Welcome to our new Engagement Strategy Director, James Whatley

We’re delighted to welcome James Whatley as part of the 1000heads team.

James comes to us from the world’s leading voice-to-text company Spinvox, where he was Head of Digital and Social Media. He is also well known in the space as founder of The Mobile Geeks of London meetup group, co-founder of The Really Mobile Project, an online mobile review show, and advisor to the mobile web-based twitter service, Dabr. Check out his blog, Twitter, FriendFeed, Tumblr, YouTube or Flickr, or drop along to London’s Tuttle Club, where he can be found most Friday mornings. This is what he had to say about his appointment as Director for Engagement Strategy at 1000heads:

“I’ve been aware of and worked alongside many different people from 1000heads (aka ‘the word of mouth people’) over the past four years, and they’ve always impressed me with their ideas, professionalism and more than anything else, their ethics. We’ve often shared stories about our respective projects & conversation ideals and very recently I had the opportunity to talk to them much more openly about my long term plans and ambitions.

It was the synergy that came from these meetings that made me realise that working with 1000heads was clearly the next logical step in my career. When it transpired that they felt the same way, everything just fell into place…

I am absolutely over the moon about joining the ‘heads and can’t wait to sink my teeth into the work ahead. I’ve already been into the office to meet some of the team and I’m going to spend this coming week getting up to speed with the accounts, campaigns and overall strategies I’ll be working on in the coming months.”

Here’s to the continuation of a beautiful relationship…
