hollering at all planners (job opportunity)

I've just been working at this place Holler, and really enjoyed it. They're a talented bunch of people with a good set up, and some clients which will let them do some interesting work.

The nature of planning work I did there was quite broad - they don't use creative teams in the sense that ad-agencies do, so planners need to be unafraid to be a bit creative sometimes.

My highlight was planning and selling in educational content for teens, by wrapping it up in a big transmedia, ARG-esque story, but with less emphasis on puzzle solving, and more emphasis on interactive ways of telling a really good story. Hopefully I'll be able to tell you more about it soon.

Anyway they're on the look out for good planners - people with a good grasp of the traditional account planning skillset, but who are capable of using new media in a creative way too.

If you're interested, get in touch with James at holler co uk. Or you can email me for more info if you like.

I finally have to leave my bedroom

goodbye, bedroom

I'm going to be working at Holler for 3 weeks, starting Monday 13th August and finishing Tuesday the 5th September.

One of the things which interested me was the fact they have an in-house marketing team - a kind of cross between a media and PR team, who can get stuck in with seeding content, setting up partnerships and doing all that kind of WoM stuff that's becoming so fashionable lately. Plus they seem like nice, fun bunch.

Feel good to have something sorted until September, so I can relax and devote this week to my admin and other projects.
