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.

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.

Carrot Gets a Little More Carroty
I’m a body language expert. So when I asked if Carrot had a ginger quota they were trying to fill by hiring me, I stared them down in search of the truth. NO WAY was I going to sell out and let just any agency reap all the benefits and inevitable global PR that naturally comes along with hiring someone that’s borderline allergic to the sun.They insisted they weren’t hiring me for my red hair, and that I wouldn’t be… Continue Reading
