PeKu News- December 2014

The entire month of December feels like a celebration to me. Between the assortment of holiday parties, the increased amount of baking, the multitude decorations, the sounds of Christmas music, and the holidays themselves, it feels like a non-stop party. At our house, the decorations came out the day after Thanksgiving.  I'm all for celebrating Thanksgiving as its own event, but once it has had its due, I like to make our house festive. So, our windows have candles and our year round tree has multi-colored lights among many other pieces of decor.

This month's work anniversaries are

Meet the Team- Joe Lawrence

This week's interviewee has been with PeKu since the very beginning with a little time off in the middle of his tenure. Joe Lawrence started writing for PeKu in July 2008. He wrote for us on a number of topics, including politics and parenting, until January 2011. At that point, he took a two and a half year hiatus to focus on his family and career. We were delighted when he returned in September 2013. Since that time he's been writing about fitness, and next month he will return to writing about parenting. I'll stop the intro

Some Projects Are Like Snow Globes

November saw great change to our editorial calendar. Eliminating eight publications will do that.  Along with the removal of tens of articles, I also made some small tweaks to make sure that our articles were geared toward our female audience.  Columnists' assignments were changed, a couple new topics were added, and sections were realigned.

When November began, I watched as the team adapted to the change. I watched our publications and our readers' reactions.  With everything moving along smoothly, I decided that it was time to implement even more change to our publications.  If we are going to

Version Y- Questions & Answers

We are now one week into our female-focused orientation at PeKu. Thankfully, the transition has gone well for the team.  Our writers are producing terrific articles for their new assignments (as well as their pre-change ones). Our editor has mastered the new editorial calendar and all of its intricacies.  Our marketing team is busily promoting PeKu (and Peku the penguin) to our audience. And of course, our engineering and design team has all of PeKu looking great!

With everything going smoothly, I am excited to write about this change and answer questions as promised
