I like the idea of ‘buzz director’ though I wish we could get away from the idea that it has to be a position within an individual organization. My idea is a bit more ambitious — we need buzz directors that are beholden to ideas or values more than a corporate logo (even if it is a ‘non profit’).

That said, I really really like your idea and wish that more organizations had someone with this position. What will be needed to make this happen will be acceptance within organizations about the simple desire to communicate in a timely and accurate manner. Bring on the institutional wikis, bring on the buzz!

Thank you very much

That’s really helpful for me Steve – and the reminder of your older post which sets it out nicely. I’ll feed it into our thinking for future government communications.

You've just described my job pretty darn well. Note to self -- ask for title change!

I would add some traditional marketing skills here. It's hard to report success to senior management if you don't know what they expect to hear.
