Tongue lashes out on hiring Annik Skelton
Sydney-based writer Annik Skelton has joined the expanding team at start-up ideas agency, Tongue. Skelton will put her creative skills to use and will work on all types of marketing communications across a variety of campaigns for key clients. Says Jonathan Pease, executive ideas director for Tongue: "We're extremely excited to have Annik on board. She brings a unique voice to Tongue's creative team, and we're confident our clients will benefit from her fresh perspective."
Skelton cut her teeth at the Interactive Advertising Bureau of
Australia as Manager of Industry Services, and also was highly involved
with the Australian Interactive Media Industry Association.
As well as making her mark in the blogosphere, Skelton is a well-known Twitter personality, notorious for her tongue-in-cheek commentary and unique methods of story-telling.
"I love entertaining people," says Skelton. "I'm thrilled to be joining Tongue and look forward to contributing to and learning from the team."
Skelton's appointment is one of several following Tongue's launch in September this year.

So she hasn't written anything yet.
That has gotta be the world's shittest logo.
Being a copywriter, I wanted to spray some hate around in here, then i read her stuff and laughed cause she's good.
Shame on me?
Clearly. Her reputation obviously doesn't precede her.
I met her once and she is rather entertaining and after reading her work I can she that she is a good writer.
"executive ideas director"??
I wanted to pick on her too... but her blog is rather addictive. Might even have to come back and read more later.
Go JP - you've come a long way.
Your old red-headed college bud.
C u for a beer some time.
Better photo
I am at a loss for words.
Tongue you're not up to your old tricks of talking up your own stuff in the comments section are you?
"all types of marketing communications across a variety of campaigns for key clients"
It's just this kind of literary acuity that makes reading PR releases so rewarding.
I wanna like them but their website is so unusable I cant find out why they exist. If they actually do 'digital' then why is the site so poor from a usability perspective? The entire site is flash and no sub pages have unique urls... VERY POOR EFFORT from an agency saying they do 'digital'. Build my website? Not in a million years. Tragic!
'Executive Ideas Director' - that was Naked's idea.
More Tongue jokes please.
Come on you guys, she's just starting out.
Stop this bullying. She is loverly in pink.
And I love the Tongue logo.
So out there, so new school in an old-school-Rolling Stones Sticky-Fingers kind of way. Oh, so Retro
Looking forward to the next Tongue lashing and oral pun.
Very refreshing. Makes me feel like crawling across the floor for a beer.
Welcome to the industry Annik.
Have a very happy Christmas.
Or a happy holiday.
Whatever.
