John Chow Invades The ShoeMoney Media Group Offices

Posted on: July 16th, 2008 by Jeremy Schoemaker

Last Friday was the last day a lot of the people were here for the Top Affiliate Challenge.  I invited those who wanted to to come over for a short tour of the offices ;)

I only live like 1 block away from the offices so the tour then went there.

We have been getting a lot of questions about what the new office looks like so here you go courtesy of John Chow

    I remember Google sending us a fridge when we did a million leads on Adwords (for all clients). It was extremely cool (no pun intended), but because I was based in the UK and they delivered it to the US office I had to leave it behind. I think also the voltage was likely to be wrong for the UK.

    Like your thinking on the walking past the employees on the way to the john or the kitchen.

    Very nice. So I am confused. Was the pool a part of the offices or was that at your house? Either way….looks good.

    Seriously, those are awesome. Definitely on my ‘to buy’ list, along with 16GB of ram, a couple of TB of hard disk space… etc. etc. hehe.

    Very nice house! My office currently consists of my PC on a desk in the corner of the bedroom! Maybe one day I’ll have a office….

    Yeah hire a decorator. Spice it up a bit.

  10. Austin(Cowsgonemadd3)
    July 18, 2008 at 10:36 am

    It looks like those old style ones from the 50’s and 60’s. We have one that we use on the farm.

  11. Austin(Cowsgonemadd3)
    July 18, 2008 at 10:35 am

    Really they are 30 inches? They didn’t look that big? I thought my 21 inch crt was big….

  12. Austin(Cowsgonemadd3)
    July 18, 2008 at 10:34 am

    Haha, I was wondering if it was you or another Zac.

    Yeah you could get one of those military spec notebooks.

  14. Austin(Cowsgonemadd3)
    July 18, 2008 at 10:32 am

    Maybe so but they are a big company and I bet they didnt do this when they were a small company.

    Yeah I saw this on Johnchows website last night. Nice place you have!

    Dual 30” Cinema displays – that’s a phenomenal setup. Crazy amount of screen space on there. Color me jealous with my dual 24s.

    Shoe posted where he got the logo from. Just scroll back through the archive and you can find the details about it.

    Yeah, the office did look kind of bare… needs more whiteboards. :)

    Wow- looked smaller in the video. I am SOOOOO jealous! Do love my Dell 24s, though.

    Shoe house rocks! The Shoemoney logo in the pool and in the office main door looks really cool. Even the pool is branded :-)

    Nice office but you need to get some stuff on the walls. Maybe some Michael Godard paintings…

  31. Enkay Blog
    July 16, 2008 at 11:13 pm

    hahaha, yeah 30″ is the standard it seems now. What happened to the days when you were doing it big with 22″?

  32. Enkay Blog
    July 16, 2008 at 11:12 pm

    I think it might actually be a mosaic and may not be posted. Can anyone confirm this?

    At least you can still do work with all the distractions you brought into the office, most people get an office to get out of the distractions of working from home.

    you have a very nice office…btw, why does your shoemoneymedia.com not as fix as it should be? most of the links are referenced to “#”

    Good office and cool gadgets too, I saw the video this morning in John Chow’s blog, he posted about the new office too. It was pretty hilarious when he said that his office is closed and he was kicked out by the landlord because he tought that JC is a drug dealer :d lol
