Staff Reporter

Bethan spends each week knocking out hit after money-making hit on syndication — special projects like the podcast or video interviews don’t even slow her down. Quality is never in question, as she doesn’t step away from the keyboard until each story is clear, engaging and illuminating. You might expect this kind of relentless workhorse to develop a surly attitude over time, but Bethan is cherished at Wise for her cheerful professionalism and a desire to become better tomorrow than she is today.

Jason Lendrum

Senior Account Manager

Dylan Shiffman

Account Manager

Jason and Dylan are the faces of Wise Publishing to our partners. Since joining earlier this year, they both jumped in quickly to understand our business, our partner’s businesses and have taken ownership of their respective categories. Building deep relationships with our contacts and obsessively focusing on hitting their goals has put us in a position to unlock incremental budgets and higher payouts. At the same time, they have worked hard to sign new contracts, gain compliance approvals and onboard 40+ new partners via the XL Media Migration.

And they’re fun.

Brian Pacampara

Content Strategist

Syndication saw a huge boost in August, with PVs rising 58% and revenue climbing 60% month-over-month. This represents the hard work of the entire editorial team (and many others outside of it) but it’s hard to ignore Brian’s contributions. He’s been championing the Cornerstone Project, working early mornings and weekends to ensure we have adequate sends on MSN and Apple as well as ideating stories for our in-house writers and freelancers that are the envy of the industry. Keep up the amazing work, Brian!
