access promos and VOD programs
Responsible for all special event marketing, trade shows and PR for the industry

Filcro Media Staffings Recruitment Solution
Filcro Media Staffing proceeded to Identify the "best in industry" affiliate executives with current or prior public relations,
special events and marketing experience who excelled in similar functions on a national and international level within the
assigned geographic universe we were permitted to function within.
The mix of on-air, VOD and broadband experience required for the Network were key factors in
our tiering of candidates. The Network was fortunate that online and VOD distribution and
programming were revenue generators and capitalizing on their strengths was accomplished by
utilizing models established with other multiplex clients Filcro Media Staffing had recruited for in
the past. However, traditional multiplex environments with a lack of commercial programming
being SUB driven would not suffice so we had to provide a commercial mix to assure that VOD
and broadband would effectively meet the advertising sales requirements too.
With extensive international travel being a consideration, a proven capacity to function
autonomously while enhancing value was key. We needed an affiliate executive who was known for making things happen
by presenting traditional: Value, Benefits and Advantages to clients internal and external to the organization while
customizing programs across multiple media platforms.
The mentoring of an affiliate manager, already in place, required strong acumen within the current and targeted affiliate
markets to optimize their efforts to MSO and station groups.

She also created strategic revenue generating / retention driven market and public relations campaigns that were highly
effective. Her out-of-the box promotional initiatives utilizing specially designed databases, e-mail and digital tools to
increase the perceived value of cable networks and reinforce brand positioning were known in the industry to be trend
setting at the time.

Client A Multiplex Multiplatform Multicast music TV network seeking departure from legacy media
distribution, merchandising and consumer music entertainment.
Looking to the future and the modalities of which music is produced, distributed, licensed and
monetized across (8) eight media platforms the firm retained Filcro Media Staffing to recruit a
CMO capable of leading in business, technical and creative areas relevant to marketing.

Client Situation The CEO and CFO had inherited a CMO from a Music TV Network they acquired for their U.S.
broadcast MSO and OTA distribution assets. This incumbent CMOs experience and acumen
was limited to local, regional and national U.S. markets.
With an emphasis now on global distribution and global marketing partnerships, it was necessary
to identify, recruit and attract a CMO who could concentrate initially on The Americas and then
build-out marketing resources in the U.K, Australia, EU and Asia respectively.
With key recording artists, music labels and publishers as catalysts for distribution across eight
media platforms, it would be essential that this new CMO have equal capacity and efficacy with
the music and broadcasting entities essential to the firms success.

Filcro Media Staffings Recruitment Modality

The new CMO would be working with honed contemporaries from a compilation of the World's largest media and
entertainment companies. Many of which were recruited by Filcro Media Staffing. From their respective industries in
broadcasting, music, technology and merchandising their global acumen and monetization modalities would require a
CMO who could be a substantial catalyst in the success of the company.
This CMO would also drive revenue independently by conceiving, planning and executing marketing initiatives with motion
picture studios and music labels to multinational CPG companies. This executive would require strong multiplatform
media experience to assure that the business affairs aspects of partnerships were realistic. Based on the diverse and
complex agreements surrounding distribution and their associated technology across (8) media platforms this would
require exceptional reasoning to bring them to fruition.
Taking into consideration the B2B, B2C and C2C programs this CMO could not be steeped in a heavily layered
environment where he or she was compartmented and unable to perform tactically and strategically. The OICs profile of
targeted ideals consisted of those with large multinational, entrepreneur and start-up compilations of of business
experience.
Total universe (26) candidates. Second round (11) candidates. Initiating the third round of interviews for the search in
New York and Los Angels there were (7) seven marketing executives who met all the criterion set by the OIC at the onset
of universe compilation. Between Miami, Atlanta and Redmond there were an additional (4) four candidates of interests.
After three rounds of interviews it became apparent that (3) three of the (11) eleven candidates were ideals.
Tony FIlson as the OIC again met with the CEO and CFO to discuss the final (3) candidates before a final fourth round of
interviews. Each candidate was examined in detail with regard to every immediate and longterm goal of the company.
The general consensus was unanimous and it wan now time for each executive to justify their findings one final time
before a formal offer could be made.
Ultimately the CMO hired also had to make a decision; he had another offer in hand. Currently residing in New York City
he was offered another position in the Southeast with a motion picture studio.
After careful thought and to everyone's joy the CMO accepted the CEOs offer. The new Chief Marketing Officer with a
vested interest in the success of the firm has everything required to make this opportunity the most significant career and
financial success he has partaken in, in his respected career.
