I've got my dream job, but if I didn't, I'd be right on down to see the people over at Mind Candy about their vacancy for head of PR (amongst the raft of other marketing hires on the go over there right now). I've made no secret of how much of a fan I am of Mind Candy's concepts, more specifically, the PR genius that was Perplexcity, "one of the most powerful guerilla marketing mechanisms ever invented" according to media reviews [I wrote a review of its PR in April last year].
The small mention in The Guardian over the weekend gives little away as to what the head of PR will be head of, exactly, as followers of Mind Candy will know that Perplexcity is no longer running. The paper does go so far as to say that Mind Candy is developing a new online virtual world for kids. Go to Mind Candy's site, though, and you get much more info on the new gig.
You can also see a bit about the Mind Candy job on their ad on the PR Job Watch group on Facebook
