At Least Somone’s Hiring…

While Time Inc. and others lay off workers faster than Jack Bauer kills terrorists, Doubledown Media president and editorial director Randell Lane, tells Keith Kelly that he’s looking to hire “about 20 more people in the next 90 days. Tell all the people who are getting laid off at Time Inc. to send their resumés here.”

The reason behind the hires: The company recently purchased Private Air, aimed at lucky folks who can afford personal jets, and will launch Corporate Leader in October, which will target CEOs and CFOs.

Doubledown’s success proves once again that you can’t go wrong catering to the rich and powerful. Damn, we wish someone taught us this in college.
