IT Milk: entry

It’s no wonder that Pepperjam is growing at its current rate. New employees and interns are springing out of thin air every other day and brand new desks and PC’s manage to snuggle their way into the current office layout. Pepperjam and Inc. 500 have become nearly synonymous to me, because everywhere that I look where there’s a Pepperjam logo, there’s also a Inc. 500 logo with the notorious number 293.

If you are not familiar with this, Inc. 500 puts out a yearly list of the top 500 fastest growing companies. And, as you might guess, Pepperjam was number 293 last year.

The odds are so favorable, that I wouldn’t even be gambling if I bet that Pepperjam will take striding leaps to move up to number 23 this year. After becoming somewhat of an insider at the company by interning, that’s how much faith I have in Pepperjam’s potential growth. If Pepperjam were a publicly traded company, I’d tell you to get a move on and buy their stock because you would be in for some serious profiteering.

The reason for Pepperjam’s success is undoubtedly its awesome group of employees. I don’t know about the Sales, Affiliate Marketing, Media or IT departments, but I know that Ken Mohn and his Search team have it pretty well locked down.

Who would have thought that a smallass city-town in Pennsylvania would produce such a technologically innovative company? After hearing about the desolate local area of Luzerne County, what you may be even more surprised by is that Pepperjammers are not a bunch of computer-strapped hillbillies running the show. Although Pepperjam is formed of 99% local talent, these people are amazingly dedicated to and competent at what they do. Learn more about the Pepperjam team by watching their series of Youtube videos.

When I was first going in for my internship, I started with some serious curiosities about Pepperjam’s success. To my surprise, I find out that there are no secret formulas here. The Pepperjam company is composed of a simple system of its hard-working employees interlocking with 5 independent departments that form a full-service search marketing agency.
