This $50 billion FMCG client company creates and builds brands that improve consumers’ lives by discovering unmet needs.  A major core competency is a growing world class global design organization that reports to the CEO.  A passionate, energetic, creative leader with personal style and charisma is needed to head up the Latin American design management organization. Experience in the Latin American market is a given.  The GDM needs to also be a proselytizer for how design drives and adds value to a business. He or she will continue the tradition of building, training, coaching and caring for a young staff of 25 design managers working with marketing on conceptual initiatives.  The ability and desire to build close relationships with key customers across distribution channels, ranging from Wal-Mart to the many small bodegas which make up 50% of sales volume, is also essential.

Posters, paintings, guidebooks, films, computer games and other digital environments are just some of the cultural artefacts in which text, narrative and image intersect in particular ways. Art historians, design historians, material culturalists, practitioners of cultural studies and others are invited to reflect on their sources, the issues mobilised by articulating images and objects with language, and the ways in which they communicate with these cultural artefacts. Show/Tell: Relationships between Text, Narrative and Image is the first conference in a biennial series.
