New Job, New City

Hey readers -- I've got some big news I'm now able to share with you: I've moved to NYC.

Last week I loaded up the car and made my way east. In Manhattan, I have started a new job as a Strategist for Undercurrent. Undercurrent is a digital think tank where I will be lending my expertise to connect brands to the digital generation, or the born digital generation, as Undercurrent puts it.

It's been over a year now that I've been writing here for Imagination Publishing and in that year, I've seen Imagination adapt quickly to the growing digital opportunity. I've learned much of what I know today from the incredibly bright people who work there and from the clients that trusted in our vision for their brand.

Although I am leaving Chicago, the executive team at Imagination and I have been working to create a role for myself where I can continue to consult, especially on accounts where I am involved and invested.

With all this in mind, I find myself asking, "what to do with Passion2Publish.com?" -- I'm no longer in the publishing biz, but everything I've discussed here is exactly the kind of work I'll be doing moving forward. I'm working on a new site and I hope when its ready that you'll follow me over. But I'm also hoping that you'll tell me how I can serve you better in a new site. So speak up, dammit.

I just want to take this opportunity to say thank you for reading and commenting on this site. Its truly been a privilege to have your attention.

I am happy to hear you moved to New York. I think it makes sense. Hope all is well. I'm working from home, living near the beach in Florida, and doing Web 2.0 marketing for an art website. Thanks for this great site.

Cheers,
Nina

Bud, I never congratulated you because I never saw this post. I never saw this post because you posted the same day we launched (launching it into a big black hole of posts I never read, but should have).

Anyway, congrats. Welcome to NYC. Make sure you do a 301 redirect to your new blog for SEO purposes. And hopefully we meet up some time.

Take care,

Nate

Bud,

That's great news, congrats. I grew up in NYC. It might take a bit to get used to, but it is a great place to be when you are young and single.
