Yes, Yes, the Castle is back. What new mysterious labyrinthine directions will this one take us? Christ this guy loves melodrama. What an imagination.
>>>From Ampex home page employment section. Asterick highlights are mine<<<
NEW YORK CITY BASED
DIRECTOR, CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS - We are a holding company based in Manhattan that is ****expanding through acquisition***. Our ***target markets*** are quickly ***becoming more consumer-oriented***, and as a result, we are ***poised to reposition ourselves and communicate a new message.****
>>>> My comments: more acquisitions are defiantly planned but in a new yet unstated direction – where is M. Cooper and the Duck? More and more I am convinced the Cooper is pursuing special strategies. And that is the reason why he is not visible in a day to day operational sense.<<<<<<
Right now, we have an immediate need for a skilled professional who will be involved in ****crafting a new marketing and corporate message, and communicating it clearly and consistently to our existing and potential audiences (including customers, strategic partners, employees and investors).*** Reporting directly to the CEO of the holding company, you will also be responsible for acquired subsidiaries in new markets.
>>>> My comments: new directions mandate rock solid clear communication (Imagio influence is my guess).In addition to the obvious, note the pickup on employees and strategic partners. Who are they to be? — again the Imagio connection but this time through Imagio's links to venture and other financial backers <<<
The successful candidate we seek must be able to formulate and communicate ideas utilizing outside media resources (including public relations, advertising, internet, etc.). In addition, your background should demonstrate your ability to manage these activities professionally and reliably and you must also possess the expertise to ***work with entrepreneurial personalities*** as required.
>>>My comments: this is not about the storage business or about adaptor boards with connectors for SCSI-2 or fiber-optic cableing. <<<
We seek a results-driven professional with a proven track record of success and excellence. A background in ***consumer product marketing and/or online commerce*** is an asset. Experience in a public company is preferable.
>>> My comments: again a specific for a tip-off. The "street" knows nothing about this and in it's infinite myopia couldn't care less. We may be looking at the embryonic state of what will be announced in appropriately lurid detail in the next (guessing) six months.My guess is that Ampex may be the front company (front runner sounds better)for something Imagio, Big Duck and all new. In this new entrepreneurial world the Ampex name signifying successful innovation would lend cachet to otherwise vapory business plans. Also, while the technology may be the crux of the plan, still "adult supervision" is required. <<<
What's your guess?
