Meet The Pepperjam Team #29 - Meet The Pepperjam All-Stars

Friday, August 10th, 2007

FINALLY!

This is a half hour candid interview with Kris Jones, Michael Jones, Shoemoney and Mediadonis (aka Marcus). It took some video manipulation to cut the thing down to youtube size, but it is done. WOO!

I had the pleasure of interviewing these guys last Friday. This video takes place a day before Kris Jones’ wedding so any reference to “this weekend” really means this past weekend. I wanted to ask them questions ranging from the serious to the insane, so watch as KJones and company answer questions regarding affiliate marketing, favorite food and drink and other very important questions.

Meet The Pepperjam All-Star Team:




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.

Text-Link-Ads Parent Company - MediaWhiz - Purchases AuctionAds

Friday, July 27th, 2007

Auction Ads

News broke across the internet earlier today that MediaWhiz (parent of Text-Link-Ads) purchased AuctionAds for an undisclosed sum of money.

Congratulations to Shoemoney and Dillsmack on this absolutely incredible accomplishment. In my opinion, AuctionAds was the most impressive new product launch of 2007 - in less than 5-months the product, which is an eBay ad network widget, gained over 25K users, served nearly 1 billion impressions, and sold for what I imagine is millions of dollars.

I have to admit, I am honored that I’m in Vegas for this weekend with Shoemoney and Dillsmack for my bachelor party (more on that in a future post….maybe!)

Best of luck to MediaWhiz on this very intelligent acquisition.

Monday, June 18th, 2007

Shoemoney & Dillsmack, the developers behind the incredibly successful AuctionAds affiliate marketing widget won the uber prestigious eBay Star Developer Award at EBay DevCon last week.

I’ve provided an interview below conducted by eBay directly after they accepted the award.

The award was given out last week in Boston as part of EBAY Live and EBAY DevCon.

Everyone at Pepperjam would like to congratulate Shoemoney Media Group on the success of AuctionAds and on the incredible success the system has had since launch….

With over 17K users and hundreds of millions of impressions AuctionAds is the most successful affiliate marketing widget ever.
