Just in case anybody happens to be reading this to find out what I'm up to, I thought I'd announce that I've taken up a new position at Hill and Knowlton. As of May 2nd, I'm working there as Senior Analyst Relations Consultant. Initially this involves heading up operations on the European AR part of a global account, but the role will inevitably expand into other directions as well.
Part of the reason I joined the H&K team was that the vision of Analyst Relations articulated by Sally Costerton, the recently promoted European CEO, and Astrid Krohn (scroll down for a bio in Norwegian!), who heads up Analyst Relations in Europe, coincides very strongly with the way I see AR developing.
I don't intend to fill up this blog with work stuff, so I'll investigate what's available at H&K. For anyone who's interested in AR, we have some very interesting ideas and I'm chomping at the bit to start putting them into practice!
So far I've had an incredibly warm welcome from the H&K's undoubtedly talented tech team and it looks as though working there will be both rewarding and fun.

Thanks for the welcome - I see it took you just four hours to pick up on my post!
I'm fascinated by the possibilities offered by online tools in improving corporate comms. I guess I should make my way over to your desk and introduce myself!

Posted by: Dom Pannell at May 7, 2006 12:03 PMHi Dom: congrats on the new job - shame that you aren't going to give us some insight into the AR function - I for one would find that interesting! Best of luck with the new role. F
Posted by: Freddie Daniells at May 7, 2006 6:55 PMHi Freddie, long time, etc., etc.
Who said I wouldn't give you any insight into AR? I'll be happy to and in fact you've just given me a good topic for my soon-to-be-started blog at Collective Conversation (see Niall's post above); I'll ping you when I post it.

What is that you say? You and Sally want to take me out to lunch to discuss the future of AR?
