After two and a half years of working for CNW Group, I’ve made the difficult decision to leave and pursue another opportunity.

I say it was difficult decision because CNW has been more than just an amazing place to work. I spent the majority of my waking hours since 2007 at the company’s Bay Street headquarters, and the people here have become more than just colleagues. I mean, I’ve probably talked on the phone more with people in CNW’s Western Canada offices than I have with my mom in the past few years.

CNW, and the people there, gave me a ton of great opportunities that I might not have had elsewhere, and for that I’m truly thankful. When I was just a guy with a tan, sleeping on my friend’s couch, Laurie Smith (now CNW’s VP of Culture and Communication) took a chance on me and offered me a position as a Communications Coordinator. Since then, I’ve had a few different roles in a couple of different departments. In each case, my colleagues and managers were always supportive of what I was doing.

I will always look back at my time with CNW fondly, and while I certainly enjoyed the work I did there, I’m going to miss the people that worked there more.

Thanks for the great time, CNW. I hope we keep in touch.

Yours Truly,

-Parker Mason

P.S.: As sad as I am to be leaving CNW, I’m also super-excited to start the next stage of my life and career. I’ll fill you in on the details in a week or so (I’ll still be in Toronto). You can always reach me via e-mail (parker@blogcampaigning.com) or at Facebook.com/ParkerMason.

What’s the deal with this website?
You're reading BlogCampaigning. We write about public relations, social media, video games, marketing and pretty much whatever we feel is important. We've been around since August, 2006

Jens "Schredd" Schroeder has been around since the beginning, and he mostly writes about video games.

Heather Morrison is our newest recruit, and she also blogs about life in the big city at Toronto Uncovered.

All of the content on this site is cleaned up by Adam Gorley, our resident copy-editor. He does a hell of a job, and he also writes a few posts for us now and then. Not a lot of people know this, but he is also a soul music DJ who goes by the name "Night Danger."

Parker Mason is the self-described Editor-in-Chief of BlogCampaigning and runs the site with an iron fist. He's also a pretty great guy - you should meet him sometime.

Espen Skoland started this website a few years ago so that he could get extra marks for his thesis, but he's pretty much given up on contributing. Still, we often refer to him as The Legendary Founder. He might be lazy, but he left us with a legacy.
