Feeling the need to point out two interestingish nuggets of news for those that don't subscribe to our company blog.
1. Chairman Burden
Like Chairman Mao, except from Lewes, it's actually pretty big news for us that we've appointed our long-time business coach Peter Burden as chairman of NixonMcInnes.
Pete is fantastic, and different, and has been vital to lots of good things that have happened in the last 2 or 3 years. He's humble to the point of secretive, and when you actually look at his track record (which he only really let on to us in the last few months, i kid you not) it's pretty cool - including playing a key role in the setting up of BBC News Online.
This is part of a range of actions we're taking to accelerate the pace of development at NM HQ, along with developing a new management team and redefining our vision, mission and business strategy. Please note: this stuff isn't about growth in size - we don't care about being big, or even much bigger at all than we are now: this is about growth in cleverness, resilience and impact, that's what we care about (most of the time - the grass is, of course, always greener and one can easily slip into thinking about world domination from time to time... :).

2. Channel 4 Digital Publicity Manager
