For those of you who know me, I'm not usually one to do things by half-measures. So, in-between getting married and going on honeymoon I accepted an offer from Jacqui White at Edelman in London to come and work with them as part of their Interactive Solutions team.
It's a great opportunity to work with argubly one of the world's greatest PR agencies and definitely one that is doing the most to drive forward a greater understanding, adoption and absorption of social media by the PR industry.
I can't give a full overview of what the role will bring at the moment but rest assured there will be conversation mining; social media auditing and blogger relations thrown in for good measure.
This news also means that I will be departing GREEN Communications leaving an Account Manager shaped vacancy. It goes without saying that the people at GREEN have been nothing but great about everything and if anyone is planning their next career move then get in touch with them.
It would be advantagous but not necessary if you have any of the following attributes: an interest in social media; a love of creativity; a desire to be constantly challenged to improve ways of thinking or all of the above.
I start at Edelman mid-May and at this stage I'm not sure how light blogging will be around that time as I get to grips with new people, new clients and new processes. In the meantime, anyone want to buy a two-bedroom house on the edge of Leeds with study, great parking, incredible kitchen and a log-burning fire for those magical winter moments?

Hi Simon, just thought i'd echo everyone's comments in saying a pre-emptive welcome to the Edelman team. Unfortunately I won't be sat in EIS once you arrive as i'm defecting to Financial but I think i'll still be involved in a few things here and there. See you in May.
Tom
P.S - don't listen to that Davies; he knows nowt ;o)

Well done Mr, you deserve the break and what a break it will be! Couldn't be happier for you.
Keep in touch and don't start about this blogging lark - I told you I'd come round, slowly I admit but I'm getting used to it none the less.
