I'm pleased to announce I've taken a job as @awscloud's new head of marketing.
AWS: "Wait, we didn't--"
While AWS may not be aware that I've been offered this role, much less accepted, I don't see why that should matter.

Now that @akelman is no longer running the operation, there are some changes coming; let me detail them for you.
re:Invent will be renamed "AWS Complex Queueing Service" because let's face it: that's what it is.
The new Head of Visual Design role will go to @awsgeek, both because he's phenomenal at it, and because I'm drunk with power.
We're going to stop firing the Email Cannon at subordinate accounts in your AWS Organizations, because it seems kinda funny that we send all you 50 copies of the same email.
The re:Invent House Band will be sent to live out its days at a farm upstate. You're welcome, everyone.
Our "Day Two" marketing campaign will be terminated immediately, regardless of what it costs to break our ad agreements. We're deeply sorry this ever saw the light of day.
You may now begin any service with either "AWS" or "Amazon," to your preference. It's estimated this will save six centuries a year in person-hours when it comes to slide review.
We're going to make sure that when you click "unsubscribe" to a marketing email that you don't have to type in your email address on the landing page. #customerobsession
Choose AWS: because what the hell else are you going to do?
Other changes in my new fake job!
I don't care if you're the SVP of Corporate Comms, "I don't speak for AWS" is going in your bio. Just because it amuses me to read it.

We're going to begin seeding the press with fake stories. "AWS Moonbase" is a go!
The Free Tier will either change form or name, because right now it's a trap for the unwary.
We're going to change up some of our internal talking points. "We embrace frugality" and "airport ads" are difficult to do at the same time.
