GGDDMD is a group of executive search and staffing professionals specializing in the placement of professionals throughout Digital Distribution / New Media / Mobile industries. 

GGDDMD provides recruitment services to major TV networks, radio networks, cable TV networks, regional networks, advertising agencies, satellite networks, MSO’s, broadband providers, telecommunications companies, place based networks, public broadcasters, government entities, ISP’s, digital content providers and distributors, motion picture studios, multinational media and entertainment conglomerates, music distributors/publishers, CLEC’s, print publishers and major domestic and international non-media based corporations enhancing or initiating their own internal media resources. 

We encourage new clients to browse through each practice group corresponding to their current needs or experience. These practice groups can be combined as essential determinants prior to identification, recruitment, assessment and attraction.  Tactical and strategic autonomy requirements vary based on the level of the search being conducted. Media, digital and traditional broadcasting industry profiles are provided. 

A compilation of skill groups are utilized based on the structure of the client company and the required tactical and strategic responsibilities of the desired executive. We encourage clients to pose questions pertaining to our practice areas to understand the firm’s specialized media and broadcasting recruitment acumen. 

A firm’s culture, reporting matrixes, business goals and markets are factors utilized in concert with the skills and experience a media executive brings forward. Every search is unique and many variables are involved.  An executive having experience in the areas below is just one factor in the identification, recruitment, screening and attraction and retention of qualified media executives. 

Broadband, Wireless, Digital Distribution, HD Integration, Development and Compliance 

GGDDMD facilitates initial build-out, maintenance, development, integration, distribution, new revenue stream establishment and FCC mandated compliance. This environment is for those seeking executives from within traditional and convergent digital media environments. 

Our ability to keep pace with technology, FCC mandates, spectrum allocations and legislative initiatives enables GGDDMD to play a vital role to those who choose to successfully implement and enhance “convergence”. Intelligent technologically savvy executives formulate many new delivery ideas but turning those ideas into viable revenue streams may require new skill sets, operational protocols or change managers.  GGDDMD’s understanding of implementing media technologies tactically and strategically is another benefit and advantage enjoyed by clients utilizing GGDDMD based on highly specialized media specific executive search capabilities in each practice group. From CXO to New Business Development to Chief Engineer our firm is capable of discerning the proper experience and skills to manage people and systems for current and future media platforms and broadcasting technologies. 

GGDDMD understands the synergies, codependency and convergent tactical and strategic requirements to integrate On-Air, Interactive, Wireless, Print and Place Based media properties. 

Our firm has identified every level of executive, experience and skill set required to assure the interoperability and monetization of coupled and stand-alone legacy and digital media properties. 

In the coming year we expect greater returns for those who retain GGDDMD and create increased cross platform accessibility to their audiences and verifiable accountability and transparency to their clients and advertising agencies through enhanced digital media metrics and analytics. 

GGDDMD is recommending that the clients of our firm lower future employment costs by eliminating redundancy by centralizing resources that are cross-platform functional and take the same approach to succession planning. 

Opportunities still exist to attract assets below what the market will demand in the coming year due to current conditions. We suggest that clients position themselves for execrated growth in the first quarter of the coming year. 

As compensation becomes more relative to revenue in these business groups many media entities will be vying for a smaller pool of staff due to dilution across genres and platforms; it is increasingly important that clients position their long term interests while the market still offers value. 

Sales Operations, Sales Planning, Advertising Sales, Product Sales, Traffic, Inventory, Production, Post Production, Operations, Marketing, Affiliate Relations, Digital Ad Networks and Financial Reporting will need to make the required changes to keep pace with demand or lose market share at an accelerated rate. 

Media firms who are not traditional broadcasters but are developing interactive products for online distribution and marketing will find that enhanced skill sets are required to keep pace with technology and production standards on the platforms they will be competing on. 

GGDDMD identifies, recruits and attracts convergent media executives who facilitate digital business goals tactically and strategically.  Searches are conducted for regional, national and international markets.

We have recruited a multitude of individuals in “traditional” entertainment positions within the film, television, cable, radio, home video and music communities, as well as in the sports and recreation arena. We are efficient, effective and results oriented. Our entire firm operates as a team becoming involved in all searches. This enables us to quickly canvass all relevant industries, source a broad range of contacts, and recruit the best and brightest available talent. Our Entertainment recruiters are dedicated members of the industry, many are involved with CTAM, NATPE, MIP, CES, etc, the type of organizations where you get tapped into top talent within the Entertainment Industry.

Often, the most ignored factor in selecting a search firm is its service. As a client, you will receive ongoing status reports and updates. We deal with every aspect of the recruiting process from sticky logistics to relocation jitters to salary negotiations, references and beyond. As a recruited candidate, you will receive a position description, company information when available, and an evaluation of your suitability for the position. It is our credo that anyone we come in contact with on behalf of our clients will come away from the recruiting experience with a positive feeling about our attitude and professionalism.

During the course of a search assignment and on behalf of our valued corporate clients, we follow specific procedures, which our years of experience have proven successful in locating and evaluating the most qualified candidates for your positions.

Position description

After careful analysis of your needs, we define the job responsibilities and desired characteristics of the ideal finalist for the position. The resulting position description serves to guide our research activities and evaluation of candidates. It also provides pertinent information to potential candidates and ensures a mutual understanding of the job’s requirements.

Research/Sourcing

For each assignment we create a strategy for the hunt. We target executives from our extensive database accumulated from over 11 years of recruiting and conduct original research that involves targeting companies and executives from a broad range of disciplines that match the client’s required specifications. Based upon our thorough knowledge of the business, we contact a wide range of potential candidates and sources, describing only the job we are seeking to fill, while maintaining complete confidentiality, as required.

Candidate interviews

Suitable candidates are interviewed in-depth, typically by more than one member of our search team. This enables us to evaluate each candidate’s qualifications, chemistry match, personality, presence and overall adaptability to the job.

Candidate reports

We provide verbal and written career information on candidates presented, as well as our assessments of each person’s suitability for the position.

Client interviews

After we have reviewed the recommended candidates with you, we then arrange meetings for you with the individuals whom you choose to interview. When you have selected the finalist to whom you wish to make an offer, we are available, to the extent you so desire, as your intermediary in the negotiations. However, the selection of the finalist and the form and extension of the offer are always your ultimate determination.

Reference checks

We provide confidential written references on the finalists. These references summarize information provided by third parties who are, or have been, in a position to evaluate a candidate professionally and personally. Because most individuals who become candidates in a search are not actively seeking an outside opportunity and have been approached by Genesis Global Entertainment Division the search team, it is important to protect the candidates’ confidentiality. Therefore, in-depth reference checks are conducted only after you have indicated strong interest in a particular individual. Informal checks, however, are made throughout the course of the evaluation process. We also routinely verify each candidate’s educational credentials.
