After last weeks entry in our ongoing series of profiles covering the people who make Reprise Media great, I thought we had moved past the superstition generating numerals but lo and behold, it’s Friday the 13th. That ought not to put you off of reading about Kate Zimmermann, our Director of Strategic Services – a position that was nearly called Head Strategerist. Aside from rejecting Triskaidekaphobia Kate is known for her semi-successful flirtation with veganism (see photo and answer to number 9) and her ability to thoroughly block out Lost-related conversation around her if she still hasn’t seen the episode in question.
1. Where are you From?
Washington, DC (okay, Northern VA)
2. Favorite Websites?
In no particular order – Thislife.org , Menupages.com, Toothpastefordinner.com, Google Reader (which maybe doesn’t count), and my mom’s blog
3. Great moments in Reprise History?
Getting nominated for a Corporate Social Responsibility award… only to have it stolen at the presentation event (literally, from our hands) by the Queens, NY equivalent of Boris and Natasha. Incidentally, they had been nominated for “Best Customer Service,” but did not win.
4. Reprise Job Related Tip?
If it doesn’t communicate anything, don’t put it on a PowerPoint slide.
5. Which Search Engine Would You Be and Why?
SearchwithKevin.com. Just kidding. I would probably be Yahoo, because I’m always trying to do too much at once.
6. Favorite TV Shows?
LOST, The Office, 30 Rock, Flight of the Conchords… and Oprah.
7. Favorite Movies?
Any movie involving a dance-off, Parker Posey or the Muppets. I’m still waiting for a movie that includes all three.
8. Favorite Music/musicians?
Music from the late radio station 99.1 HFS
9. Hero?
Bacon, lettuce, tomato, a touch of mayo, white bread
10. Favorite Social Media Tool, and why?
Google Reader (see above). WordPress and Twitter are close second runners.
11. Favorite Book?
12. How much time do you spend on social media over the weekend?
Other than de-tagging pictures of myself on Facebook, I like to take a breather from Social Media on the weekends.
