Executive Search

Retained Executive Recruitment focused on the intersection of Media/Technology/Brand

Mullen Marketing Search is a boutique retained executive search firm that works
on the premise that our network is everything.
 
We are certain that we are far less than six degrees away from every talented marketing strategist we need to know for our Fort
une 500 clients. We get to know every candidate in-person whether in the flesh for coffee or via video chat when the search is not in the NYC area. We are high touch not a high quantity business.
 
Our clients come from a variety of backgrounds with the common need for marketing strategy people. They range from financial services to CPG companies to their agency partners across four main categories which increasingly intersect: Innovation/New product development, Branding, PR, and Advertising/communications (often highly digital).
 
We work across the U.S., Europe and Asia to find the right talent for the job and we work across all marketing roles:
  • CEO's, CMO's Marketing Directors, Senior Brand Management, and Client-side Innovation Leaders/New Product Development
  • Leading Brand Strategists/Account Planning Directors, Brand Consultants and Innovation Experts
  • Agency-side Account Management/Client Handling Leads, Client Service from Managing Directors to Account Directors

We recruit for the following types of top-tier companies:

  • Fortune 500 companies' marketing departments
    •  
  • International Advertising Agencies / Integrated Advertising Agencies
    •  
  • Interactive Agencies
  • PR agencies growing strong digital capabilities
  • Brand Consultancies that range from Innovation Firms to Positioning and Communications Strategy
  • Market Research Firms with strong Brand Strategy offerings
  • Media Companies / Content Creators and Media Agencies

We see the merging of brand communication and media as our sweet spot. How a brand communicates and connects in the context of content someone wants to consume -- the brand may be generating that content, or associating with it, or the content a consumer loves might inspire a new brand. It's murky now and that’s OK with us. The talent we attract is helping to figure this out.

Although most of our current clients are New York-based, one-third of our work is across the country and world: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Dallas, London, Berlin, Sydney, Hong Kong, and Shanghai. Our international work to date has been with international advertising, interactive companies, PR, and brand consultancies whereas our U.S. also includes media and technology.
