I'm wit Chingy, at the Holidae In



Friends and Family,

Well, it’s official.

I gave my two weeks notice this morning. I am ending an 8-year career in the automotive advertising industry and jumping to hotels.

No, I am not the bellhop.

I have accepted a position with an ad agency in Historic Roswell called Ogilvy Action and will be the Group Account Director on the Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express brands. You can check out the agency at www.ogilvyaction.com. I’m looking forward to this challenge but also a little nervous to start something so new to me. The agency is made up of about 25 people and they want to double that number by next year. The agency is growing like crazy and I’m excited to be a part of that.

I want to thank everybody who has been praying for me during this time and I ask that you continue to do so as I not only start this new challenge but that of being a father (which scares me more than anything). Oh yeah, speaking of scary things – since Beth has been pregnant she has developed an uncontrollable snort that happens only once daily/nightly at around 3:30am every night. It sounds like the noise the vacuum makes when accidentally sucking up a shoe. She never wakes up during it…but of course, I do. Please pray for that.

Thanks again for everything you do for the both (three) of us,

Brian
