Head of Sales/Marketing For London's MindCandy
VC-backed Mind Candy has done well with its virtual world model and is loong for a head of sales and marketing to sell ads to agencies and build the brand.
Mind Candy asks: " Imagine CSI, crossed with LOST, 24 and Heroes. But, imagine those shows as bitesize online video, whenever you want them, wherever you want them. Imagine them as a global detective mystery where hundreds of thousands of viewers all play a part in cracking a case. Where you can play a part. Imagine them where they spill out into the real world, where looking for evidence can literally mean scouring a real world crime scene. Where interviewing a suspect can mean talking to one over the phone. This is a next-generation Alternate Reality Game. This is Perplex City Season 2."
