Brooklyn / NYC / Philadelphia / LA

RTO+P is a full-service ad shop based in Philadelphia. Last month, we won Ad Age's "Small Agency of the Year (11-75 Employees)" award. We serve clients like Under Armour, NBC Universal, Planet Fitness and more. From a tech standpoint: we focus on the speed and quality of our work, and embrace bleeding-edge techniques and philosophies wherever we can.

We're looking for: Tech Lead, Lead/senior Rails engineer, Senior front-end developer, and more. We're approaching hiring with a "smart people first, skills second" mindset, so get at us. Agency experience is not required.

Philly people: Welcome to your new favorite place to be. The office in Philly is rad beyond description - built into the former penthouse apartment of John Wanamaker, directly next to Philly's City Hall, and loaded with more quirk and haberdash than you'll likely ever be able to fully observe. This is the beating heart of our agency. We've got an impressively sized (and growing) tech team and we're working on creating and building the best god-damned websites, apps, and experiments the world's ever seen. Seeking all positions.

Brooklyn/NYC people: This summer we opened a tech-focused outpost in DUMBO, Brooklyn. We're still building the BK team and are seeking developers, product people, and tech-centric designers. A small amount of travel can be expected, mainly to Philadelphia every few weeks (costs fully covered).

LA people: We just opened a killer office in Venice. We're looking to fill this office out as a mini-agency within the agency, capable of both full autonomy and working as part of the larger agency machine. Seeking all positions.

Please contact me at interactivejobs@redtettemer.com - attach your resume (required) and anything else to impress (code samples, portfolio, side project link, etc.).


Can't we just study @Horse_ebooks?


Most twitter bots use Markov chains


@scuzzlebot uses them... by the fact that he is an implementation of MegaHAL (http://megahal.alioth.debian.org/).

He's out of order right now. I plan to fix him when I've got time. For a while he ended up tweeting tons of nonsense with no spaces between words... my fault. Anyway I will fix him up again soon, but hope to (in my copious free time HAHAHAHAH) redo him in a more exciting way.


He has OFTEN been awkward and offensive. I do not censor him nor feel any obligation to do so.

RTO+P is a full-service ad shop based in Philadelphia. Last week, we won Ad Age's "Small Agency of the Year (11-75 Employees)" award. We serve clients like Under Armour, NBC Universal, Planet Fitness and more.

Brooklyn positions: We operate a small development outpost in DUMBO, Brooklyn - currently just yours truly and a few open desks waiting to be coded upon. From Brooklyn, you'll also be a part of a larger - but still small - organization of intensely creative pros. Some travel, mainly to Philadelphia, every couple weeks, should be expected (with costs fully covered, of course).

The site itself is not responsive. This seems counterintuitive. Demonstrate.


Comic Sans?


helvetica. comic sans just one place while trying to get attention on "run". Didnt like it?


Aesthetics are a big part of UI, and the default Booststrap aesthetic works only with some supplemented creativity.

I publish on Medium and parse my author RSS feed for display on my website. See it here, at the bottom: http://grrrando.com/

I think Medium is great. As is mentioned in the article, the editor is fantastic in its minimalism.

A key difference between myself and the author of this post is that I have no interest in creating or maintaining a blog (proper) of my own; I just want to write. I've wanted to write for a while, too, but the roadblock of setting something up and getting it looking decent prevented me from moving forward. For a while I thought Tumblr had been what I was looking for but text-based posts become utterly lost in the stream of naked ladies and pixel art (or is that just me?).

Stats wise, it's interesting to hear what an "Editor's Choice" pick on Medium can result in. I've got several posts on Medium that have 100 or fewer reads and they were posted to correct "collections". Which shows that Medium is not the place to build up an audience that you don't already have. Lacking the ability to "follow" an author – on-site at least, RSS is a non-advertised option – shows that Medium is more oriented towards "real time" (news cycle) longform than being a platform for authorship (for everyone besides maybe @ev and a handful of SV folks that always get featured).

My most popular article was posted about two weeks ago and has had around 2,000 reads. This isn't due to any Medium feature, though - just good old retweets and viral spreading. It was a satire listicle - prime viral material. Probably not what Medium was made for. Getting all of those reads, though, made me wonder exactly where all the traffic was coming from. I wish Medium had more in-depth analytics for this.
