Last week, Jose was nice enough to bring in his light kit to work. We’ve got a pretty fun idea for our company holiday card this year, and part of the project hinges on taking lots of photographs. We set up shop near the front of the office, and bugged the crap out of Sarah for two days with our…
Dan dressed, aptly, in a mask as The Mask. Justin’s a lumberjack, and he’s ok. Nick who, along with his girlfriend Erin, dressed as The Knife. This is the first I’ve heard of them, so here’s a link. AJ as Juno. Utopia (and her alter ego). Matt B never, never fails to impress on this day. He dressed up as…
Let me set up some backstory. Once a year, Deb and the Marketing/Sales teams gather all our IAMs together (Interactive Account Managers) to meet one another, and to discuss success stories and to share strategies. In the past, we’ve flown clients in and even threw a party in the office, complete with catering and everything. This year the annual meeting…
This photo will make a lot more sense if you watch the video, below.
I’m not quite sure how or when it first began, but Fridays in the office mean one thing around 3 or 4PM: the weekly Friday Challenge. These pics/videos were taken a few days ago, last Friday. Hosted by Chris, each week’s challenge tends to involve some random feat of coordination or skill. Today is the first day I took out…
Shortly before 11AM today, this graphic went out to everyone at work. Today, after a lengthy and long-drawn-out process… we determined the winner for the First Ever Double Elimination Rock Paper Scissors Tournament. Many months ago, the process got started… then it dropped off. And very recently, we had a resurgence that saw everyone finishing out their battles to bring…
With great sadness, this is something I’ve known for a while now… and something that many of us knew at work: Bryan is saying goodbye to Emmis Interactive, and heading out to the West Coast. He’s going out there with Jamie, and will be pursuing his artistic career full-time. While it pains me to see him go, there’s this rightness…
Ben, in his pursuit to become, like, the BEST_TROPHY_FINDER_EVER… has outdone himself. He’s starting up a Rock Paper Scissors tourney at the office, with a $2 entry fee. Winner gets $20, bragging rights, and… you guessed it: a nice, fancy trophy. We’ve had a good history of trophies at the company (The Lord and Master Stein™, The Pingmaster Trophy). And…
It’s official! While we’ve been a part of Emmis Communications these past few years… today marks a pretty significant milestone for my company. As of this morning, Emmis Interactive is its own company. We’ve even got our own Press Release and everything. Woohoo! A ton of folks were involved with our new site redesign and launch: Jane and Chris were…
The company I work for is Emmis Interactive. What started as a temporary freelance job working on a leftover flower-power iMac has, nearly six years later, turned into a full-on career. It’s been quite the ride. There was a time when, back in the day, there were only dial-up connection speeds at the work place. The cable modem at Justin’s…
A long, long time ago (way back in 2004), we used to have this particularly boring task at the workplace. It was a menial task, an update that had no admins and required “manual” labor, as it were. In order to determine who got the crap job… we settled on a Rock, Paper, Scissors contest. As there were three of…
Since our department moved out into its own office, our holiday celebrations have also separated themselves some from the stations. In the past, us Interactive folks would celebrate along with the stations; but we’d also have our own gatherings and dinners. It’s wild to think about, but about 5 years ago now… I sat down at a table with all…
*ring* Hello Allison? It’s me, Bryan. Ok, today? I was thinking about a light purple top and some black… no, no, wait. Wait. Gold. Make it gold shoes.
*ring* Hello, Bryan? It’s me, Allison. Ok, today? I was thinking we could do a bright pink top, dark jeans combo thing. Whaddya say?
