Saying Goodbye to Switched On Media
Moving On
Yesterday it was officially announced that I’ll be leaving Switched on Media and joining Weber-Shandwick as their Digital Strategist.
It was honestly one of the hardest career decisions I’ve made. My experience with Switched On Media has been second to none. It in no way reflects the work, people or business behind Switched On Media: in fact, the people have been some of the best.
With the inspiring leadership and exceptional business acumen from Andy Jamieson and Scot Ennis, we together built a business function that serviced over 25 brands in Social Media over an 18 month period. It was – and remains – profitable, delivering real business outcomes for our clients.
The role and mission was both the most challenging and rewarding I’ve ever had, and with the support of the brilliant and very talented Hannah Law, was a role I looked forward to, each and every day. Switched On Media is a business that has seen phenomenal growth and I’m very proud to say that I was privileged enough to work along side them and help build the social media service.
Switched On Media have pioneered, understood and developed the Social Media and Search space (including it’s integration) better than most, and I’m sure that with the leadership of Andy, Scot and Hannah – they’ll continue to do so. It’s rare such as complex mix of entrepreneurship, creativity, technical knowledge and communication can come together like this.
Big shoutout to everyone who has and continues to work there: Andy, Scot, Ian, Jeremy, Alex, Wai, Phil, Kevin, Hannah, Rattan, Hadrian, Samantha, Eva.
