HARRY'S COMMENTS: Simplexity is one of America's largest marketers of cell phones and cell phone plans. They run two businesses: Wirefly.com which sells directly to consumers, and a private label business which manages the cell phone online retail businesses of their partners like RadioShack. Think of Simplexity as the Expedia of the cell phone business: They’re an aggregator of wireless products and plans, and their mission is to “simplify” the selection process for their customers. This $400 million company seeks a CMO to grow the business and improve its brand positioning in its target markets. Outstanding comp package.
