2011 is going to be a big year for 1000heads; we’re formally opening several offices across the globe (many of which are already hiring, by the way) and the entire team seems to have come back from the Christmas break with a renewed sense of ambition and direction. It’s electric.
For myself, having spent 2010 defining (and refining) the engagement strategy for the company both internally and externally, it’s time to move onto pastures new*.
When I hit my year anniversary back in October, a conversation began about where we (1000heads and I) could go next. What did we decide? Well…
I’m about three weeks into my new role** and, as the challenges ahead grow ever larger and more exciting, I’m this close to being in the perfect position to knock every single one of them out of the park.
Bring. It. On.

Fantastic news Mr. Dude, long may it continue.
Thanks J
Congrats to you also on your recent IMDb listing 🙂
Congrats mate – fantastic news. I still think you should launch the Whatley underwear and fragrance line though…
Whatleypants FTW
(and thank you mate – beer/coffee next week?)
very nice dude, congratulations on that!
i definitely second Ben here! i’d also design a t-shirt line. “I, the Dude”
🙂
To paraphrase: “If you make them, they will sell…”
(I want them at the next meet up dude!)
love the positivity 🙂
so does that mean you will be marketing 1000heads, rather than 1000heads esteemed clients?
Thanks Dan, my focus is indeed now a little bit more on the 1000heads side of things (taking ownership of our industry opinion pieces, award entries, website, PR – the list goes one) but hopefully, in doing that, I’ll be leveraging the awesome work we do with our esteemed clients…
You’ll still be seeing me here and there, don’t worry 😉
Congratulations!! Agreed, great start to the New Year 🙂
Thanks fella, right back at you too for securing another 6mths in the Dam! Look me up when you get back would ya?
Congratulations James. Your enthusiasm is infectious, always has been.

Congratulations James, I know you’ll definitely be a force to be reckoned with in 2011! Nokia needs a lot of help as well. Any expansion plans around Australia / South East Asia?
Thanks Adrian, I’ll be doing my very best to keep things moving forward, don’t worry about that! 🙂
(Australia is in my sights too)
I know I’m a slacker for only just commenting on this, but that’s amazing, dude. You definitely deserve it, you do an awesome job at whatever you do. Fingers crossed we can still make SXSW happen, so I can finally buy you a beer.
