Cabana Boys hunts for ‘smart suit’ to part own agency
After four new business wins, Sydney integrated creative boutique Cabana Boys is in the market for “a smart suit who wants to run and part own” the agency.
“We’re looking for a dynamic go-getter, who has worked at group account director level on integrated creative-led counts, and is considering making a play in the entrepreneurial world,” said Stuart Ghent, the agency’s joint owner.
The agency has recently won projects for marketing and distribution firm Stuart Alexander, commercial property company CB Richard Ellis, Mission Australia’s Youth Beat program and new work for existing client Fuji Xerox.
Cabana Boys, which has around six staff depending on the volume of work, is owned by creative partners Ghent, formerly of Razor, OgilvyOne, JWT and Publicis Mojo, and ex-Lowe creative Nick Robinson.
The agency launched in October 2008 and has worked for YWCA NSW, Australia Council for the Arts, Sydney Symphony, V Australia and Monier Roof Tiles.
By “making a play” do they mean work for little pay with some toekn equity?
Really Tim how is this news?

Actually Gezza, we will be offering the right person equity and a base salary, together with the potentially unlimited upside (and risk) that comes with being a business owner. They will also get a computer, a pair of tight white shorts and a very snappy business card.
Independent agency does good! Really, Gezza, how is this not news?

However this could conceivably involve expensive re-branding as “Cabana Boys and Girlz”
or can I suggest Cabana Suits?
