If you
haven't got a clue what account planning is then click here

If
you're from outside the UK then Welcome! A lot of the material may
still be useful to you. I am considering becoming an associate for Amazon.com
so stateside planners can start to built up their own drinks fund. The idea
is that the 15% commission on every book sold becomes a pot that gets spent.
I guess the best way would be to arrange a drinks convenor at the annual USAPG
conference and you could drink it then. Let me know if you're interested!

If
you're a planning director you'll be on the lookout for planners
to hire - there are never enough- and freelance planners.
If you want
to find a planner then why don't you ask for one by posting a vacancy on the
Post room community area site? If you want to be discreet then contact
me and I can give you an email address linked to this site to hide your identity.
By the end
of the summer I hope to have a directory live and kicking so planners find it
a lot easier to track YOU down. So I am working on making it a lot easier to
put planners and planning directors together.
If you want
freelancers then go and look at the People
page for the resources I have assembled for you so far. We have over two centuries
of planning experience available in the freelances listed! Most of them
are ex planning directors.
If you want
headhunters or short term staff then again go and look at the People
page. Go on why don't you?!
If
you're a planner you'll be on the lookout for resources and ideas.
There's a that
should get you thinking. Planning used to be exclusively about advertising.
There's a lot more to account planning than advertising and this area aims to
open all of that up.
There's
a bookshop linked to Amazon
UK with one of the largest selections of books of interest to planners
you'll find anywhere. I've read most of them - so you'll find my reviews there.
The commission earned
on books sold via this site will go behind a bar in Soho twice a year and you'll
be very welcome to come and drink it until the tab's gone!
And there are
pages of links and quotations, an to finding research agencies offering internet specific
products - the MRS directory isn't a lot of help on this at the moment.
If you're looking
for a job well I hope to persuade planning directors to advertise vacancies
in the community area. Click here
to check if I have succeeded!

If
you're a freelance planner you'll be on the lookout for work.
I'll be adding a database of the planning directors of the top communications
agencies in the UK as soon as I have compiled it. If you want a reminder every
month or so of what has changed on the site you can sign up for a newsletter

To quote the

So let's talk.
