Two years ago today was my last day at my previous job and tomorrow will mark my first day of this journey known as Rockfish Interactive. While Rockfish didn’t officially get kicked-off until early 06, I consider today my two year anniversary in starting the company. Man has it been a wild two years! We’ve added 22 amazing employees (still looking to add more – click here), moved offices three times and will soon be moving a fourth to accommodate growth, have done work for the 3 largest companies in Northwest Arkansas and so many other great companies, have become one of the top 5 largest agencies in Arkansas according to the Arkansas Business Journal, and have established a reputation of being one of the top providers of interactive development work in the region. I cannot imagine myself doing anything else that would be more satisfying and exciting! On this personal two year anniversary I want to thank all of our amazing clients, vendor partners, and employees who make this awesome place called Rockfish Interactive possible!
We continue to work with Wal-Mart to expand the Live Better Index. The Live Better Index provides insights on how Wal-Mart helps American consumers save money and living better in five important areas: value, sustainability, health & wellness, economic opportunity and store of the community.
