Goodbye LBi, Hello Mayhem
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
- MR. TAMBOURINE MAN
A change is as good as a holiday, they say. Well, after ten brilliant years at the company now known as LBi, it’s time for a change. I wasn’t looking for anything, but an opportunity came along that, had I turned it down, I’d probably regret for the rest of my life. More on this here; I plan to keep this blog going strong – time and lawyers permitting.
To all my LBi colleagues, thanks for the wonderful times, the beers and the things you’ve taught me. You’ve got an awesome gig going, and the road ahead looks rosy. In particular, thanks to the exec for their vision and guidance, the technical architects for all their wisdom, and my development teams for fucking up far less projects than the industry average.
To the Dream Team (@mislip, @laurajaybee, @dacrumb, @skinnybouffant and @shakster), congrats on a job well done and I’ll be watching a certain site with eager anticipation. And a huge huge thanks to my boss, Mark, for keeping me honest for the last few years.
To end my Paltrow-esque blubbering – to all my wonderful, well-informed clients that read this blog, thanks for letting me go near your projects, and for making most of the work a pleasure.
We’ll always have The Pride. It’s been real.
P.S. If anyone wants my old job (the best job at the best agency in London), mail careers@lbi.com for the attention of Mark Agar and the subject “I want Jon’s old job”. I’m serious.

Congratulations Jon – look forward to hearing how it works out. Cheers, Neil
Congrats Jon. Now if you’d just figure out how to deal with the whole ‘new baby’ excuse, you should be able to get to SF in May!
@sliewehr

This, just because Janus unfollowed you? Bit extreme, isn’t it?
I expect to see hundreds of influential tweeters resigning in a blind panic when Janus unfollows then. Seems like a reasonable reaction to a serious crisis. Did you make the cut?
Seems like a very appropriate action. I’m not planning on unfollowing anyone tomorrow, but you never knows. If the situation calls for it I might have to
Congrats on the new job!
Can’t wait to hear about the next gig…
Looks like we are both in the same place then… Will watch this space and others with interest.
You’ll be sorely missed Jon, but it’s been an honour working with you. Best wishes with the new role (and the new bub).
Congrats Jon.
I hope we’ll keep in touch.
all the best
So you’re going to wear suits right?

Let me quote one of my favourite songs of all time, by an artist called Rodriquez who was popular in South Africa and nowhere else. Buy the album – http://www.amazon.com/Cold-Fact-Rodriguez/dp/B001BKVWYG
Nice one. We’ll have to wait I guess!
Here is a good game. See if you can spot the Agency guy on the British Computer Society panel based purely on dress code … http://ossg.bcs.org/wp-content/uploads/The-Panel.jpg
Hehe, you punk
Ch ch ch changes, highly recommend every decade or so
Jon, congratulations on the new job – can’t wait to hear what it is. Remember you still owe me a cold beer (or is it the other way around).

Jon, having just googled mayhem then it appears you are either joining a night club in Southend on Sea or a Norwegian black metal band – both appear perhaps unlikely but then, who am I to judge. I wait with much eagerness for the black metal cover version of Girl from the North County.
It appears you can now vote on what my new job is (or maybe should be):

It’s not *that* exciting people. Calm down everyone.
Joining a FIGHT club, maybe.. Project Mayhem, non?
