Meet The Pepperjam Team #48 - Kris Jones - Reflections On The Past Year At Pepperjam

Friday, December 28th, 2007

Meet The Pepperjam Team Logo

Welcome to this weeks edition of Meet The Pepperjam Team.

Well, another year has past, and often times it creates a period of reflection for us all. At the end of every year we look at what has happened and what will happen in the coming year . It has been a great year for Pepperjam and we have alot to be thankful for and ALOT to reflect on. With that said I figured I would ask Kris Jones if he had anything to say about the past year, what it meant to him and where Pepperjam is heading.

Watch and Enjoy!


For those of you who don’t know the “rules” behind the Meet the Pepperjam Video Series, here they are:

Every Friday Pepperjam will post a new video interview of a member of our staff - everyone will be included - affiliates managers, executives, search-engine marketing managers, directors, software engineers, assistants, online media buyers, and interns. The person being interviewed won’t know he / she has been chosen until about 30 seconds before the interview - this way you’ll get an unrehearsed, real world look at the employee…hopefully, this will make it interesting and non-corporate, which is what we are known and respected for across the internet marketing industry.

Why are we doing this? Well, I am proud of our team and I think you’ll find them as interesting and intelligent as I do. Also, I’m a student of viral video and the social media space and I want to test the waters as it relates to what corporate america is doing (and not doing) to spread buzz and build next generation work places.

Finally, I just thought it would be cool to put some people in front of a video camera that have never done so before, have a little bit of fun, and see if Pepperjam can spread some additional buzz about why we are the leader in online marketing.

FYI - all videos will also be posted to YouTube. If you think what we are doing is outside-the-box and interesting please blog about it and share the story with the world.

Meet The Pepperjam Team #47 - Jeff Moisey - Senior Media Buyer

Friday, December 21st, 2007

Meet The Pepperjam Team Logo

Welcome to this weeks edition of Meet The Pepperjam Team. I can honestly say I have NO idea what happened this week, it was the most fun and spontaneous video that has ever happened here and all of it fell right together before Jeff’s interview. Jeff is one of the most well know people around the office, I think everyone here has had at least one conversation with him. I don’t have any more to say, just watch the video.

Meet The Pepperjam Team #46 - Gina Nardone - Shogging Intern

Friday, December 14th, 2007

Meet The Pepperjam Team Logo

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to MTPT #46. This week we decided that it might be time to interview an intern (actually the intern union was up in arms) and we picked one of the best, Gina Nardone. Gina says she was “like really nervous and stuff” and that she doesn’t do well on film. Well Gina, you did fine and I think the interview came out great. Watch Gina talk… about stuff she likes, her hobbies, friends and family. She also has one hell of a hidden talent that doubles as a funny face.

Meet Gina

Meet The Pepperjam Team Logo

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to MTPT #45. This week we have a n00b, Tim Stanitis, Tim has been here around 2 months and in the 2 months that I have gotten to know him he is a great guy. Well traveled, a hard worker and a real cowboy (smokes them marlboro reds). Tim is a homegrown local boy, went to Wyoming Seminary and attended Kings College. I think he knows everyone here from some previous experience.

Meet Tim
