The news was wonderful to hear. Paull Young lands a great job in New York City. And, he’ll be working with another great guy, too.

The release said it all. “Converseon today named Paull Young as a senior account executive in its New York headquarters. Young, author of the Young PR blog and a respected PR blogger and podcaster, will execute social media strategies for Converseon’s clients, reporting to Converseon’s director of social media, Constantin Basturea.”

I have to say, any firm with both Constantin and Paull is definitely a firm to reckon with in social media. Others are likely taking notice of this pairing. They should. Constantin is top notch.

Paull even got props from the Converseon CEO. Pretty cool. “Paull embodies what Converseon is all about,” said Converseon CEO Rob Key. “He offers passion, innovation, commitment and a desire to push the edges of digital communications where possible. We’re delighted to have such a talent as part of our team.”

You can check out all the news yourself. Visit Paull’s post, Constantin’s post, and the the media release. Paull even put a little podcast in his post about the news.

And, to top it all off, there is even a post by Erin Caldwell at Forward blog. Paull has contributed there and headed up their podcasting efforts, too. Erin started Forward while she was at Auburn and has created opportunities for students, like Paull was when he began contributing, with her efforts.

I’m particularly happy, for somewhat selfish reasons, to learn of Paull’s success. He was our first international student to blog at PRblogs.org. Paull turned those terrific efforts into gold. I hope other students will learn from his success story.

So, three “cheers” for Paull. Much deserved news, Paull. Have fun in New York.
