LandaJob associates are well-seasoned professionals
(translation: too old for all-nighters) who have built their careers
and reputations in the ad industry. They know the business and
understand the yin and yang between creative and account service.
They have walked in everyone's shoes – as employees
and employers – agency, vendor, and client. But most importantly,
they know that happy people do good work; and making the right
match between talent and management is what has kept them
in business for 20 years!
Landa
Williams - 20+ years in agency management/publishing
Landa began her career at Harmon Smith Advertising with stints
at Vance Publishing, Barickman Advertising and Uppercase. She
also started and managed a division of Bernard Hodes Advertising,
an international agency specializing in recruitment advertising.
In 1985 she founded Status Pro, a recruitment firm for permanent
positions in the advertising industry. LandaJob, a division of
Status Pro, was created in 1992 to meet the industry's demand
