The Morale and Culture Committee is pleased to announce Mariel Shaw as the most nominated employee of November for Mad Props.

Mariel joined Red Door this summer as an intern and now works with our Project Management team. In a short amount of time, Mariel has been exceeding her duties as a PM and helping to evolve our processes! She has been a huge help on some recent client projects, including pulling together all of the logistics for a client’s video shoot and sticking it out at the shoot until 1:30 in the morning. She has also been providing support on Q4 media projects including running all pricing updates, overseeing banner ad updates for Black Friday and polishing off  style guide tabs. It’s quite a lot to juggle and she is owning it. Thanks for being such a valued member of the Red Door team, Mariel!

The Morale and Culture Committee is pleased to announce Truman Esmond as the most nominated employee of the quarter for Mad Props.

Truman Esmond is Red Door Interactive’s Quality Architect on the Project Management team. In his role of Quality Architect, Truman is committed to the integrity of the development and testing process to ensure quality client deliverables. He is always 100% dedicated to the projects he is working on and over the past few months he has really gone above and beyond, so much so, that he received the most Mad Props last quarter! 

What did Truman do to earn each Map Prop? The question should be: what did he not do? Truman spent many late nights in the Denver office working to perfect wireframes for a client (we still think he may have slept there a few times:)). Have a technical question? Truman is the troubleshooter in the Denver office, and is recognized for not only resolving technical issues quickly, but also answering questions and patiently teaching us anything technical. Truman has also been applauded for his work on improving our RDI project process. It is clear that he cares deeply about our success and it shows in the detailed process improvements and the way he conveys the changes in each and every training session he leads.

Winning the most Mad Prop nominations shows how much Truman’s unceasing dedication is appreciated. No matter how many projects, emails, or meetings Truman has you can always count on him, and his sense of humor, to be there if you need a helping hand or a good laugh. We often wonder if there is such thing as a bad day in the land of Truman…

Truman represents our Core Values by exceeding expectations, inspiring and encouraging his fellow co-workers, and remaining 100% Jerk free, 100% of the time!

Being recognized as one of the best places to work in San Diego has a lot to do with the amazing people who work here. We are extremely passionate about our work and embrace a number of “Core Values.” To recognize dedicated individuals who go above and beyond we developed a program called “Mad Props.”

“Mad Props” was created and implemented by Red Door’s “Morale and Culture Committee” back in 2006. It lives on the home page of our intranet and gives employees the opportunity to nominate their peers whom they feel embody the company’s core values. A nomination lives on the home page for 2 weeks and includes his or her picture, description of what was done to receive the nomination, and how it relates to our core values.

In addition to individual nominations, the employee who has accumulated the most nods each quarter gets an extra day of PTO (Paid Time Off) to use whenever they like! We announce the winner at the end of the quarter in a public fashion by ringing our celebratory bell (definitely gets people’s attention) in the office and congratulating that individual.

With that being said…..we would like to congratulate Kim Weinstein for being the most nominated employee of the quarter!!!

Kim is Red Door’s Online Acquisition Coordinator and has been with the company since last November. Some of Kim’s “Mad Props” include preparing last minute presentations, demonstrating expertise in PPC campaigns, and providing excellent customer service. She consistently demonstrates many of the Red Door core values such as “Goal-oriented Multi-disciplinary Collaboration” and “Treating customers like they’re at The Ritz.”

We look forward to sharing more of these announcements to showcase the hard work and dedication behind the team at Red Door Interactive.
