Behind the Scenes With

Justin Hill

• The most interesting project I’ve worked on while at Rockfish was: mywalmart.com… a facebook style site where Walmart associates come to connect with each other and learn about what is going on in their company. Associates like it because it’s a safe haven where they can have an honest conversation about the company in an environment free from the overly negative backlash they might receive from special interests groups on the public internet. The company likes it because they have a direct line to the pulse of its workforce. They get to find out what’s important to their associates and it gives them an outlet to foster company culture and share company initiatives.
• My favorite thing about Rockfish is: When I tell people where I work, I don’t have to go into a long explanation about what we do because the quality of our work speaks for itself and people have noticed who we are. I get a bit of an ego boost knowing that I’m working with the most talented people in the industry. It keeps me from getting lax and makes me want to always deliver my best.
• What I like best about our new location: Our A/V gear. How else could we have piped Michael Jackson videos throughout the office? It wouldn’t have been a proper tribute with a lesser A/V system.
• A trend in our industry that I find interesting is: I’m constantly surprised at the wide range of companies that want to get into the social media space in any way they can. We’ve done some really interesting projects that were seen by lots of people. There have also been a couple others that made me scratch my head and really wonder how big the target audience could be.
• My favorite website (and why): digg.com… I find myself visiting this site on my phone a few times a day. What keeps me coming back? I guess it’s the commenting system. There’s rarely a need to click through to the actual news article because there is usually a pretty good discussion going on about it. Diggers are quick to point out any bias or flat out falsehoods in the article. Posts that aren’t helpful to the conversation are hidden, and there are usually at least one or two witty remarks to keep things interesting.
