Though Alicia Keys has been given notice and will no longer be BlackBerry's Global Creative Director after January 31st, based on the photos that were posted yesterday to her social accounts, it's at least looking like she's keeping her commitment to the Q10 live until then. Yesterday she was on her way to see Michelle Obama, so having a BlackBerry in hand would be the fashionable thing to do:
On my way to the The White House see the First Lady to screen The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete and talk about higher education in the United States. Too many of our kids are facing unfair obstacles - we need to step up for them. Shout out to Michelle Obama for fighting the good fight!
On our CrackBerry editorial team chat, we just couldn't help but chuckle over the fact it's an iPhone taking the picture of her using a BlackBerry and posting it to G+. She clearly loves all da phones and platforms! Which hey, I understand that. I love my BB and often walk around with multiple devices, including those from the competition (here's the latest top trending thread in the CB forums giving me flak about it).
Question of the Week: Who would you want to BlackBerry to have as their next Global Creative Director? Now, I HIGHLY DOUBT that BlackBerry CEO John Chen is going to replace the position. I HIGHLY HIGHLY doubt it. But, if they were going to replace Keys, who would you want to see put in place? Let us know in the comments!
