Apple PR

Apple PR job vacant — again
SYDNEY — The iPod may be selling by the truckload,
and Mac sales are said to be booming — but Apple Computer
Australia's public relations problems appear to be
continuing.
Debbie Kruger, formerly PR manager at Apple Oz, has
left the organisation after only a few months in the job
(she joined in August). Her departure follows the equally
abrupt exit of predecessors Martha Raupp, Myrna Van
Pelt and Sue Sara.
Rob Small, Apple's marketing manager, yesterday declined
to elaborate on the reasons for Kruger's departure,
but said: "I can confirm that Debbie has departed."
Meanwhile, John Marx, formerly of the Fleishmann-
Hillard and Spectrum public relations organisations, has
been given the job of public relations executive. Small says
he has been at his post for two days. "I love having John
here," said Small. The pair previously worked together
when Small was marketing manager at Dell Computer,
and Spectrum held the Dell account.
The PR manager job vacated by Kruger remains open.
