Hitching the Webwalker Wagon to Social Media Group
May 27th, 2008 Posted in Web 2.0
I am very pleased (despite being late to the party) that I can finally promote that I have accepted the position of Director of Client Service at Social Media Group. This is a really exciting opportunity to spend all my working time focused on Social Media for some top-tier clients and with some really smart people. I will be starting on July 2nd and continuing to work from Calgary or “SMG West”.
I leave my current role at Ventue Communications, with no malice and great fondness and wish them all success.
The real question is: will spending all my professional time on Social Media make this blog and the Shill podcast less fun in my off time? I sincerely hope not or I will forfeit 30 geek points.
Note: My timing on announcing this is late since, out of respect, I needed to wait until my company had officially communicated it before I could promote it. Doing the right thing counts even when exiting.

We’re thrilled you’re joining us, but one thing: we thought we were hitching the SMG wagon to Webwalker? We’d better sort that out

All the best to you at SMG, Doug. After you and Maggie figure out who’s hitching up to whom, of course. You will do great things together, I’m sure.

Thanks Donna.
Doesn’t matter who hitches whom to what, as long as it is going in the same direction.

congrats Doug, but if you move back to Toronto, Maggie’s gonna have to fight me for you
Another great victory for Social Media in Canada
