I see that Crispin Porter + Bogusky is hiring for yet another producer in the Boulder, CO area.
I wonder if they are really busy or do they have a problem holding onto talent.
I hope they are busy. Anyone know?

I think they have a hard time finding talent out there in Colorado, but that's my guess.

I think that they originally moved people there to fill jobs. I have worked in Boulder and always found 'more than enough' talented people in the denver / boulder area.

i think they tend to burn people out.

they work people non-stop. one of the main reasons myself and a friend passed on an opportunity to work for them. they do kick ass work, but at the expense of a personal life...

pretty funny if you can find the videos. Alex Bogusky is a clown.

They have rejected me several times... I hope they drown in Whopper juice

they're only in it to be acquired by some monolithic ad firm

I'm sending my resume just to see what happens....
what do you think they pay a producer in boulder?

not enough to live there

Boulder is not that expensive, unless you plan on buying a house.

when you say whopper juice are you referencing the Burger King product or the Malted Milk balls?

I had a nice one bedroom in boulder that ran for $850

Unless you like skiing 365 days a year what "creative" is going to want to live in the middle of nowhere, like Boulder. My guess is that they are having difficulties attracting and retaining talent.

I have a few friends still there. I hear their travel expenditures for moving staff and clients back and forth from NY to Boulder, and LA to Boulder are staggering. All because someone wants to snowboard.

They flew me out last August. The CD of interactive kept yawning and the other people I interviewed with kept making snide comments about their own work ethic - I said fuck it and thanks for the 2 day vacation to Boulder. Pay was shit too.

i think all the creatives are pissed and eventually quit because figured out that when they work their ass off and do award winning work that Bugusky ends up getting the award and putting in his name on it.
