New Job: Senior Lecturer in Digital Marketing @ManMetUni #thisgirlcan

Just a short update. On Monday I was interviewed for the permanent role of Senior Lecturer in Digital Marketing at Manchester Metropolitan University, based at the Business School (lovely new building). I used this presentation, focusing upon #thisgirlcan as the case study for ‘best digital marketing campaign in the world’ as taught to final year undergrads! Thanks to the many people who cheered me on, and partook in discussions on Facebook/Twitter…  and the crazy buzzing noise my phone has been making since I shared the news on Facebook/Twitter! It was nice not to need to go to this interview this morning as well 🙂 Meantime – my new office will be in here somewhere:

I look forward to starting September 1st, in between which I will be at the Fandom and Religion Conference in Leicester, speaking at the end of New Wine A and beginning of New Wine B, writing a new chapter for the second edition of this book (pref by end of this week), article for Preach magazine, and see how far I get with a journal article on anonymity online, and a book from @bigbible… and just the small matter of completing sale on house, finding somewhere to live in Manchester, moving, and a meeting with new employers to ensure know what we’re kicking off with ready for academic year 2015/16!

P.S. Here’s a “flattering” (ha!) photo of me taking the phone call – captures the moment!
