JEREMY MARR, WWMT/CW-7; WLAJ/CW-5, Kalamazoo/Lansing, Mich.
In this business, we're surrounded by stars.
Some twinkle, others shoot off, even more fade.
Rarely do they shine.
Unless of course, you work with Jeremy Marr.
From the beginning of Jeremy's new duties as Interactive Content Producer, he has embraced the challenge of creating something out of nothing, for both WWMT and WLAJ.
He is not only determined to make our sites better, but he pushes everyone around him to do so as well.
Jeremy has a competitive edge that's needed to stand out.
In September he ranked in the top 5 Freedom-wide for number of new stories posted in OnSet, with more than 600 posts.
Jeremy is dedicated to making our content fresh, new and first.
And more importantly, better than the competition's site(s) in both markets.
He's the "go to" guy for creation of new segments and pages.
And Jeremy is a key source of ideas that can be utilized within the newscasts and in sales as well.
There is never a problem that can't be solved on his watch, and it's difficult to sandbag the flood of ideas that come from his cubicle.
It's truly refreshing and the results of his handiwork are evident in the major increases we've seen in unique users and daily hits over the past six months.
While he welcomes the everyday challenge to do more and create better, his attitude above all, remains positive.
It's infectious and, in return, everyone in both news departments have grown to understand the importance of our Web sites and better yet, participate in the daily ritual.
Jeremy also understands that we need to be great (in the book or out; on shift or not) all the time.
He's constantly pushing for excellence and leads by example — whether it's shooting himself and posting, creating blogs and/or training and mentoring others who've grown even more interested in the sites simply by experiencing his enthusiasm.
Jeremy Marr is certainly Freedom's Shining Star in the ever-growing internet galaxy we've come to utilize and grow.
