Media presentation and communication proposal
Jul 16, 2015
The author
In 1990 hvg (the most prestigious economic weekly, AKA the ‘Hun-garian Economist’) made the first exclusive interview (’Answers the headhunter’) with Pintér. In the late ’80-s and beginning of ’90-s the author also had a lot of appearance in various foreign media (e.g. New Zeeland TV, South-African TV, The Guardian, Dallas News, Journal de Genéve etc.) talking about the political-economic transition in East Europe. He also gave numerous interviews in the Hungarian media as well about the new HRM issues and executive search.
Mr. Zsolt Pintér, Hon. Professor of ’HR and Career Management’ at the Pécs University is already 25 years one of the best-known executive search consultant (‘headhunter’) and career advisor in Hungary. His career advises in the press (‘corres-ponding career-columns’) and the internet, his radio and television programs, films help a mass of people to plan their career and give them practical job-hunting tips.
In 1989 Pintér founded with his wife the
first executive search firm in East Europe
MANAGER CONTACT EXECUTIVE SEARCH LTD.
Antecedents of the book:
1991-96
In 1991 ‘Hungarian Cash-Flow’ asked Mr. Pintér to prepare a one-year long series of jobsearching tips. Between 1992-94 the author led the first career-advising correspondence column in the Hungarian version of Swiss Ringier’s ‘Cash’. Bet-ween 1994-95 the ‘Headhunter’s tips – career advises’ had been continuing in ‘Népszabadság’ (the leading nationwide daily). That time Pintér started his first morning TV program in the MTV called ‘Job, chance, career’. Between 1994-98 Pintér also had been leading a program ‘Call the headhunter’ in the Radio Danubius (the first commercial nationwide radio in Hungary). Since then he remained the career-columnist in 12 county daily newspapers, several commercial radios, TV-s and popular magazines.
In 1995 at a Reader’s Digest
private party Pintér met the MD
of hvg, who requested to sum
up the headhunter’s advises in
a book, which was first publish-
ed in 1996. hvg republished it 3
times between 1996-2000 and
the ad of the book had being
appeared each week in the
journal on 1/1 colour page
during 4 years. That time the
quite high price positioned the
book highly, targeting the
readers of hvg: the then 35-45
years old highly qualified exe-
cutives, the affluent opinion
leaders.
2001: refreshed book + CD
Between 2000-2001 the book was out of stock and has been republished only since June 2001 by
Publishing House together with the interactive, enter-taining, multimedia CD prog-ramme made of the book.
2003: new title –
new editing
Since 2003. the book is being printed in all on matt art-paper, which from the one hand makes B&W text yet well readable (does not glitter!), but allows colour pages appear wonderfully. From the other hand allows binding of the 400 pages book in acceptable thickness (35mm). Dimensions of the book (160mm x 240mm) can be compared realistically with other objects on the right!
Distribution
During 3 years hvg
sold 6,000 copies of the
then far not cheap book
so that it was not
available in shops, but
only could be ordered
by ‘HVG coupon’.
The new publi-shing house follow-ed a quite aggres-sive and dynamic sales and marke-ting strategy: agreed with 100% of book distribu-tors, library supp-liers as well as col-lege text-book dis-tributors and also the university and college student service providers. This strategy en-sured 100% book-store coverage.
Target group
Horton Books also applied wide-range POS marketing
activity which is usual in FMCG, but was uniquely new in the
book industry: transparent plastic cash-handing plate, card-
calendars, leaflets and so called ‘woblers’ (stickers bending
back from the shelves) all with the ad of the book. 10.000-
12.000 fresh graduates of 12 universities and colleges gets the
book each year. Total sale:
10.000-12.000 copies/annum
Compared to the first 3 hvg publications in 1996-2000, the target group has been differentiated during the last 20 publi-cations: primary reading public is the 26-34 years old highly qualified affluent opinion leaders, and decision makers.
the 22-28 years old ambicious, career-
oriented young jobhunters graduating
from various universities/colleges has
been remained as important target group.

’To whom it’s worth to pay attention’
communications supporting HR external PR
At the end of the book is the biggest and the
most ‘theme-oriented’ block. Originally it was
called ‘Job opportunities’, but since most of
the ads has been communicating ‘corporate
image’ instead offering jobs, the title above
seems to be more appropriate serving as an
’Alternative Super Brands of Hungary’.
