Drumroll Please!
Take your seats and get ready for some new perspectives on the case-mate blog. Here come the Case-mate Wise-Guys (and Gal)!
This week, we’ll debut three new blog columns, The PD Slice, The Gold Standard and The Niche Society from case-mate insiders Ashlyn Remillard, David “Goldie” Goldstein and Matt Shackleford.
Here’s a little about them:
Ashlyn
How long have you been working for case-mate? Tell us about what you do here. Since November 2009 aka like a week! I’ the Product Development Coordinator, so I whip PD into shape… 3 sets of 15 reps a day!
What phone do you currently use? Love it or hate it? iPhone and I love it – not for the apps but for the cases!
Where is the craziest / funniest place your phone has ever been? Not funny-bottom of a toilet/pool (not at the same time though).
Favorite you-tube video? The video of this little baby who gives an evil eye and then busts out laughing… and then repeats it over and over.
Favorite phone app? AP News and words with friends (scrabble).
What can’t you live or go for more than 2 hours without? I cannot live without soft lips chap stick…nor can I go more than 2 hours without it!
Goldie
How long have you been working for case-mate? Tell us about what you do here. Almost a year. I work in the sales department as the Account Manager for case-mate Europe.
What/where was your first job? A country club with two golf courses. It was great, I got to work outside and drive golf carts all day.
What was your first cell phone? Nokia 5 series. I remember playing the Snake game nonstop. The fact the phone had games on it seemed mind blowing at the time.
What features do you look for in a case? It has to be something that’s innovative and new. That way I can show you why it’s better than the one you have on your phone.
Favorite case-mate related story? I met a very sweet girl who found out I worked at case-mate and she commented on how she loved the Recession Case promo we did. It was really Matt Shackleford in our Marketing Department who came up with the entire campaign but I told her it was all my idea in an effort to get a date.
Guilty pleasures? Reality shows and the ‘E’ channel. My friends make fun of me but the people on them fascinate and bewilder me.
Shackleford
How long have you been working for case-mate? Tell us about what you do here. I’ve been at case-mate for nearly a year and a half and I’m the brand manager for I Make My Case, yes I do have the coolest job.
What was your first cell phone? Well I’m not sure if you have ever heard of the show “Saved By The Bell,” but Zack Morris had a Motorola DynaTAC 8000X, that was my first phone.
Favorite you-tube video? ‘Whips’ by Balloon Shop. Supporting my friends!
Favorite phone app? I Am T-Pain
When you’re not working at case-mate, what do you do with your spare time? Mostly spend time with my fiancee, hang out downtown, and drink coffee! Also I used to love playing my XBOX 360 but it died, so if anyone has one they want to donate I would appreciate it!
