City Moxie Management Changes

Posted by on Fri, Dec 12, 2008 at 4:50 PM

Moxie Media, the hot local political consulting firm, is going through a management change. John Wyble, who has been with Moxie for about eight years, is leaving to start his own firm, WinPower Strategies, which will focus on local races. Lisa MacLean, the other well-known partner in the firm, will be staying put and will continue to focus more on national campaigns.

Both said the change is amicable.

“Nothing acrimonious," said Wyble. "It’s mostly because Lisa’s doing a lot of national work and I’m doing a lot of local work.”

"It’s a very amicable division of the company," MacLean said. "We are pursuing separate individual ventures moving forward."

I asked each of them where they'd be working now that they're no longer partners in the business, which is based in Fremont. Wyble told me MacLean would be working from home. MacLean said: “John’s going to move out an have an office somewhere else.”

Not exactly coordinated talking points.

But, figuring it was possible I'd misheard (it's been a distractingly giddy afternoon here at The Stranger offices) I called Wyble back. He explained: MacLean has been working from home a lot lately because of her young kids, but in terms of office space she's staying in the Fremont office with Henry Underhill, the other Moxie partner. Wyble will be finding other office space.

Do you think now that the air has gone out of almost every bubble, we can be spared hearing about some "hot new firm" in Seattle which (a) never makes a net profit (b) is floated entirely on venture capital, and (c) is merely bought by some other business slower and stupider than it.

Oh, ZH, even Costco ain't doing so hot.

Small caps stocks - buy and hold now until about Summer 09.

Trust me, it's where to be.

Moxie Media is a terrible name.

But not as bad as Choxie, Target's signature chocolate (with moxie. Naturally.)
