EightBlack.

I don’t know about you, but the year seems to be picking up pace, not slowing down.

David Galt, our Client Services Manager starts a new career with our client Webjet in a week or two. This is an outcome you only ever hear about - not actually witness. More on this later. I couldn’t be happier for Dave. I’m a little stressed about how we’ll try and “replace” him, but we’ll cope. Sort of. You know the management saying that “no one is indispensible”. Thats mostly true and I subscribe to it. But Dave comes close to proving this statement to be a complete lie, in the regard that he just may be nearly impossible to replace.

We’re looking for a Junior Account Manager - the position overview is here.

And we’ve opened offices in London and San Francisco this past quarter.

We also are pushing hard into the web analytics space, with concurrent training with 2 of the world’s most respected platforms continuing (with Google and Omniture), resulting in certification for our team.

I’m hoping to announce the Head of Analytics for Eight Black in a week or so. Stay tuned.

Travel schedule - for those who are interested in where our (my) focus is for the remainder of the year.

1. Seth Godin’s small gathering in New York, September 6. More here.

2. Web 2.0 Summit - San Francisco, October 17-19. I’m delighted that I’ve been accepted to attend Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco. Like we did for Web 2.0 Expo earlier this year, I’ll be blogging live from the event. Man, was this a tough gig to gain entry to. Attendance by invite only.

3. Blog World Expo - Las Vegas, Nov 8-9. One of the most important relationships we’ve developed in 2007 is with Dave Taylor. Dave and I spent a half a day together recently and Blog World Expo is his baby. I’m glad I introduced Avinash Kaushik to Dave, as Avinash is now a part of the speaking line-up at Blog World. This should be a great event - 5000+ attendees expected and some of the most serious bloggers on the planet in attendance.
