The Power and Value of Flexible Work Styles

May 11, 2012

Culture is critical - In the modern business world, you have to offer competitive perks to attract & retain talent. When I co-founded Blink in 2005 with AJ Vickery, our vision was to create a flexible work space to empower our business and increase efficiency. From a pet-friendly office to flexible work hours, strategic initiatives have improved my team's productivity and job satisfaction.

GetConnected Goes Big for its Spring 2012 Season

March 16, 2012

This week we started filming the tenth season of Blink's flagship show GetConnected, and we’re excited to reveal that the set will include the world’s largest TV, the Sharp AQUOS 80" LCD TV! When I first saw it at CES and I knew I had to get it in as our showpiece TV. It’s the largest TV on the market, with 80 inches of big screen viewing - That’s more than twice the viewing area of a 55-inch screen.

Check out our unboxing above of the 80” Sharp TV, as we compare it to our old 42” TV. Our Spring 2012 season starts in just a few weeks, stay tuned for air dates!

The gold statuette (seen above with Blink's mascots Frank & Charlie) for the Effects category was awarded to our commercial for the Kodak Playsport, with judges saying "An excellent use of filters that add a great deal to the production without being overpowering."

January 14, 2012

Blink's GetConnected TV hosts were out in full force at CES (Consumer Electronics Show) this year. Mike Agerbo, AJ Vickery, producer Tristan Jutras and I ran around the trade show (which was the equivalent of 36 football fields!) soaking up all the tech goodness the future holds. From the amazing Lenovo Yoga Ultrabook to a bluetooth-enabled shower speaker, we were in geek heaven. To see some of the latest innovations in consumer and business tech, check out the GetConnected YouTube page.
