Job vacancy
There’s also a job vacancy that some of you might be interested in (I’ve already called a few of you about it but no takers yet). CCO of a good large 4A's multinational agency wants to find a Creative Director for Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, details below.

An award-winning writer-based CD
With dairy products experience/TV
Excellent English language skills.

Package offered is between US$150,000 and US$200,000.- (tax free)

This would be a good opportunity for a youngish writer-based CD with packaged goods experience to enter a thriving market, possibly as a stepping stone into Dubai...lots of regional interaction. Large agency background.
