Again…

It only seems like a few months ago that I was writing this and now I find myself writing a similar blog post.
Last week I was made redundant once again, which quite frankly is a bit of a pain in the arse. One of the reasons I moved to this company was because I thought that it served an industry that was quite stable following the economic shenanigans that we’ve been experiencing recently. Turns out this isn’t the case and the lack of work means that there isn’t enough in the pot to support the two account managers they have, which in turn means that I’m out on my ear. Ho hum.
On the up-side though, I’ve been through this before so I immediately punted my CV out to anyone who will listen and have listened before and hopefully they’ll start to come up with exciting and new challenges for me going ahead. I’m still looking for opportunities in the digital and interactive fields for anyone who is interested in letting me flex my organisational and creative muscles. So if you happen to hear of anything or have happened upon this blog post because I tagged it ‘career’, ‘challenge’ and ‘opportunity’ then drop a line to simon[at]mistersnappy[dot]co[dot]uk and perhaps we can talk.

So once again, for the benefit of those friendly search engines I’d like to say:

producer, senior producer, BBC, milo, holler, clearpoint, experience, web, internet, project management, project manager, products, development, iphone, flash, creative, jobs, challenge, opportunity, career

That is all.

Next…

Category employment opportunities

Just over a week ago I said goodbye to my former employers, those seriously playful folk (no not the Jameson ones!), with a tear in my eye. Could have been raining, or maybe it was the whiskey chasers, who knows. Either way I am now what some would politely describe as ‘inbetween jobs’.

So what to do next? Well, I’ve been in this old new media lark since it was really new so I know quite a lot of stuff about quite a lot of stuff and hopefully that is where my next challenge will take me. I’ve checked the stats for this blog and there is a slim possibility that my reader might work for a cool company who is looking for someone a little like me. A senior producer who’s been hiding in HoxDitch for the last two years making nice things for cool people. My special power is understanding BBC speek, kinda like Harry Potter and parseltongue but with less hair and no lightning shaped scar, and I love getting my hands dirty on great projects.

So for the benefit of the search engines, I’d like to say…

producer, senior producer, BBC, experience, web, internet, project management, products, development, iphone, flash, creative, jobs, challenge, career.

Direct your kind offers to simon[at]mistersnappy[dot]co[dot]uk – do a switcheroo with the bracketed stuff and we’ll be in touch as quick as a flash.

That is all.

mistersnappy, where have you been?

You may have been wondering why my ability to make social arrangements has gone down the toilet since I started work at Milo Creative. For the last 7 months I’ve been working on a series of fantastic films with fascinating people for 9 of the most respected museums in the UK. The project is called Creative Spaces and it is the first social networking platform to be build around the museum’s collections. It allows you to browse the online collections, research your favourite objects and then share your thoughts and findings with others.

My corner of the project was continuing the good work of my colleague Elena and creating a body of almost 30 films showcasing artists, designers, photographers and others who have a deep rooted passion for objects in these museum collections. We’ve worked with people like Vivienne Westwood, Ian Hislop and Gerald Scarfe, all of which were both charming and happy to share stories about their lives and how they have been inspired by the objects or collections of their chosen museum.

I have to say that I’ve learnt an enormous amount over the last few months and have been very lucky to spend time with some of the most intersting people I’ve ever met.
