M E C H A N I C S
We quietly introduced Jubii.com in February 2007 with outreach to top-tier influencers and bloggers. These press and pundits had the opportunity to test a private Beta site and assess its functionality prior to unveiling the Jubii.com service to the public six weeks later. We conducted a bi-Coastal media tour, including conference calls and desk side briefings with top-tier news outlets and influential bloggers including Michael Arrington, founder of techcrunch, and Walter Mossberg, of the Wall Street Journal. 

We crafted and distributed a social media press release, delivered a fact sheet, and pitched hundreds of MSM reporters and college campus publications across the U.S.
