SnapNames Hiring Director, Marketing Communications
One of my clients, SnapNames, is hiring a key employee after my own heart, a Director of Marketing Communications. I’d like to help them fill the role, and would love your help in getting the word out to the best marcom talent around Portland, OR.
The position requires someone who blends the art and science of marketing extremely well. In other words, we’re looking for someone who can not only deliver results, but who can accurately forecast and measure them.
The successful candidate will have a background and familiarity with online marketing – including online promotions, search engine marketing, delivering buzz and word of mouth.
If you have someone in mind who’d enjoy the excitement of taking a company to their next stage of growth, send them our way - Kristen McKinney is handling the recruiting.
Here’s some background:
SnapNames developed the original aftermarket for domain names – names that have come back on the market after being created by someone else. The company is the market leader in the sale of expiring and recently deleted domain names.
SnapNames’ flagship domain auction has been used by tens of thousands of customers around the world to secure domain names with inherent commercial value such as:
- Brand-ability – driving high resale value;
i.e. super-generic short names, vanity names, etc. (vodka.com recently sold for more than $6M)- Direct navigation – a growing phenomenon in search;
i.e. “guessed� domains which are typed into the browser bar in lieu of search – also called ‘type-in’ traffic.- Domains containing high pay-per-click keywords;
i.e. realestate.com
An entire industry has sprung up around buying and selling domain names. SnapNames alone sold more than a quarter million previously created domain names in 2006.
SnapNames’ customers include:
- individual entrepreneurs (professional domain investors)
- big brand marketers
- business owners
It’s an exciting opportunity for the right person…
