March IZEA Loco & Rockstars of the Month

4.1.09 by ashleyedwards in Community 5 Comments

Spring is in the air, and man have we got Spring Fever! Case-in-point March’s IZEA Loco this past Friday. So let’s not beat around the bush and get right down to it – here are our “Rockstars of the Month”:

Postie of the Month:
I can’t believe Lisa Marie Mary has never been recognized as “Postie of the Month” before now. She’s a long-time member of the IZEA Community–pretty much since the beginng–and we love having her around.

Lisa’s extremely engaged with other Posties, active on Twitter, and you can often find her blogging about IZEA or specific IZEA teammembers (I’m proud to say both myself and Veronique have appeared on her blog). She’s also extremely knowing about IZEA’s policies and procedures so if you ever have any questions I’m sure she won’t mind your asking.

If you don’t know Lisa Marie Mary then you need to friend her on SocialSpark or visit her Hippie Spelunker blog. Here’s a little of what you can expect:

Advertiser of the Month:
Put your hands together and congratulate SeaWorld. Of course we all know the “big” partnership we’ve established with SeaWorld, in bringing IZEAFest at SeaWorld to the blogosphere, but there’s more. There’s the “Manta Mania” some of our Premium Bloggers recently ran on through their blogs and Twitter profiles, and not to mention the DolphinBubbles.com site that was launched last month (and featured on “World News with Charles Gibson”). I’m sure you’ll agree they definitely deserve this recognition, and we look forward to many more exciting social media campaigns with them.

If you haven’t seen it yet here’s the video that appeared on the national news:

RockStar of the Month:
Drumroll…please! Our “Rockstar of the Month” goes to Grady Griffin on our Dev team. Grady is truly a team player, and always has a positive attitude that’s just a joy to be around. The folks on the Dev team don’t often get to bask in the spotlight, but hopefully Grady will relish his reign for the next month.

A special shout-out goes to our fearless leader, too, as he received a very special “Above and Beyond” award this month for all the awesomeness he brings to the IZEA vision.
