Ideal partner would have a savvy blend of entrepreneurial passion and marketing “get it” along with a sophisticated tool box of real-world marketing skills necessary to build and perpetuate great brands. We’re growing, we’re shaking up a sleepy traditional category--let’s be honest, bread isn’t exactly a new business! We’re looking for somebody to share our vision and continue in the evolution of our brand/product story. The marketing seat on the Flatout bus is vacant—perhaps you’re the right one for that seat? Stacey and Mike Marsh are looking for a senior marketing leader/partner to help grow the Flatout brand. As entrepreneurs, we grew Flatout with passion and dedication. This position requires someone who can share our passion and vision for the brand as we expand distribution and continue our brand evolution! We’re looking for someone with a balanced mix of entrepreneurial energy and real-world, hands-on marketing execution skills, along with a track record of success with brands that are as exciting as Flatout. Here is an excerpt from the “Flatout Story” in Stacey’s own words. “After three long years of feeding restaurant customers, family and friends flatbread, we developed the original recipe for FLATOUT flatbreads in our bakery in Ann Arbor, MI!!!! We still remember the day in 1998, when we actually produced a piece of flatbread we’d be proud to sell to our customers. As the flatbread came flying off the end of the bakery line, we were yelling, “This is it!” Since that unforgettable moment of flying FLATOUT, we have sold our unique FLATOUT to thousands of supermarkets, hotels, recreational parks, schools, universities and restaurants. And we will keep on flying toward making Flatout a household name across the country – after all, it’s better than sliced bread!” Flatout is an established healthy, premium brand of distinctive flatbread products, pre-made sandwich kits and baked flatbread crisps. Flatout is a “discovery brand”! It has grown by word-of-mouth and has experienced dramatic growth in recent years. This growth has fueled a need to evolve the sophistication of our marketing initiatives and programs as we transition from a sales-driven to a marketing-driven company (a.k.a. we’re finally big enough to actually have a marketing team and budget!) Flatout bakes all of its products in a highly efficient manufacturing facility in Saline, Michigan. Flatout enjoys strong brand recognition with weight-conscious and health-minded consumers targeting enthusiast groups such as Best Life diet, Atkins diet, and Weight Watchers. In 2009, Flatout introduced two new product lines, FOLDit™, a patented, hinged flatbread that revolutionizes burgers and sandwiches and EdgeOn™ Crisps, a healthier baked snack chip! From inception, we’ve maintained a strong focus on sustainable business practices and doing our part to be green. For example, 99% of all the paper, cardboard and plastic materials we use are recycled. As a small brand, we’re doing our part for the planet and our local communities. We gratefully support national and local organizations like Breast Cancer Awareness and the Michigan Tigers Soccer Club. We help local schools and donate bread to food banks and local farmers. North Castle Partners, a leading private equity firm focused on investments in “Healthy Living and Aging” trends, invested in Flatout in January 2010. JOB SUMMARY Flatout’s newly established VP of Marketing role will focus on building a team/organization and marketing mix that will support the brand’s continued sales growth and expanded distribution plans.
