OK, OK, I said I was back and blogging but things change pretty fast around here, if you don't stop and look around once in a while you might miss something (to paraphrase Ferris Beuller). Stopping and taking a look around is precisely what I've been doing quite simply because I've been made redundant!
Yes, after nearly 3 years of working at Onrec the party is over, the general decline in print and online media spend for B2B marketing is at the core of it, certainly no hard feelings, had a great time and met some wonderful people through the job.
Since finding out last week I decided that I should follow my own advice and blitz social media and boy, was it ever advice worth following! Within 6 hours of posting on Twitter that I was being made redundant I had 9 requests to meet up from various parts of the industry, large and small companies, new launches and established businesses, really my feet have barely touched the ground and next week is looking even more hectic, kicking off at Jamie's MyLongLunch event next Tuesday, anyone going along who wants a chat, feel free to say hi and corner me (after the event obviously). Though not for too long, I'm meeting 2 companies that afternoon for some really interesting conversations about what I could bring to their organisations. Wednesday is now looking crazy so I may well be doing Thursday too! I thought I'd dodged the London bullet for at least a few days!
Anyway, I've launched a new site in the time I've been off, a little raw right now but when I get some time to play around with it I'm sure it'll look a damn sight better: http://sussexmatt.weebly.com/
I'll be back with more to blog later today!
