Two years ago, Alex joined the dotedison team, and we've been better for it ever since! She's back from maternity leave and balancing it all like a pro: rocking motherhood to sweet baby Rosie just like she rocks her role here. Always the first to lend a hand, always lighting up the room with that happy energy of hers. Happy 2 years, Alex! We're so lucky to have you. 💛

Spent the day last week with AMAC shooting photo and video for their machine training, and it was a good one! Getting out of the office and getting a closer look at what our clients do day to day is easily one of the coolest parts of what we do.

We had a blast at the ALSPRA Spring Conference!
Getting to show up and support the work that John Huddleston and the Alabama School Public Relations Association are doing for school communicators across Alabama is the kind of partnership that means something to us.

John has been a cornerstone of JefCoEd's communications strategy, and watching him bring that same energy to ALSPRA's membership is something we're genuinely proud to be a small part of. Having a booth at the conference and connecting with school PR and comms pros from around the state was a great reminder of why this work matters.

Proud to support the people who tell Alabama's school stories.

We had the BEST time team bonding at the Great Big Game Show in Birmingham. Safe to say we got a little competitive and absolutely killed it… and by the end, Jason was saying “bet it all” every chance he got. 😂

We had so much fun celebrating our developer Stell's birthday today with his favorite, red velvet cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory! 🎂❤️ You are one of the hardest-working people we know, and whenever someone on the team needs help, you are always there.

Dotedison is genuinely what it is because of the people on this team, and you are such a big part of that. We are really lucky to have you and we hope you know how much your work and your heart mean to all of us. Happy birthday, Stell!
