Service is important at Quirky. And we know from experience that good service only comes when the people providing it are genuine and believe wholeheartedly in what they do.
Our two newest Community Ambassadors — Rob and Marni — definitely fit that bill. You wouldn’t believe the passion they have for Quirky’s community… and they’ve only been here a few days! Plus, they’re funny, smart, and cool as hell. You’ll love ‘em, I know it.
You’ll start to see them popping up on e-mail, phones, and Get Satisfaction in the coming weeks. They’re eager to get to know you all, so say “howdy” when you get the chance!
Hey Quirksters,
My name’s Rob, what’s yours?
::pause::
Well, [Insert Name] it’s damn nice to meet ya!
I come to you from Agencyland, a magical place filled with buzzwords and high-functioning alcoholics, where nothing ever really gets done but everyone manages to keep their jobs.
Why leave Agencyland, you ask? Great question!
I was tired of nothing of consequence ever happening, so I set out on a quest to find a place where everything of consequence always happens, and that led me here, to Quirky, to you. I’m absolutely thrilled I am to be part of an awesome community that makes awesome shit all the time!
I’m ready to dig in, get my hands dirty, and help you help us all.
So make like Pat Benatar and Hit Me With Your Best Shot (or Treat Me Right, really it’s up to you.)
I’ll see you on the (Love Is A) battlefield!
x0x0, Rob (rob@quirky.com)
Why, hello there Quirks and Quirkettes!
My name is Marni and I’ll be joining Jess, Shirley and Rob as your new Community Ambassador. Hoodihoo! I’m so jazzed to be here and to get to know you, getting to know all about you (a la Julie Andrews.)
And because inquiring minds want to know, here are four very crucial facts about yours truly:
1. After being rejected from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry, I attended Cornell University where I discovered the true meaning of winter.
2. I have a degree in Apparel Design and a background in the fashion industry. Despite this, I enjoy wearing flannel onesie PJS.
3. I am a speed-reader. I wish I had a cooler talent to share with all of you, but I just read very fast.
4. I lied. I am also really, really good at Pictionary.
I’m truly delighted to join the absolutely amazing team here at Quirky. As Bogey says, I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship.
Love, Marni (marni@quirky.com)

Spanning the globe to bring you the constant variety of ideas… the thrill of victory… and the agony of defeat… the human drama of inventive competition… Welcome to… The Wide World of Quirky!
Hang on tight, because some of us 24/7′s have found ourselves drifting somewhere between the twilight zone and the outer limits.

Good morning Mr. Rob and Ms. Marni. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to boldly go where no Quirkster has gone before…

Nice to meet ya Rob and Mami.
Rob you will be glad to know I am working on a new razor that has 17 blades which makes for a quick shave. The first 3 blades lift the stuble while the next 6 blades lift them some more, the next 3 pretty much get clogged up so that the final 3 gets you looking sweet..
You may want to have Mami speed-read this. Don’t get mad if she insists on you wearing a seat belt. We can’t even use a phone when we drive..
