Grace:
Can you introduce us to yourself and Tobe Agency and what you do?
Jared:
We are, by definition, a content marketing agency. We focus on marketing, creative, sales, and technology. We hit all corners of content marketing in general, from written to visual, and now audio because obviously we’re going to talk about podcasting. We do not specialize in a specific vertical, so we are kind of open-minded when it comes to that. We feel like our services fit a wide variety of businesses.

Lee Pelton – President – Emerson College
Grace Amodeo – Marketing Manager – Shift Media
Grace:
Tell us about yourself, and about what makes Emerson College unique.
Lee:
I’ve been at Emerson as its President for nine years. The first thing is that we’re distinctive, so we’re not a traditional conservatory, nor are we
a traditional liberal arts school. We’ve taken elements of both and created something new. As opposed to a liberal arts college where you wait a couple of years before you enter your major, students apply to a major department when they come here. So we have these students who know what they want to do. They’re passionate about what they want to do and they’re really very good at it, even before they arrive. The work that we do here is very collaborative, and we are a creative force.
