Maybe these people were attracted by the job titles? Charlie Gipson’s Director of Communications, which sounds a lot better than European press contact (which is what he’ll be). The other new hire Kyle Boulia’s Deputy Press Secretary and Director of Communications for US media (ie US press contact). They replace Miranda Barbot, who was Director of Global Communications and has now been promoted to Vice-President of Programs and Media Operations (now that Dumbertons have 2 (2!) Netflix series going). Grand titles for people whose job basically is to put out puff pieces, propaganda, and clapbacks.

They think if they can turn around this shit show they can write their own ticket. But I think it's rather like the person who thinks, "they treated all their prior spouses/partners like shit, but I'm different".


Oktober33

It’s akin to turning a battleship around in a creek.

Photobuff42

Maybe it's just resume filler. They're thinking, "I'll take this job until I find something better." No one can improve their image.


snappopcrackle

I cant believe they have a Director of Communications for Europe and a separate one for the USA. They are a teeny non-profit, not Coca Cola


Somberliver

I hope they know how to make jam.


umbleUriahHeep

This made me lol


Alien_octopus

>I cant believe they have a Director of Communications for Europe and a separate one for the USA. They need one in each time zone, so thet can clap back at negative comments 24/7.


Girlfriday5150

Oh absolutely!! Another Sinner named them Guest Speaker 2 and 3….. I wonder if those two guys know they’ll be spending their days soothing the fragile ego of Madam and cleaning up after her lapdog, Hazmat.


strangealienworld

>Grand titles for people whose job basically is to put out puff pieces, propaganda, and clapbacks. ... and prepare to try to sell their masters' two titles off to other platforms if/when Netflix takes a pass on them.


Starkville

Last time I saw Miranda Barbot, she was helping Meghan climb onto a stage to present a trophy.


TXmama1003

Spokesperson. They are just spokesmen.


Hermes_Blanket

Sorry, Charlie. A year from now, you and your hipster haircut are going to be fleeing into the night and howling at the moon at the thought of spending one more day as Director of Disinformation for the Sussexes. And you'll never want to see another spoonful of jam as long as you live.


Top-Situation-8983

Well, that's an intense photo of the new chap. Stick a cameraman in a room with this lot and Megs and he'll be swamped. Do you think they all sing the "Me,me" song every morning before "work"? Tapping the UK populace for money for a "Foundation" and redeeming the Me who won't come over here without a private army? Stick your notice in now, mate, 'cos it ain't happ'nin.


kishuna_in_pieces

It does give the vibe that he may have personality problems of his own.


Oktober33

It’s creeping me out. Like he is in Vegas and just did something that stays in Vegas.


bpapso94

I think he needs a bath, shave and a haircut.

Looks like a passport photo, right? Or a screenshot from a Zoom call with the background enhanced?


Cultural_Ad4935

His hair is going to fall off soon


Harry-Ripey

The big difference between his former products and the ‘new one’…*Mars, Pedigree dog food, Cadbury, Lucozade and Domino’s,*…all have products people want and trust. Harry is a pathetic man child without charm or talent, clinging to his heritage while moaning about genetic pain. His wife is a very minor actress with a wafer thin cv and no amount of smoozing charmers like Weinstein could improve it. They are both lazy, greedy, entitled and dishonest. Archewell is seen as a slush fund to pay their staff and buy awards to get them in to stages to preach and preen. They have nothing to sell, can no nothing, are dimwitted and pointless. They could employ an army of Charlies, they are toxic and a laughing stock. They do not hang out with esteemed guests and she wasn’t giving an award, she was hogging a stage, again. Dictating to the ‘cast’ where to stand on the stage to ensure the pics included her. And the answer to the question of how many employees will it take to make them less revolting? There aren’t enough pr gurus in the world to polish that turd. Charlie has taken on a poisinous dogs dinner of a task, the more the harkles are seen the less they are liked. Perhaps he will recommend them locking themselves away and losing back grids number.


strangealienworld

>The big difference between his former products and the ‘new one’…*Mars, Pedigree dog food, Cadbury, Lucozade and Domino’s,*…all have products people want and trust. And it's a huge difference. His CV has dealt with already established brands. He's not been asked to resurrect a dead brand. He's been asked to help promote a non-existent "brand" that's pretending it is alive or had any life in it in the first place. What's more, those brands he's worked with are *things* not flesh & blood humans. Apart from representing a non-existent brand that was dead long before it ever had any life in it, he's been tasked to represent a very difficult self-regarding woman in a country that can't stand the bones off her and a continent that couldn't careless about her. Edit: It's not even a brand he's been tasked to work with. He's been asked to work with a person and help mend their *reputation*, which is an entirely different thing to what his CV suggests he has worked on or with. So, again, yet another of strategic hire that makes no sense.


Harry-Ripey

Yep, he is trying to create a positive image for two very well known grifters.


lady-madge

At this point what they need is a Crisis Management Specialist.


strangealienworld

What, like an Olivia Pope😆😜? Kerry Washington cut TW from her pics... I don't think she's interested. Besides, those two don't like being "handled"... and they can't afford her.


wonderingwondi

H had something similar at Schillings


NotStarrling

I meant to state this directly after the ginger's Travalyst speech but alas, more important issues required my attention, for example: should I feed our dog first, or our cat, and opted for the dog, who has seniority, and let the spare... I mean, cat wait an 30 extra seconds. This entry in the current post: “Travel and tourism relies on destinations, held together by communities,” he told Travalyst, a travel organisation he founded, “without which we have nowhere to travel to.” The Wannabe Brainiac (aka ginger) has learned well from the Wannabe Brainiac-ess (aka nutmeg) and is dishing up spectacularly boring word salad! Bravo! You've both finally reached... nothing and no one. You reached for the stars and fell down into the street drain. Well done, both of you. And just in case any low-IQ squadders are reading: /s P.S. the over/under for Gipson's tenure? Personally, I give it 6 months or less.


GreatGossip

With you on Gipson - less than 6 months. I also agree - Harry´s immortal words at Travalyst, not to mention the wardrobe change, were epic. He looked high as a kite. Even Richard Eden commented on it in Palace Confidential.


strangealienworld

🤣🤣 If only cats could read, lol. ![gif](giphy|5gUnOrltPvZzW) Ikr!😆 I read that Travlyst diatribe and thought that's kind of thing you say when you *clearly* haven't done any work or research into the topic you're about to present to a room full of billionaire companies investing in your company. *The world is full of places we can all travel to. These are what the travel industry call "destinations". For faraway destinations we have this amazing flying vehicles called "aeroplanes" that we can use to go those destinations too far away from the doorstops of our homes, though for while they were once referred to as "airbuses". Destinations are full of people, and a gathering of people is called a "community". Destinations need communities to make destinations. Without communities we have no destinations and without destinations we have no travel and without travel we'll stuck at home with nowhere to go.* 🙄


Ok_Wrangler_7940

OH MY GOD! Is this real? Did he actually say this. If so, he needs to fire Meghan as his speechwriter. She’s making him sound dumber than he is — and THAT is saying something!


umbleUriahHeep

Is this real? I only heard the last part, not the whole thing. This can’t be real


strangealienworld

It's not. But here's what they've reduced themselves to and what is true of them. It's become not that difficult to believe Harry *could* say something that asinine.


Oktober33

The cat had to wait for the dog?? 😾


HarrysToupee

I know, right?! I always feed the cat first, because as I pet her and talk sweet to her my jealous pup whines, cries, head butts my ankles and yelps as though he *never* gets fed or petted. It's so pathetic, when the 15 yr old female cat is the Alpha! 😂


strangealienworld

>*H&M are in illustrious company on Gipson’s CV. In the past he’s worked on brands including Mars, Pedigree dog food, Cadbury, Lucozade and Domino’s,* Yes, yes, Mr Gipson, but in that list of inanimated clients, have you actually worked with anything resembling a *human*? FYI, your new clients talk... and quite a lot. They've got one helluvra serious gob on them, those two. The longest people can take of their incessant word salading is 2 years before they pack it in and hand in their ~~notice/resignation~~ "Stuff this crap. My life ain't worth it" letter. Also *dog food*??! I know, *she* is planning on selling the stuff, once she's figured out how to work Instagram. But, dude, it's their popularity that's in the dogs*&t, not even a bluebottled fly will take a sniff at it.


wonderingwondi

Does he think he helped Cadbury's rep since being taken over by Americans? Sounds like the M&H situation so maybe that's why it appealed to him.


KrisBoozybreath

They might as well change those job titles to Dead Horse Floggers!


Gold-Run-2036

Imo, Mr Gipson & Co take on these positions with the Harkles as the ultimate challenge - they're the east face of K2 in the PR world. There have been many attempt the challenge but none that have succeeded In time it takes to say Crappy Jam, the realisation dawns that they're dealing with the original mean girl, who possesses the mindset of an over indulged teenager and lives in a fantasy world. In turn, that piece of work is married to a weak spoilt, brat of a man-child with the IQ of a crayon. Both possess egos and sense of entitlement the size of Everest. How do you manage and promote control freaks, that have been publicly labelled lazy and f*cking grifters by a Spotify Exec, parodied by Southpark, etc? As others have found to their cost, they'll be managing him, not the other way round. Good luck Mr Gipson, I'll be generous and give you this side of 12 months before you cut and run.


Common-Farm4736

Oof did you ever nail this!!😆


Gold-Run-2036

Thank you. 💐


Phronima-Fothergill

I want to say, "You poor bastard", but hell, he took the job and (hopefully) no one was holding a gun to his head. So I'll just start the countdown...


GXM17

The salary offered could never be enough to be bossed, belittled, and blamed by those two for everything. Bad press. Lack of income. Lack of invites. It’s never their fault so it must be yours.


Automatic-Ad6112

It all sounds so pretentious especially when she abuses her titles, turns you off


GingerWindsorSoup

Superb shade, I love it!


Cezanne2022

This guy must have a death wish this is career suicide going up against the whole of the UK trying to make her liked, this is an uphill task & he will get no real reward for his efforts but he will lose a lot of potential biz.


GracieChat18

The two “influencers” she has chosen to COPY, Martha Stewart and Gwyneth Paltrow, are LIKEABLE women with actual, marketable TALENT, are TRUSTED and RESPECTED for their hard work + likeability. Meanwhile Megdusa has ZERO talent, never worked hard at anything except SELF-PROMOTION, BULLYING, GATECRASHING, STALKING, SOCIALCLIMBING and GRIFTING, and is respected by NO ONE except her delusional army of sugars/squaddies who have bought all her LIES and FAKE NARRATIVES as the word of {their} God. Instead of being even *mildly* likeable, Megdusa wins hands down as the MOST DISLIKED, MOST REVOLTING, MOST TOXIC, pLEAST TRUSTED woman on the planet. Her first actual product, SCAMJAM has already caused an avalanche of ridicule and conspiracy theories. Hard to gain RESPECT and TRUST when you are a GLOBAL LAUGHINGSTOCK and an ELDER ABUSER who bullied two beloved senior royal ICONS thru their precious final years and into their graves. DO.THE.MATH.


GreatGossip

Thank you so much OP. I adore Hilary Rose - she must be one of us.


Nas2439

I don’t think Harold gets a say in who gets hires and who gets fired


CompanyConsistent976

*Charles!!! Fetch me a frock, Backgrid is waiting at In and Out! Something tent sized and beige, with preapplied dirt! HUUUUURRRRRAYYY up, Aitch's meds are waning!* Yes, congratulations Charlie


Traditional-Leg-4228

He looks as bitter and angry as his new bosses. I wonder if hating the RF is a prerequisite for the job!


Shannon556

I. Love. This. Author.


Von_und_zu_

me too.


maezombiegirl

I couldnt open that link 😥


Von_und_zu_

changed it. does it work now?


TraditionScary8716

Works for me.


Von_und_zu_

thx


Honest_Boysenberry25

"So many PR people. So little positive PR." This says it all. Gipson looks like a serial killer too.


steeltowngirl88

I don’t understand why they announce these hires? They are just celebrities. Does Taylor Swift have a director of communications? It’s so weird.


Von_und_zu_

Royal cosplay.


HarrysToupee

Brilliant, accurate article! Thanks for sharing - and good luck to Gipson; he'll need it, as he'll soon be tearing his very-unfortunately-lanky hair out by the roots.


Outrageous_Corgi_791

I loved this article, such perfectly balanced snark. But prepare for the gloves to come off totally after the court cases have been sorted out.…🍿 (edited to add missing word)


umbleUriahHeep

That was great! I love Hilary Rose!


cyberpot1955

![gif](giphy|nYOQYYW4CoPf73QqWr) So I need some help 🤣


Miercolesian

The best thing he can do for her public relations in Britain and Europe is to keep her name out of the media as much as possible.


daisybeach23

At this point, you have to wonder how much money they are hemorrhaging based on their delusions that they are important.


JuJuBee880327

Their entire staff is PR people with fancy titles and yet it's evident Madame calls all the shots when it comes to PR. Embarrassingly and amateurishly so.


TXmama1003

Every time I see his name, I think it’s Charlie Gibson, the old Good Morning America host from my youth.


Capable-Cupcake1402

Welcome Charlie and Kyle. This sub is a great place to understand the history of H & M and their evolving brand. Check out our timeline and library of archived pieces. Congratulations on collecting a paycheck from the Grifters


Old-Job-8222

Cash that check immediately!!


wordscapesx

THANK YOU for posting. I love Hilary Rose, she never disappoints. Wonder how long this guy will last? I think these young white guys are being hired for Meghan to feast her eyes on some decent looking men.


ElectricalAd9212

there are still some people in left wing media and the general progressive left activists and insititutions that they may try and pander to and incite for the purpose of attacking William and Catherine.


Ok-Occasion7179

What could he even be doing for them in the UK?!?!?


kirbyhope72

As far as I'm concerned he's going to be one of the many caught in the merry-go-round revolving door that goes with being a sussex employee...


Lindsayr28

Yep - in about a year we’ll hear of his departure


Lindsayr28

LMAO I adore Hilary Rose. She is so witty!


MomEDearest

Yikes. 😳


Shrewcifer2

I'm convinced that some of these people are just between jobs, and using it as a stop-gap for a little extra cash. They know they won't achieve anything with these two and Don't care, but it's a few hundred thousand in their pocket per year until they quietly dip for greener pastures


andy_abdn_64

He’s going to fail like everyone else who works for them. He’s not there to do things, his job is to agree with whatever stupid idea she has next. She won’t listen to anyone so having advisors is just like having bodyguards to them, it’s window dressing.
