Welcome our latest Sales and Marketing hire: Jeff Leyland!

It's hard to believe that V.I.A.'s been in the digital publishing space in this city for seven and a half years now.

It's hard to believe that V.I.A.'s been in the digital publishing space in this city for seven and a half years now. What's also hard to believe is that even though we've been around the block we've only seen the majority of our growth occur in the past year. One outward indicator that's noticeable by anyone who's watching is that our Facebook Page went from 35,000 Likes to over 73,000 in just 12 months, and I can't even begin to tell you the changes that have happened to the business end of this thing in that time. This growth is due mostly to some serious strategizing which has involved us watching the data and what our readers want to see, and delivering on that, but we must admit that part of it has to do with the fact that we've just been at it for a long time and have become an accepted part of the media landscape.

Our latest hire, Jeff Leyland (pictured below in our office), comes to us at the perfect time and will be crucial to our growth, ensuring that we'll be around to deliver the Awesome to you for a long time to come. He's involved in all aspects of our Sales, Marketing & Media and brings a wealth of experience to us from the past 13 years of his career. An on-air radio and TV personality, writer, producer, with experience in media relations, his most recent post was as a Digital Account Manager, Writer and Media Consultant for Vancity Buzz.

We're incredibly lucky to now have him on our team and I wanted to make this post welcoming him to V.I.A.!

One of the first orders of business when he started was for us to revamp our media kit and make more options available, and to increase engagement across the board.

If you're a regular reader you'll be happy to know that Jeff is adamant about bringing more high value giveaways to the site. If you work in marketing you'll be similarly happy to know that our new kit has loads of options available for you and he's keen to talk with you about gaining exposure through us.
