If anyone was in any doubt about how small the world is getting, here’s a Canadian blog pimping a job in the UK as a favour for a friend I’ve never met.
Richard Millington is leaving APT Marketing and they want to fill them as soon as possible. Richard joined the flackosphere around the same time I did and is a must read in my blogline, as opposed to other bloggers who I just skim.
He writes a mean blog with some scathingly funny entries coupled with great stories about really creative pitches about grease traps and patio furniture.
From what he’s written, Richard is a great asset to his company so his replacement needs to be pretty spectacular. Check out his post if you’re in the Cheltenham area and are looking for a kickstart to your PR and marketing career.
A couple of little known facts about Richard –
- His dad played for Arsenal
- When he was nine years old, he got Bret “Hitman” Hart‘s shades before a wrestling match
I feel the need to point out that my dad didn’t play for Arsenal. I do have Bret Hart’s shades though.
Indeed. That was an “in-joke” between the two of us.
