Sims Digital Media
The first tentative steps have been taken and I am now my own Boss. SimsDigitalMedia is officially launched celebrated by me at my PC with a strong cup of coffee (is it tax deductable?). My first expensive typo has been made, too when I registered simsdigitlamedia.com as well. So now I’m going through the process of registering the company! First job - what title do I give myself? Managing Director sounds too … conventional. I tried Creative Director - but that sounds like I have a boss. Thought Director General - that’d be fun … but then again pompous and pretentious.
Some US New Media companies give their people great titles - Chief Evangelist, Head of Making Things Work, Director of Having Fun. Then I remembered that Northern Ireland is insanely conservative in business matters so Managing Director it will probably be.
"So, Mr. Sims, do you have any clients?" Well, yes I do. Two so far, and I’ve only been going for a week. And prospects, too - several/many. Should I be thinking of a public flotation before Christmas? Probably not.
So - here we are - available for web production, podcast production, radio production, training, and after dinner speaking. Also considered - voice overs (done an audition, already), more radio presentation, guest "expert", dish washing, bed making and general household duties.
Oh - and U105 have invited me back to do another show - Saturday 2 August 10.00 pm to 2.00 am which is good of them.
I have plenty of household duties that need doing - does SDM have a standard rate card for fitting patio slabs and putting up curtain rails?

Patio slabs are well out of my area of expertise - one might break a sweat - or small finger. But my ironing skills are second to none - unless “lady bumps” are involved - can’t iron round a bust line yet.

I gave myself a title then found within a year I wasn’t qualified for that position, so had to sack myself. Luckily I couldn’t do without myself and brought me back on more money.
