How We Hired Our First Advertising Producer (and What You Should Know)
In September 2024, I quit my full-time job at Havas Chicago. I packed up a truck with my best friend and drove to New York City to start a media company from the ground up.
That company is Breaking and Entering Media.
We went from working out of a one-bedroom apartment to getting our own studio on Madison Avenue, the historic center of advertising in New York.
Recently, we hired our first full-time employee.
This post isn’t advice from someone trying to get hired. It is from the other side of the table. I want to share exactly how we approached hiring, what mattered most, and what you should know if you want to stand out in this industry.
