Our recent interview with Amielle Lake, CEO of Tagga Media
momovan (mmv): Congrats on being selected to be the new face of momovan.
Amielle Lake (AL): Thank you. It was a great event, and I got to keep my hat.
mmv: Is this your first time at a momovan event?
AL: Yes.
mmv: How did you hear about it?
AL: I got a phone call from WINBC asking if I could present at the Oct 6th event.
mmv: Were most of the faces in the room familiar? New?
AL: A bit of both. There was the comfort of knowing some folks and feeling at home and the opportunity to be introduced to others in the community. It was a great mix of business types, development types and investors. I also really liked that there were so many students, they provide a different dynamic and approach the issues in a different way. There weren’t too many reps from the sales and marketing side, but that really is just more a function of Vancouver than of the event itself.
mmv: Did you find the sessions useful?
AL: Yes. Panels are a great format and an excellent way to have a focused discussion. The set-up was a good for learning and for interacting in a meaningful way. I also enjoyed Ron’s tips. The evening itself was a good mix talking and networking as well as the more organized sessions where a lot of information can be disseminated in a short period of time.
mmv: Suggestions for the future?
AL: I think themed nights are a good way to focus on a specific topic and drill down enough to get useful information to take away. Keeping things a little shorter is good too. I stayed to the very end and really enjoyed the panel on mobile voting. But it was almost too much for a single evening and I felt badly that most people left and didn’t get to hear the last session.
mmv: What do you enjoy most about your day at Tagga?
AL: The people that I work with and the fact that there is always something new. When you are a start-up everything is pressing and you spend a lot of time with your team and your clients and you bond very quickly and get to know each other very well.
mmv: Okay, and now a few random questions for you. Are you from Vancouver?
AL: Almost. I was born in Toronto, but I was raised in Vancouver.
mmv: Do you ski or snowboard?
AL: Ski.
mmv: Favorite beer?
AL: Heffeweizen.
mmv: Will you come again?
AL: Yes!
