PushPush Seeks Producer of Marketing & Distribution

On June 5, PushPush hosted a New Distribution Workshop with Brian Newman, where great emphasis was placed on the importance of a Producer of Marketing and Distribution (newly coined PMD by Jon Reiss). PushPush is seeking to fill this role for a new serial comedy, Slow Down Atlanta, a unique project to be first performed live on stage as part of its preparation for filming, digital broadcast and distribution.

Slow Down Atlanta is an episodic comedy about a group of out-of-work slackers who've started their own paranormal services company. The series has a unique blend of modern office comedy and seriously creepy, genre-based, mystery show. In the first season, the partners set up shop in a run-down office in Atlanta and take jobs that put them directly inside a city night-life that includes werewolves, vampires, ghosts and rednecks. The series is light, fast moving and unusually intricate. It is made up of well-structured adventures aimed at a slightly older, college-educated audience: kids that grew up with comic books and movies but can appreciate departures into social issues in the new south, and the new world. Themes range from internet gaming and marriage to immigrant culture, the new racism, strippers, and good-old-fashioned homophobia.

We're looking for someone who is part researcher, writer, and relationship builder, but also a trusted content curator and experimentalist. We want to involve someone already working to achieve this type of marketing in other ways, and who therefore understands the long term value of the PMD strategy development. The ideal candidate will have similar projects and ambitions and can use this project as a step to achieve those goals. We're not looking for a passive office type with some knowledge about social media. We seek a partner to join our team who is thinking creatively about managing and constructing transmedia marketing as part of engineering the story's reception. The position will be flexible and compensation will be based on project needs and funding.
