Check out the interview here!

This might have to suffice while I’m laid out with the stomach bug Gary passed along…

But he did surprise me with a Christmas Tree this week – all lit up! – since it was getting to be really late!

Real honest-to-goodness Green Mountain Coffee at my fingertips is one of them. Being able to get whatever damn smartphone plan I want is another. But what really makes me happy is that sarcasm and bluntness are both encouraged and rewarded.

I’m a confident and opinionated person. I say what I feel, for better or for worse, and thanks to my last job, I finally caught on to that “worse” part. For a “creative agency”, I certainly felt dulled, quieted, squashed.

Happy to now be working with an energetic and creative team that has fun and speaks out. Of course no company is perfect, but I definitely belong here right now.

I’m the last one at the end of the hallway, and I’m lucky enough to have one wall of exposed brick from when this was an old rubber mill back in the 1800s. One wall is an awesome bright turquoise color.

I also have wood beams for a ceiling – very cool. I don’t know what exactly is on top of that for roofing, but…

HOLY LOUD THUNDER AND RAIN!!!!!!

This has been a very noisy week #2, but I’m loving it!

I’m happy to report that I’m starting with experience marketing agency George P. Johnson (GPJ) next month!

I’m very excited for this new opportunity. I’ve had a good few years at my current PR agency, but change is very welcome. GPJ is an incredible environment for me to stick around in for hopefully a long time, and that includes the fact that it’s an hour less of a commute and it provides me with a much more international career experience.

If you’re curious about what “experience marketing” means, it is a focus on customer participation and engagement across the entire range of face-to-face marketing and communication formats: trade shows, conferences, sports, entertainment, lifestyle, mobile and street marketing.

GPJ clients include many of the largest auto manufacturers, pharma, high tech… and namely RIM/BlackBerry, which GPJ hooked on with the John Mayer tours of 2007 and 2008. The creative space at the North Easton, MA mill building is just awesome, and the people are too. I can’t wait to get back there.

More to come when I start in July!
