Socialites Unite!

Taking out the trash, fetching coffee, alphabetizing the owner’s cd collection* — an intern’s job is never done. Fortunately for Social, we have two of the most agreeable blokes on staff and our lawns have never been so manicured.

Returning after a stint with us last fall, Alex Miles, has returned to grace Social with his dazzling mix of left and right brain abilities. With a Digital Information Design, concentration in Interactive Media degree in sight, Alex flows nicely between the world of print and web. He’s also ridiculously good at sports that require boards and waxing philosophic about such topics as Moore’s Law and augmented reality.

All bright and shiny, the always punctual Aaron Rich is in hot pursuit of an Information Design degree from Winthrop University with a specialty in Web Applications. An infectious laugh and eager attitude, Aaron has been bounced from the world of IA to managing the set of high fashion shoots. Check out his mug above — are we the only ones that think he’s trying to give Eric a run for his money?

*We are joking about alphabetizing the cds of course, it’s mp3′s only around here.

New Kids On the Block

It may be long overdue, but we’ve finally popped our heads above water long enough to introduce you to the new guys on team Social. Ladies and gentlemen, we give you Eric Allen and Ben Jack!

Our office insomniac, Eric holds an Information Design degree from Winthrop University with a specialty in Web Application Design. As a self-proclaimed Super Developer for Social, Eric’s skills are as layered and technical as his hair.

Often charged with being a one-man customer support system, Eric remains calm and collected under pressure — even the “We still use Lotus Notes, is that going to be a problem?” kind of pressure… Notice the tie and all-knowing smirk — yeah, we’re convinced that he’s trying make the rest of us look bad.

Ben Jack graduated from Winthrop with a BFA and a concentration in Photography. Equipped with a Canon 7d / Tabletop Dolly / Photoshop / Lightroom / Final Cut Pro / After Effects, Ben Jack is Social’s shrewd Videographer (no, we don’t do bah mitzvahs) Editor, and Photographer. This multi-tasking comes, ironically, from a guy that gets motion sickness.

We’ve put Ben Jack on a strict Social Lunch diet in hopes of curing his unnatural addiction to the basic “bread & cheese” combos. His combined passion for filmmaking and Felix Unger idiosyncracies make him the perfect addition to our eccentric brood.
