Are we the first India-based marketing or advertising firm to set up offices in Singapore?

We don’t know for sure, but it does look like it.

We have temporary digs now at 11-13, Block 20, Simei Street 1, Singapore 529944.

Will be moving into a slightly more permanent - and hopefully, bigger - home soon.

Await more announcements on staffing etc!

Just in case there are people who stumble on here and want to know if we’re hiring - yes, we are.

We’ve grown like mad, have a couple of dozen clients already around the world, and are moving to an office 3 times the size in less than a year of our getting started.

We need people - and how!

We’re looking for, in no particular order:

* Math / Stats Adepts: People with a deep understanding of optimization and linear programming. A talent for writing code would be an added advantage. Come here to invent the algorithms that will change the world (of marketing, at least!)

* Brand Managers / Executives: You feel like you’re a one-man (or one-woman) marketing army: come aboard to handle some of the world’s leading brands. Make your brands win globally in a “full-rewards-for-full-responsibility” environment.

* Business Development folks: You’ve handled clients and/or media buyers and can hold their hands over the phone. And they love you in return. Come to us to work with some of the world’s leading marketers and agencies.

We’re building what could become one of the world’s leading marketing companies.

Send a short note about yourself to jobs@pinstorm.com. I will look at every mail personally.

Right - it’s not even been a year at this place - and we’re getting way too crowded.

Pinstormers will be glad to know that we’ll be moving within weeks to our new digs that are almost 3 times the size and that have room for atleast 35 of us before we get that guess-who’s-using-deodorant feeling again.

For the benefit of a few people who shall not be named (but somehow respond when called ‘Ullas’, ‘Yashita’ and ‘Venkat’), we will also be strategically better located - just a laptop’s throw away from 5 of the hottest bars in Bombay and within wireless reach of at least 2 of those watering holes.

History will tell if this is a wise decision or not.

Yashita Mukhi, your Mom called to say that from now on she will NOT be scraping you up off the sidewalk the next time you go on one of your Tequila binges.
