Joey Blanco, Customer Storyteller
Like all good stories, Joey Blanco's starts with dinosaurs. Jurassic Park opened his eyes to the power of a good narrative, setting him on a path that led not to cloning extinct species, but instead to sharing customer journeys. As Zapier's Customer Storyteller, Joey chats with Zapier's user base, learning about their efficiencies, tips, and tricks—and then shares them wide in a story. If he's not writing a story, odds are Joey's playing bass, defending the semi-colon, or corralling his two dogs. A few of Joey's articles:
- Boss Mom Saves 5+ Hours Each Week Automating Projects
- Indiegogo Automatically Manages Leads and Contacts
- How to Save Hours Every Week with Webhooks
Jessica Greene, Contributing Writer
During a decade-long career in digital marketing, Jessica discovered three things she's passionate about: writing, teaching, and finding creative ways to streamline day-to-day tasks. Today, she combines those passions as a professional writer, writing blog posts that teach people how to boost their productivity in both business and life. When she’s not writing, she's usually playing video games with her family or singing a silly song to one of her cats. A few of Jessica's articles:
