Mumbrella is nine – We’ve joined the two commas club
In his annual update for readers, founder Tim Burrowes offers an update on Mumbrella’s progress.
So I must admit, I’m finding this one quite hard to write. I’ve deleted the intro and started again several times across the weekend.
And I just can’t get it right.
So I think I’d better just come out and say it: we’ve had a great year.
Ghastly and smug, isn’t it? I won’t blame you if you stop reading right now.
Congrats Tim and all at Mumbrella. Thank you Josie for your guidance and acceptance of my submissions, and cheers to Alex – best of luck wherever you end up.
Congratulations Tim on Mumbrella. As a long time reader it has been certainly a valuable source of news and information. I remember meeting you in the early days when you were speaking at a function in Adelaide when you said that you hoped it would work! It has certainly worked and may your success continue.
Just one pickup in this article you wrote about Tony Fruare and how he “began to spend a few hours a week with Martin and I.” (Did you get taught to take out the third person and see if it makes sense?)
If the sentence read “a few hours a week with I” it obviously does not make sense. It should have been “Martin and ME”. The use of “I” instead of “me” unfortunately is an ever increasing disease regrettably not helped by many journalists..
“(Alex, incidentally, will be leaving us in the next few days.)”
Is there more on this news? Alex, has, for me at least, been the ‘face’ of Mumbrella in the market for the last couple of years and I would just like to wish him well with whatever the future holds.
I’ve always rather enjoyed these end-of-year notes… sounds like a great year at your place, hard earned but well deserved. Many congrats, and wishing you and the team a merry Xmas, happy holidays, and an even more successful 2018.
Congratulations Tim, Martin and the team – and most of all for the way you have embraced all parts of the marketing sector – including business events. As a major organiser of business events through the Mumbrella 360 conference and exhibition as well as all your other face-to-face gigs, this has been most fitting and we look forward to working together again in 2018. Farewell to Alex Hayes – sad to hear he is leaving as he has been a great member of your team.
Big congrats Tim and the team and regards to Alan Pardew!
(Didn’t WHU do well against Chelsea on the weekend too! Alan must be very happy today.)
Congrats, Tim. As someone who’s followed Mumbrella since it launched, it’s fantastic seeing how you’ve grown it so successfully over the years. And I for one am loving your Best of the Week emails – I really hope you decide to keep writing them.
Merry Christmas!
Congrats Tim and team, very impressive
Well done Tim. It’s a great story, well told and you’re clearly doing it right. The return of long form journalism, in any format, is something to be applauded and congratulations on your success. Long may it continue.
can we please get 360 (or something else) in Melbourne next year?
The silence from Ad News (I’ve already given up on BandT) on this is a disgrace. There’s a point when being scared to say anything that might start to offend an advertiser starts to look like complicity
