What's Greater Than this?

August 25th, 2010 in Doejo Stuff, Marketing, Goodies, Clients

Our friends at CheekyChicago.com wrote up a nice spot on an awesome new favorite coconut water based sports drink you might have heard of...

So many people are drinking coconut water for its high potassium and hydrating qualities, but coconut water alone does not give you enough electrolytes and hydration. I recently spoke to Mark and Jon Sider, Chicago brothers who have created an incredible sports drink called Greater > Than.

Mark and Jon were fed up with all the sugary, artificial, chemically formulated drinks on the market so they decided to actually do something about it. The result is Greater > Than, a drink that is completely all natural. It’s sweetened with stevia and beet sugar as opposed to tons of additives. Powered by coconut water, G>T also includes ingredients to help you hydrate and perform your best while working out. I’ve even heard a few people tell me that the electrolytes in G > T make it a perfect hangover cure.

Mark and Jon worked with top nutritionists and sports scientists to create this low calorie drink, but they didn’t want to skimp on taste. G > T comes in three yummy flavors: lemon lime, tropical and orange. I love the lemon lime, which tastes like a fruity Sprite. G > T recently launched in Chicago and will soon expand to other states. You can also purchase product on the G > T website.

So, what’s behind the name Greater > Than? Mark and Jon believe that you should never settle for less and that includes what you put in your body. Be greater than in all that you do!

New to Doejo: John Link, Project Manager

July 22nd, 2010 in Doejo Stuff, Goodies

Today I'd like to introduce the newest member of our team, John Link. John recently moved to doejo from a background of amateur segway piloting, bustling newsrooms, and I think something having to do with angry lawyers. We've been getting him up to speed him on board for about a week and we're really stoked about what he's brought to the table so far.

Why we need a Project Manager
Everyone at Doejo has a very strong Freelance background. Juggling work and managing deadlines comes pretty naturally to all of us--we're psuedo Project Managers. But after doing the job ourselves for the past few years, and putting an incredible amount of time and energy into keeping up with demand, we've really come to appreciate the qualities of a good project manager. John link will help us define requirements, putting together estimates, and keeping our teams on scope & budget.

Thank you John--Looking forward!
