BREAKING BROOKLINE AVE. NEWS! - SVP Andy Kingston Out at the Phoenix
By Media Farm on Thu, Jan 3, 2008 1:49 pm
Another one bites the dust! Andy Kingston, Senior Vice President and long time Mindich-guru at the Phoenix Media Group announced his departure in a letter to the staff yesterday. In what can only be seen as yet another cost cutting shake-up at 126 Brookline Ave., Mr. Kingston bids fare-well to the never-rising burning bird. See letter below (and take note, if you're hiring, Andy's looking!):
From: "Kingston, Andy"

Subject: Some news to share
Dear friends,
I want to share the news with you that after 20 years with the Phoenix Media Communications Group (including 3 years here prior to working for FOX TV and CBS Radio) I have decided to pursue the next stage of my career. It has certainly been an enjoyable experience playing an integral role in the growth and evolution of the PMCG over the years; I will always love this company AND all of the great people working here. However, the 20 year mark forced me to be a bit introspective and realize that I was at a crossroads in my life which called for a change. I spoke to Brad (President of the PMCG) many weeks ago so we could create a timeline that worked for both of us. We announced my decision to our staff prior to the Christmas break. I’ll be staying on as SVP through the middle of January and then will take on an external transition role for a couple more months while I search for my next career step (and perhaps catch a couple of powder days on the slopes!).
While I plan to do a thorough exploration, I expect to end up in the marketing, advertising or media worlds. If you come across any opportunities that you think might be a good fit, please feel free to give me a shout.
Certainly one of the best parts of my Phoenix Media Group experience has been getting to know people like you. Hopefully, we’ll get the chance to continue working together in some capacity in the future. I wish you a very healthy and successful year in 2008!
All my best,
Andy Kingston
