News Flash Archive: The Media Spot

Preparing for the move to Seattle

July 6th, 2010 by Andy

Well it’s the end of an era as we pack up the office here in Brooklyn!

The move will bring a lot of changes for sure, but I’m also excited about many things that will stay the same: I look forward to continuing to work with colleagues here in New York and elsewhere (more news on that front coming soon!), continuing Dtek’s tight partnership with Bad Feather, and continuing to share ideas and inspiration with The Media Spot.

And of course, I look forward to continuing the excellent relationships Dtek has with clients in New York and around the country.

Dtek’s move to Seattle will happen in a couple of weeks. Please note that we’ll be unavailable the week of July 19.

In Seattle, we’ve found a great new coworking office space at Office Nomads in Capitol Hill. As of August 1, the new business mailing address will be:

Dtek Digital Media
Office Nomads
1617 Boylston Ave, Second Floor
Seattle, WA 98122

Here’s to smooth sailing out west, and the next chapter in Dtek’s history: 10 years and counting. Onward and upward!

Welcome, Greg Lyle!

Though I haven’t posted here in a while (look for updates next month!), I’ve been busy working on some exciting projects. So much so, that I’ve been looking for help…

Dtek evolved to its present form a few years ago as co-founder Rhys Daunic built up a full workload of media education consulting services with The Media Spot. That made me essentially a one-man operation, though I continued to partner with similar shops and freelancers on a project-basis, chief among these being the tight partnership I have with the design and coding team at Bad Feather. Now Dtek is poised to enter a new period of growth as we’re building more substantial web sites that require more resources, code, and maintenance, as well as continuing to maintain long-term relationships with many existing clients.

So I’m thrilled to have Greg Lyle on board in a consulting role. As a developer and systems administrator with a strong Unix and Free and Open Source Software background, Greg is in a great spot to help expand the services that Dtek is offering in exactly the ways that our clients need. He’s worked with a couple of other Drupal-focused web development shops in the past, and worked on a diverse set of projects including a back-end web site for a 2008 presidential campaign.

Hopefully Greg and I will make great strides together — look for more out of Dtek from this new working relationship! But first, time for a few days off for the holiday :)
