Faces of Roundpeg: Allison – The Devil’s Advocate
I learned a long time ago, if you want to be successful you need to surround yourself with people who don’t think the same way you do and who are good at the things you aren’t. If you are very lucky you will find someone who cares enough to disagree with you. I am very lucky, because I found Allison. She argues with me, she asks pointed questions, she corrects my grammar and spelling, and tells me when I screw up. As annoying as that is, I can’t imagine life at Roundpeg without her. Allison loves structure and routine, so when I suggest something new, some change in our operating...

read moreWhy Playing Hooky Can Help Your Business
At Roundpeg, we love to play hooky. It’s not that we don’t love our jobs or aren’t passionate about marketing and web design and all that other good stuff. But sometimes, you have to take a step back from your work and take a day for other things. That’s why last Friday we cancelled work. Oh, sure, a few of us did a couple of hours of work in the morning or a smidgen in the afternoon, but most of our day was focused purely on having fun and enjoying the crazy carnival atmosphere that is the Super Bowl in Indianapolis. We even got paid for our time. It’s a pretty...

Another week where if we waited an hour here in Indianapolis, the weather changed. We’ve had ice, snow and on the rare side for January, thunderstorms. Our blogs this week seem to have followed the pattern of one of our favorite interview questions…so weather you favor words, pictures or numbers, we’ve covered it in at least one of our blogs during the past week. If you’ve missed one or several, here’s a quick recap: Saturday – Faces of Roundpeg: The Boy Band Lorraine’s ode to Taylor & Jay and the way things used to be. Sunday – Make...

One of my all-time favorite TV shows is MASH. I loved all the characters of the quirky, somewhat political comedy. In the eleven years the show was on the air, many of the cast came and went. The writers and the director made a deliberate decision not to simply shove another actor into the same role. When a cast member left, they used it as an opportunity to take the show in a new direction. The same is true of Roundpeg. In our ten years in business, team members have come and gone. The hardest thing to learn was that I couldn’t cast a new member in the same role. Each new person...
read moreFaces of Roundpeg: The Boy Band
They had many nicknames in the Indy business community, but to us they will always be The Boy Band. An unlikely duo, Jay Mattingly and Taylor Brough shared a sense of fun and a passion for what they did which allowed them to find a collaborative rhythm. As solo artists they brought dramatically different backgrounds, skills and personality styles to Roundpeg. Taylor was the quiet one. He would often hesitate, thinking carefully about what he wanted to say. When he spoke up, it was worth paying attention. After three years of working together, he could read my mind and my...
