Internet Marketing Inc. has just recently been awarded by the San Diego Business Journal as one of the top 100 fastest growing companies in San Diego, last Thursday, July 12, 2012.
I joined Internet Marketing Inc. 2 years ago, right on the first workday of January 2010, and worked in a smaller office in Mission Valley, and today, we are in a much large office in Scripps Ranch and is even still expanding taking over another floor in the building. Initially the company had people that were not more than your fingers, and when I came it it was about 20 or so, today it’s more or less by the 50 mark. Now I can go on and on and talk about my story of IMI, but I think my views alone would not give enough justice to why IMI is a great company and we need to take a look at many other key people at IMI. But to avoid this blog post to go on forever, I decided to ask 6 questions to directors and executive members but keep their answers in less than 10 words per question.
Tell me about your job, your position at IMI. What do you do at IMI in 10 words or less?

Brandon went beyond the 10-word answer requirement. I couldn’t find a way to shorten it, but I will give him some slack, since he’s the CEO.
