I have some news.

I've decided to make a change professionally; I will be leaving Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corp and joining Red Tettemer in a similar social media position.

This move offers the best of both worlds to me; RT is an advertising agency of record for GPTMC and as such, I will still have opportunity to work on the Philadelphia "brand" that I am passionate about, including our insider-y Philadelphia campaign that includes the community blog uwishunu. I'll just be working on them from 3 blocks away.

I'll also have the pleasure of working with a collection of many of the most creative people I've had the pleasure of meeting. These are the people who brought you iMate just a few weeks ago, just for fun, and yes, those are their REAL employees.

It's been an educational and exciting year and a half working for GPTMC, the only non-profit organization I've known that is so teeming with talent and smarts that they are marketing on the same high level of Fortune 500 companies with 10x the budget.

I'll be at GPTMC for another week and then I'm taking some time off before joining RT on March 13th. Expect to see big things from Red Tettemer in the near future. I am going in with social media gunz a-blazing and we are going to make a lot of noise in the SM space.

BTW, I've been playing around with some ideas for my new title. Digital Revolutionary (Viva La Revolucion!)? Connections Strategist? Or Community Evangelist? I'm open to ideas! Bring it!

Oh yay, how exciting! My buddy Josh Temos interns there. Be sure to harass him for lack of posting on "our" (my) blog.

I hope it turns out to be all you are hoping for and more. :-)

Not so much a title, but it might work:

Nice work, lady! I'm psyched for you. :) It'll be interesting to see how both organizations fare going forward. Red Tettemer is lucky to have you!

For a title how about

"I left Caro"

:(

No, you know I am happy for you. Sad that I will get a lions' share of your work, with the same amount of hours in the day, perhaps...

Congrats on your new gig! From the tone of the blog entry, they seem like a good creative group of folks.
