We’re really quite nice... Carla Borelli carla@gruntmedia.com Carla Borelli is a seasoned marketing and communications professional with over 15 years of experience managing product launches, market and brand strategy, sales initiatives, communications and outreach programs for large and early-stage companies. While steeped in traditional marketing, Carla is most at home in the digital world of social media where business markets are evolving into person-to-person networks, into honest and more human conversations. Carla loves the transactional speed and transformative nature of these new markets and helps gruntmedia clients get on board and avoid the pitfalls of communicating through the new-generation media that customers, employees and partners demand. Carla serves as gruntmedia's "contrageek," the human bridge between customers and the impetuous but highly intelligent gruntmedia geeksquad. Craig Syverson craig@gruntmedia.com Craig Syverson is a part tech/video geek, part artist and part on-camera ham. He is the host and producer for the gruntmedia series of videos such as videogrunt and podgrunt. Prior to founding gruntmedia, Craig established and led the in-house media production group for IDEO, the world's leading design firm. In his early career, Craig had the opportunity to work with the late Buckminster Fuller which influenced his love of science and design. Craig also worked as a fine artist, exhibiting with galleries in Los Angeles and Palo Alto, and his multi-media collaboration with designer Naoto Fukasawa was exhibited in 2001 at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Carla calls Craig a morph of Dieter and Carl Sagan. Kenji Kato
