Since Pathways to Education is advertising for a new CEO, Your Working Girl reckons it’s as good a time as any to look at the rapid trajectory of an organization that originated in the housing projects of Toronto’s Regent Park in 2001. After 12 years of incredible growth, she wanted to see what’s what, who’s […]
Your Working Girl’s holiday is over and the marketing/branding/fundraising construct continues to careen on it’s crazy daisy way. Abercrombie & Fitch, a clothier that boasts one of the longest line-ups on Boxing Day has spent 2013 hurky-jerking from one wild decision after another. It no longer stocks XL or XXL. And it doesn’t sell […]

Chairperson, Ian Webster confirmed a couple of weeks ago that the charity was no […]

John Cook, editor of gawker.com has gone and done it again. And for that, Mr Cook is Your Working Girl’s leading nominee for two illustrious awards.
