Yesterday, our own Brian Winter sat down with Nikka Harvey to talk Pyxl for Knoxville Overground‘s weekly Lunch 2.0. Lunch 2.0 is a lunch series hosted by Overground that showcases the region’s hottest startups (typically having raised more than $100K) or an up-an-coming entrepreneur you can’t afford to miss.

Today, I’m excited to announce that Josh Phillips has been promoted from Director of Operations to President of Pyxl. In his new role, Josh will be responsible for day-to-day operations while also continuing to lead strategy and campaign management initiatives for our clients.

Josh’s experience and track record of delivering marketing results, along with his strong leadership skills, will enable him to excel as Pyxl’s new president. He is a great fit for the type of integrated, online marketing we do, and I am confident that Josh will be a key contributor to the growth of Pyxl moving forward.

I will be staying on as Founder and Adviser and will continue to provide guidance to the Pyxl team as we continue this exciting period of growth and expansion.

For more information on Josh’s promotion, read a press release about it.

This Twitter downtime fueled a question: Why doesn’t Twitter hire more people since it’s so big so that outages like this can be handled faster? Then it hit me: Twitter might not have the money to hire more people. Read more →
