Guru promoted

Congratulations to Anthony Browne, newly-appointed Head of Multi-Platform Commissioning at BBC Scotland - seen by many as the No 2 post in that part of the organisation. 

Mr Browne, 44 ( Holyrood Secondary School and BA Communications and Media Glasgow Caledonian University) likes skateboarding and Playstations, and came to the BBC through marketing and digital jobs with various bookstorees and East Renfrewshire Council.  He spends a good proportion of time on Twitter politely noting that he has been wrongly tagged, confused with Anthony Browne, the Tory MP for South Cambridgeshire, spookily once a BBC business journalist.  

The Scottish Mr Browne has made his name at Pacific Quay as Co-Creator of The Social, a BBC collection of short videos, longer features and podcasts made with younger people largely new to tv.  This was their breakthrough.
