MARKETING EXECUTIVE REVEALS HOW HE SELECTS FREELANCE TALENT FOR AGENCY WORK

Do you have what it takes to get hired by an agency? Find out at the March meeting of the
NJ Creatives Network.

If you are a creative freelancer, what does it take to impress hiring managers at an advertising agency or marketing group? How can you distinguish yourself from the crowd of creative talent knocking on agency doors? And what does it take to land some plum assignments and establish a rapport and ongoing relationship with agency executives? Mike Haviland, co-founder of Sonnenberg Haviland & Partners, based in Ridgewood, NJ, will offer answers to those questions and others regarding an agency’s hiring process at the next NJ Creatives Network Meeting on Wednesday, March 9, 2005 at the Bergen Museum of Art and Science, located on the lower level of the Bergen Mall.

Mike Haviland co-founded the marketing group, Sonnenberg, Haviland & Partners in 1993 with his business partner, Frank Sonnenberg. A graduate of Fairfield University, Haviland began his career with The Target Group media service and received his account management training at Ted Bates’ subsidiary, Diener/Hauser/Bates, and at Griffin-Bacal.
