Currently the average tenure of a CMO is about 28 months. The average tenure of a senior level advertising executive doesn't look much better.

Can there be long-term relationships between organizations and talented marketing and advertising people? Can talent search help?

We're Brick House Partners. And our answer would be yes – If talent search re-orients toward enduring issues; key issues like focus on fit, track record and skills and values and a transition from "This is what we do" to "This is what we believe."

This is the secret behind Brick House. A place where organizations can find people based on fit and values and not just track record and skills. Most importantly, a place where relationships endure, not entirely unlike a house made of brick.
