Welcome to this weeks edition of Meet The Pepperjam Team. This is our 32nd video and this week we have John Heil. John has been with us for about 6 months and works in our publisher services division. He works diligently to make sure that we are always on top of the affiliate network list. He is managing over 10 networks for us an every one is very successful.

When he is not working himself to death he is spending time with his family or playing Gears Of War for the XBOX 360. You can message him for his gamertag Anyway here is John Heil!

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.

Seven members of the Pepperjam Team, including myself, Michael Jones (COO), Brock Siegel (VP of Bus Dev), Ken Mohn, Jr. (VP of Search), Aaron Baker (VP of Sales & Marketing), Robyn Martin (Director of Affiliate Marketing), and Maura Goodwin (Assistant Director of Affiliate Marketing) recently attended the 2007 Linkshare Golden Links and Symposium.

Special thanks to Brigade Quartermasters, a valued Pepperjam client, for sponsoring us at the Golden Link Awards and for spending time with us at the Symposium.

Here are the PICS - Enjoy!

The annual Linkshare Symposium and Golden Link Awards are taking place tonight and tomorrow in New York City - the host hotel is the Hyatt with the actual conference taking place at Chelsea Piers, Pier 60. The Golden Link Awards take place tonight at the ultra-posh, Cipriani. Rumor has it that the Cipriani is where P. Diddy, Jay-Z and other music celebrities have thrown parties after the MTV Music Awards.

Linkshare throws the most high-end and classy events in the affiliate marketing industry - it’s not even close. Attending a Linkshare event is like flying in first-class and eating a five-star dinner all in the same day, for two days straight. The event(s) are by invitation only and include executives and senior managers from some of the top companies in the world, including American Express, Wal-Mart, Cingular / AT&T, and Dell.

We look forward to meeting-up with many of our existing clients, as well as prospective clients, and spending some quality time with industry friends.

If you’ll be attending the event and see a pepperjammer please stop us and say hello.
