Hot news on an icy day in T-dot
The time has come to talk my friend… of new beginnings and conversations ’round the bend…
Today felt like a good day for a bit of a riff. ;)
Enough preamble, what is my hot news?!
It is official. I have joined forces with Thornley Fallis / 76Design to bridge the boundries between PR, Interactive, and social media. To innovate. integrate. ingnite. so to speak :)
I’ll be working alongside the estimable Michael O’Connor Clarke and plan on rockin’ the city in between pints, rants, meetings, and brainstorming. It will be good times I tell you!
On a completely serious note, I have, and continue to be, extremely impressed by everyone at Thornley Fallis and 76Design, and have seen Joe & Terry walk the walk in the social media space consistently. It’s the right time with the right people. I look forward to showing up at the offices Monday in Toronto & meeting everyone in Ottawa on Tuesday!
This alliance will add depth to Wildfire’s service offering for current clients with the additional resources & capabilities of the T-F/ 76 team as necessary. In other circumstances Wildfire will operate independently with current clients. It’s flexible and quite exciting!
Looking forward to seeing everybody!
Cheers,
Tamera
It’s great to have you on board, Tamera. We’ve got a huge amount of work to do, and an enormous amount of fun to look forward to. Get your pitching gear on – we’re gonna be busy :-)

Hey…congrats. MOCC told me he was close to making a kick-ass hire and I guess you would be the proverbial ass-kicker he was talking about.
Good for you. As an alum of TFC (twice) and a fan of MOCC, I think you’ll have a lot of fun working with the gang in Toronto and Ottawa.
Joe will be grinning from ear-to-ear for weeks. My tongue-in-cheek post about him cornering the market on bloggers when he hired MOCC, isn’t turning out to be closer to the truth than I thought!
Best of luck and have fun.

Congrats to you, Tamera, and to the folks at Thornley Fallis. Great news for all! Maybe MOCC can take a little breather now. ;-))

It sounds like a wonderful opportunity for you Tamera – I can’t think of anyone more suited to bridge those boundaries!

Excellent news, Tamera.
In the social media gulf that separates PR and advertising disciplines it sometimes seems that it is only the PR people building the bridges.

Congratulations, Tamera! I guess drinks are on me next Tuesday – that is if you’re back from your trip to Ottawa. : )
