Wow. It’s been a busy few months since my last post on September 20. I need to learn how to juggle blogging, while at the same time serving our clients.

I have a lot of things I’d like to blog about since my last post, for example, working with the media at Interbike, meeting my cycling hero Greg LeMond in the Media Center at the show, and taking a road trip vacation to Colorado - mountain biking and hiking along the way, etc. I’ll write about those later.

This week was a busy week, but a good one. Monday, November 12, we were in New York City for the PepCom Digital Focus media reception. We took our new client, Delta 7 Sports.

bug_lo-res.jpgBy the way, we have filled the open job position at SOAR Communications.

Maura Lansford, formerly (and officially) an Assistant Account Executive at Politis Communications, has accepted the full-time position as an AAE at SOAR Communications.

Maura has been actively involved in supporting SOAR clients on an as-needed basis almost since joining Politis Communications. She also proved invaluable in almost single-handedly overseeing media registration for Interbike 2006.

So . . . formally, the position at SOAR Communications is now closed.

However, Politis Communications is now looking for two or more account reps. PR/journalism background preferred. Good writing skills a must.

Any ideas? Reach me via email at dpolitis (at) politis.com or by calling 801-523-3730 xt. 11.
