Bumped into Culture Secretary Andy Burnham earlier this evening on his way to a dinner with ITV boss Michael Grade. Oh to be a fly on the wall around that table. Was product placement the elephant in the room?
Anyway, he told me that his missus - Burnham's word not mine - is a marketer. Providing she is a real marketer, and not a phoney one in the Deborah Meaden mould, this surely bodes well for marketing as she will hopefully bend his ear if he plans anything detrimental to the industry.
Unfortunately he was whisked away by his special advisers before I could find out where she works. If one of the thousands of readers of this blog could let me know that would be great as I'm really quite curious.
