Following the acquisitions 4 companies in 5 years, MedData needed a way for its 2,000+ employees to connect with each other and make the transition to their company organization without overburdening everyone's email inbox.
Flavorpill
In 2004, I had moved back to Chicago from the West Coast and was, among other things, working as a contributing editor for the online events weekly Flavorpill. We launched Flavorpill in September of that year with about 20 writers, but the initial enthusiasm generated from a kickoff at Metro’s Smart Bar quickly fizzled. By early October a good chunk of the listings were being written by myself and Patrick Sisson, the other contributing editor, with the support of the New York editorial staff.
I continued to support the publication as a contributing editor through 2006.
