Clarence Mitchell, the ex-BBC presenter famous for being the spokesman for Madeleine McCann's parents, is the new UK MD of Burson-Marsteller.

Mitchell will report to UK CEO Matt Carter and will provide strategic counsel to corporate and public affairs clients.

Carter told PRWeek: ‘Clarence has first-class experience in handling the media, as a BBC journalist, a government media adviser and someone who’s faced the cameras regularly on behalf of his clients. He’s a great addition to B-M’s UK team.’

Mitchell was most recently director of media strategy and public affairs at Lewis PR, a role he combined with his duties as official media spokesman for Kate and Gerry McCann. Before that he was a consultant with Freud Communications.

Mitchell left Lewis PR in July as reported in PRWeek.

Mitchell also held the position of director of the Conservative Party's Election Media Monitoring Unit, reporting directly to director of communications Andy Coulson.

Before moving into government comms and PR, he was a news correspondent and presenter with BBC News.

He said of the move: ‘With Burson-Marsteller’s global reach and evidence-based approach to communications, I know it’s an environment I will thrive in. I’m excited by the campaign challenges to come.’

Oh my! Big company, isn't it?

WOW!

I thought the haters said Clarrie was all washed up, curse of the McCanns, tock tick and all that.

Wrong, as usual.

WOW, well done Clarence Mitchell

Imbecile on MM:

7 MDs in one office.............probably the office has only one toilet, which of course must be the executive toilet. Therefore all 7 people in the office have to be executives or sit with their legs crossed throughout their working day.


No, dear, hard though it may to be for you to grasp it, B-M are a HUGE HUGE international company; they have lots of MDs because they have lots of different sectors of interest.

The logo ('picture' for stupid people) may give you a clue:



Here is another picture for you:



Start to get the idea? Clarrie has got a very, very good job indeed, and no doubt is being paid megabucks.

PS - it has offices in nearly 100 countries, so I expect it has more than one toilet.

Well, they ain't going to like this, are they. Clarence has got far too many teeth for them.
What a lark. They get everything wrong. What's next, I wonder.

Actually, even I've got more than one toilet, and I'm not an MD of anything.

Perhaps this gutter filth have still only got a Privy Midden.
