Bryan Fuhr Makes Meaningful Differences in Digital Space

photo.jpg

As AKQA’s latest strategy/planning hire, Bryan Fuhr is described by his peers as intensely smart, positive, and at times polarizing.

“People either love him or hate him,” a former colleague remarked. “But (no one) is liked by everyone.”

Fuhr started at AKQA in June of this year, where he bears the director of strategy title. He replaces Craig Walmsley, who married another AKQAer, Katie Harris (now Walmsley). After marrying, the pair moved back to AKQA London where they first met.

In his new role, Fuhr and other planners (Matt Oschner and Jessica Drapiza) are working to get their ideas right before going after the next big get. But his career is more than just a job &#151 it’s an altruistic attempt at clearing noise out of the digital space. It’s also penance for a mistake he made six years ago.

More after the jump.

A Quick Chat with Annette Stover Reminds us Why We Don’t Attend Events

After the Advertising Women of New York (AWNY) luncheon ended, and Annette Stover (COO Euro RSCG) finished shaking hands with fellow honorees (she was one of many being “watched”), we got a couple minutes to ask her some generally lame questions.

I say lame because I was told (before the event) that Stover wouldn’t be able to answer questions about Euro’s latest business venture &#151 a 51 percent stake in The:Hours, a start-up music label. WTF?! It’s all I wanted to talk about.

Tis what it is. Still, I found her unwillingness to talk about the matter strange since according to her profile, she plays a pivotal role in new business (as well as operations and communications). And, not to point out the obvious or anything, but The:Hours falls into the “new business” category, since it’s new and business. So check out what I was “allowed” to ask her about, after the jump.
