Peter Mycock to head MySpace commercial operations
Affiliate marketing specialist Peter Mycock has joined MySpace Australia in the newly created role of commercial director.
Mycock was head of search, affiliate and lead generation at AOL in the UK from 2006 until late last year. According to MySpace: “This newly created role will oversee all commercial operations including business strategy and partnerships, sales team leadership and corporate development.”
Mycock was also previously sales dirtector at Buy.at, a British online affiliate marketing compay.
Mycock said: “I am excited to be joining MySpace at such a pivotal time in the industry, where content discovery, self-expression and understanding the consumer DNA will be critical to enabling the appropriate interaction between publisher, advertiser and community.”
Nick Love, MD of MySpace and IGN Entertainment Australia and New Zealand, said: ‘Peter not only brings extensive digital sales leadership and commercial experience to our team, but also has a first class track record in mentoring and developing people whilst growing revenues and yield.”
the name was funny before he got the MySpace gig
My what!?!
mycock hits myspace
I hope he doesn’t blow his opportunity!
I never thought MyCock could land such a gig!
Congrats Pete – and a Charlatan fan also! Happy Days!
Middle name, please.
Nick & Peter should create a consulting team ….. Love Mycock
Wouldn’t a more appropriate headline be ‘Mycock gets head job’?
Hey Nath, I am sure they played around with that one for a while before it got tossed
Be nice to hear and see something of actual value from these guys. Too much hype for such a long time.
Stop talking it up and just deliver !
Mycock must have pretty thick skin to take such a beating.
I feel for Peter, for having to deal with this sort of silly joking. But I bet you guys fought hard to avoid the kazillion obvious double entendres!
How malicious were his parents!
according to reports, his performance so far has been flacid.
I thought mycock was all over ChatRoulette?
Pure gold Nath.
Breaking news: Peter M has fallen from his motorcycle on his evening commute home. MyCock is said to be heavily chafed.
Past colleagues on Peter: “MyCock needs to harden the f*** up”.
You can’t beat a hard news story.
This is good news for MySpace – I head he’s very hands-on.
Leave mycock alone!
“Vacancy Filled by Mycock” or “Love Gets Hands on Mycock” may have been more appropriate headlines.
I hope all these comments don’t bring a tear to Mycock’s eye.
Guys just leave MyCock alone- hands off please.
Come back after a few hours to check out this article again and mycock comments have really grown lengthy.
Biggus Dickus…brilliant
I heard they took a long hard look at Mycock
Steven @ #24, MySpace have created this PR nightmare. They should be brave enough to take Mycock on the chin!
It takes BALLS to post that entry
@ not amused – it’s just that Mycock is bigger then average so I am saying take it easy
Fair go people. We’re talking about a talented individual here.
Your point is well made Private. Mycock is an upstanding member of the online community.
Private @ # 30, People are having fun with the name which has no bearing on the individual nor their ablity. I would hazard a guess and suggest the majority here have never met Peter and had it not been for his colourful surname, would not be commenting at all.
Keep your head up Pete.
Mycock’s quote in the article is a load of wank. No pun. Well, a little pun.
Nevertheless, a memorable entry for mycock I’d say after reading the comments.
Welcome Pete, great to meet you at the IAB’s last week and looking forward to working with you
Im sure mycock will fit right in
Looks like mycock is getting ahead in life
Please tell me his brother’s name’s Pat…!
Geez… it’s the REAL Mycock from MySpace here. If anyone would like to have a chat about MySpace, my name or indeed my… erm… cock then do let me know. Hit me up at peter.mycock@myspace-inc.com… It was meant to be pmycock@myspace-inc.com – thankfully the good folk at MySpace & IGN Entertainment took pity on me and opted for the full-name email address.
Must say I’m secretly thrilled to have caused a bit of a stir on arrival.
Look forward to meeting you all in due course.
Ha! Good onya Peter!
hey pete – nice to Meat you and thanks for throwing your hat in the Ring!
Seems you’ve got a good head on your shoulders humouring all these comments. Myspace is a hard gig, but I’m sure you’ll pull it off. Just ensure you get all the local troops to come together as one, lest the gig blows up in your face..
all the breast!
-ps. regards to brother phil
Love Mycock Head mySpace
Great to hear from you Peter, hope all goes well and look forward to meeting you soon.
my cock is on the way up it seams
I think the joke is done now people.
Apparently Mycock stood to attention after being touched by all these comments.
“Mycock comes in rear entrance to sidestep waiting media throng.”
…….this highlights the combined mental capacity of the australian media industry…and another thing…not one comment from a woman apart from Miss V who most likely is a man woman much like me so doesn’t count . Any wonder companies have to ship the real experts on media in from London you bunch of losers. Back to your cocks boys.
I AM WOMAN HEAR ME ROAR!
Well you count me in as well Francine. They are all so juvenile aren’t they! We women have to stand firm against this male-dominated uprising.
Right on sisters
I faked it. Sorry.
MyCock is twitching at the chance to explode all over the media scene
Never has one comment thread become so tired so quickly. Time for me to close it, I think…
Cheers,
Tim – Mumbrella
