Coming soon: a change for me
Some of you I think will know this already – given the efficiency of the technology PR grapevine – but as of mid-March I’m leaving Bite to set up on my own. After thinking about it for a while, I’ve finally decided that now is the time for me to go solo and become a freelance creative/digital consultant focusing on social media, online marketing and PR.
(UPDATE: Just read a piece in PR Week – ‘blog specialist’ is somewhat narrowing down what I actually do at Bite and will be doing in the future, plus the list of clients wasn’t wholly complete . . . but there you go, I should be flattered right?)
I’m currenty talking to Bite about the possibility of working on a freelance basis after my full time contract ends but we haven’t worked out the final details yet. I’ve really enjoyed more than three years at Bite and in that time I’ve worked on some amazing brands like Apple, Yahoo!, Tiger Beer, Zopa and most recently Facebook (particularly exciting after it was dubbed the most sought-after retainer of 2007!). My first event at Bite was the European launch of iTunes and it’s been an amazing ride for me along the way ever since then.
Now though I’m up for a change and am really excited about the future and working with lots more exciting people, companies and agencies – working out how to embrace this massive earth-changing thing we all know and love called the Internet.
Now I just need to think of a name and there’s one recurring theme that keeps on occupying my mind . . .

If technology doesn't seem like magic, it's probably obsolete . . .
hello_
I'm a digital creative/strategist/doer that blogs about all kinds of stuff that usually involves brands, digital marketing, technology or cats.
Jonathan, all the best with it, let me know if I can be of any assistance.
Best,
Ged

Good luck with it all, freelancing is a great if occasionally nerve-wracking way to earn a living
And as for a name, what’s wrong with middledigit?

Great news Jonathan! I’m sure your new outfit will rock the cyberspacesses.
Would be great to work with you on a project here in Amsterdam.

Good luck Jonathan. I admire anyone that has the balls to go out on their own. Drop by for a pint or a greasy spoon (or both) when you’re next in W1. All the best, Wadds
