Go, Read: Ron Richards’ Farewell Message Re: Image

It's here. That went up yesterday. Richards' departure from the publisher is the second in as many weeks, with Jennifer De Guzman departing before him.

Richards' formal title was Director of Business Development, but he may have had his hands in a ton of pies at a company like that. I think of him as putting some general directives in place in terms of marketing, social media and big-show presence, and I assume he gets some if not a significant amount of credit for Image's mostly-successfuly, con-like Image Expos. The company has certainly grown over the last couple of years during the time that he's been on board.

I would assume that some people will put some stock in his naming the majority as praiseworthy rather than the entirety -- that even jumped out at me, and I'm pretty ignorant of anything going on at any of the companies in a way that would have me parsing phrases like that one.

It doesn't sound like he has any immediate plans. I wish him the best in terms of figuring that out.
