Director of Client Services joins flourish

As flourish evolves, the flourish family continues to expand. With the addition of Anthony Hughes in the newly created position of Director of Client Services, flourish complements its core creative team with equally strong account service capabilities. Anthony comes to flourish most recently from Cleveland’s local CBS affiliate, where he was an Account Executive. Anthony hails from Britain originally, and he is quite the traveler—he’s been to more than 30 countries, and has even visited 40 American States while on a 17,000-mile road trip.

To get to know Anthony better, we asked him to share some “across the pond perspectives.�

Food Anthony misses most from home: a Sunday roast with all the trimmings; also “bangers & mash.� He says the food in England isn’t pretty, but it is tasty.

Place Anthony recommends in NE Ohio that serves fish ‘n chips reminiscent of his homeland: Mavis Winkle’s (caveat: it’s actually an Irish pub).

NE Ohio establishment that pours the best pint? Anthony gives a nod to Great Lakes Brewing Company, and The Old Angle Tavern on West 25th.

Distinctly British words or phrases Anthony uses: When something is “bad,� Anthony says it’s “pants,� which he explains is short for “underpants.� Another idiosyncratic British expression he uses if something is bad is “bollocks�; conversely, if something is good, it’s “the dog’s bollocks.� (Further explanation censored on this PG-13 rated site).

American vernacular Anthony has adopted since in the U.S.: Awesome. (Although he’s working hard to keep the word “dude� out of his vocabulary. As in: “Dude, that’s like totally awesome!�).

When the following either/or “Britain vs. America� choices were posed to Anthony, here are the ways he leans:

Chips or fries? Chips

Coffee or tea? Coffee

Cookies or crumpets? Crumpets

London fog or New York haze? NY haze

Red (Nutzy Rouge) squirrel or grey squirrel? Red squirrel (because he usually roots for the underdog…or in this case, the under-rodent)

Anthony (pronouncing the “th�) or Ant’ony (with a hard “t� sound)? Ant’ony, as in Anthony (AnTony) and Cleopatra
