Jeff joins Carrot as a Development Intern turned newest Developer. Wish him luck with a sweet tweet: @jescalan I never would have thought that I would owe getting my dream job to a guinea pig. Just a few months ago, I was a senior at Hamilton College, trying to balance a full course load with my senior thesis (evaluating interfaces using electroencephalography), an on-campus job, and the search for a real job. I stumbled across Carrot Creative while browsing Forrst, a community for… Continue Reading

Carrot is People
Bob Whitney joins the Carrot family as our newest developer. Welcome him with some Twitter love: @withloudhands.

His name is Christopher Petescia and he is a partner in a Social Media Agency called Carrot Creative. He is describing to me a little bit about his company, and I am finding it hard to believe. For starters because, unlike most… Continue Reading

An Opportunity Two Years in the Making
In June of 2009, I was interning at The JAR Group, learning everything I could about online marketing when I had the pleasure of attending my first Digital DUMBO. Being both a designer and front-end developer, it was really inspiring to see a group of people coming together to discuss everything that I was passionate about. I felt that I had found a community that I could explore the technological landscape with. One month later, I met Chris Petescia―Chief Product… Continue Reading

Much Ado About Carrot
Juliette Richey is joins the Carrot family as a producer. Welcome her with a tweet to @julietterichey. The first time I was in a room with Mike Germano, and heard him speak passionately about the company he had built, I couldn’t think of anything else for a week. He seriously changed my thinking about social media and advertising. I realized then that I wanted to be a part of something cutting edge, exciting and purpose driven. Carrot is carving a… Continue Reading

The Road to Carrot
Will Hutson recently joined us as our Director of Social Activation. Follow him on Twitter at @willhutson. L-R: Will Hutson, Will Hutson. It all started when I was living in LA.

I’d gotten to witness things like a Facebook post from Finding Nemo‘s… Continue Reading

Carrot Matters

Photo by Jeff Pannone I had the neatly-trimmed Wall Street Journal article mentioning Carrot hanging up in my cubicle as incentive to find a job that mattered more to me. I’m now sitting in the Carrot office writing my first post wishing I’d been here years ago… I’ve known about the company since they were mere baby carrots sprouting off Whitney Avenue… Continue Reading

How Does That Carrot Jumpsuit Fit? Just Snug Enough.
Alexis Lamster is our newest producer. Follow her on Twitter at @alexislamster. Photo by James Nord I knew from the first day I walked into the Carrot offices that I wanted to be part of the team. So just what was it that had me so convinced? Well it wasn’t Jonas, as adorable as he is, jumping up and slobbering all over me. That was just an added bonus. The reason I knew Carrot was the right place for me… Continue Reading
