Media legend Virginia Hollis resigns

Media legend Virginia Hollis resigns
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Every business goes through change.  Ours is no different. The one thing that every successful business has in common, is that the whole is always a lot stronger than any of the parts. The share price of Apple Computers for example, is currently sitting at $544 – up nearly 50% since the death of Steve Jobs. That is what great companies do.

I consider The MediaShop to be a great company too, built on a group of different people, and not just the strength of one individual. We are all different, which makes us all strong in our own unique way.

Our company is about to go through a change as well, in that one of our “founding partners” is leaving us.

It is with great sadness that I have to announce that Virginia Hollis has resigned and will be leaving the company with effect end June 2012.

Virginia wants to move back to her first love, which is writing media strategy full time. Writing strategy is what she loves doing, and what she is really good at.

She is not moving to a competitor, and plans to become a freelance media strategist. Her first client that she has agreed to work with is a brilliant company called The MediaShop! Virginia, will continue to work with the team here for the next few months, ensuring that the clients get handled and managed efficiently, and will still be a sounding board for strategic advice.

The management team of The MediaShop would like to thank Virginia for her hard work and efforts. She is so much part of why this great company has become what it has.

Chris started his life in media when he was a student at the University of the Free State. He ran the local campus radio station (RSFM) and was the proud presenter of the sport show. When The MediaShop won the ABSA account in 1999 he joined the team, and except for an 18 month sojourn at Starcom, has been with the company ever since. He grew his media knowledge working on brands such as Nando’s, MINI, Virgin Mobile, ABSA as well as his retail clients which include Shoprite Checkers and the JD Group.
