HyperX Media Welcomes Two New Interns

February 2nd, 2012 / News and Events by kuulei@hyperxmedia.com

HyperX Media would like to formally welcome our two new Interns: Amy Florang and Rachel Wright.

Since 2001, HyperX Media has been dedicated to providing quality internships for students interested in a career in online marketing. HyperX Media CEO, Jeff Morgan, shared this view on internships, “We see internships as a three way partnership between a university, the student and our company. This partnership provides an important hands-on training and learning experience for the student and a valuable service to our business.”

Amy and Rachel will be working on Search Engine Optimization, Search Engine Marketing, Social Media Marketing and Display Advertising projects. We look forward to having Amy and Rachel on the HyperX Media team.

Amy Florang

Amy Florang is currently attending Westminster College on the Business and Marketing Sterling Scholar Scholarship. She is studying marketing and will be graduating in May 2012 with her Bachelor’s of Science. In the future she plans to earn her MBA and hopes to work at an advertising agency.

Outside of school and work she enjoys photography, baking, and reading a good book. She hopes to gain knowledge and skills from her time at HyperX Media that she can apply to future jobs and projects.

Rachel Wright

Rachel Wright is currently a junior at the University of Utah. She will be graduating with a Bachelor’s in strategic communications. Rachel enjoys advertising and is a member of the LDSSA publicity committee at the U. Rachel is also studying motivational behavior and will graduate with a minor in psychology.

During her free time, Rachel loves to snowboard in the winter and go motorcycling in the summer. She also enjoys writing and is always on the look out for a good book to read. Rachel is particularly interested in social media and is very excited to be an intern for HyperX Media this semester.

Proud Sponsor of SLC SEM

October 20th, 2011 / Digital Advertising, Digital Campaigns, Natural Search - SEO, News and Events, Paid Search, Social Media by Alan Pohlman - President

Last night was the inaugural event for SLC SEM, a newly formed association of Utah search marketing professionals. The group was partially the brain child of our director of search several months ago who noticed a need to bring some of the great local SEM talent together to network and share ideas. He worked closely with Elisabeth Osmeloski from Search Engine Land (http://searchengineland.com/) and what was a really good idea is now a really great group for local search and online marketers.

The group’s focus will be on SEM (SEO, PPC, etc.), but will also tie in how search affects all forms of online and offline marketing. Participants include search and digital agencies, in-house search teams, consultants, online marketing professionals, students and people who just want to learn about the industry.
The event last night was well attended and there is no doubt future events will be very successful. They announced that Danny Sullivan (http://searchengineland.com/author/danny-sullivan), widely considered one of the top search “gurus” around, will headline an upcoming monthly event. They also announced a big event in partnership with Bing and the Sundance Film Festival.

HyperX Media is proud to be a Founding Sponsor of SLC SEM. We are eager to have an active role in this unique association and watch it grow. It’s fun to meet with people in the industry and learn from each other. If the inaugural event last night is any indication of what the group will become, watch out, there are some really good things to come! We encourage you to become a member if you are near Salt Lake City, or interested in traveling here for our monthly events.

February 2nd, 2011 / News and Events, Office Fun by admin

Even though the HyperX office AND staff smelled like Chicago Dogs and relish for days, I would say last week’s Lunch and Learn event with SMC and Da Hot Dog King was quite a success. It was great to see you all and meet a few new faces. I would like to thank everyone for your questions, suggestions, opinions and mostly for putting up with my favorite outspoken friend Steve Young (founder of Terra Flame) in the front corner. Bless his heart.

We hope this was as fun and educational for you as it was for us. We want to hold another event/discussion again soon so if you would like to be involved in any way please let us know. I would like to hold one consistently every other month making our next event in mid March. If you are interested in catering or have any engaging and interesting topics for discussion please email me at jessica@hyperxmedia.com.

Thanks again for joining us and Chewy sends you his love. See you next time!
