A new era

Watch out, Hill & Knowlton has a new global head of digital.

Julie Atherton, previously head of our online communications team in the US, has been appointed to take over the role from Tony Burgess-Webb who founded the practice back in 1995. Tony is now H&K's chief marketing officer, so as the agency's marketing technologist I still get to spend (too much?) time working with him.

I've also had the pleasure of spending some time with Julie on my infrequent visits to the US, and am sure she will do a great job.

I know she's been looking for an excuse to set up a blog here on Collective Conversation, so what better time... ;-)

  I think it would be fitting for Julie to be the first new blogger as we launch the new version of Collective Conversation.  Niall just has to accept your application!
