Media companies are all about teams. A group of people comes together to create the website, fill it with content, spread the word about how great it is, and then sell like crazy. No media company is a one person project (at least not one that makes serious money), and at RightSite, we take building our team very seriously.
Since Chinese New Year we have interviewed more than 60 candidates for three positions to fill a total of six vacancies. During the month of March we have successfully brought on board three great new people, and I would like to take a few minute to explain who these new team members are and what they will be doing.
Our first new hire was our new Content Manager, Tina Qiu. Tina is originally from Chongqing and worked as a reporter and editor in both Chengdu and Shanghai before heading to the University of Missouri in the US to pick up her Master’s degree in Journalism. At RightSite, Tina is charged with managing our Community section content,, overseeing our listing content creation and helping out with our PR copy. It’s a busy job, but start-up companies are for energetic people.
Besides Tina, we have also brought on board two marketing interns, Floria Fu and Gong Yi. Our marketing interns help us with contacting RightSite’s customers to help build our directories of industrial zones and available properties. They also help with the translation of RightSite’s Community content and preparation of our email newsletter.
Floria is a fourth-year student at Tongji University, and Gong Yi is a fourth-year student at Shanghai University. Both of them share an interest in eCommerce and strong language skills.
During the month of April we plan to add two more interns and a marketing executive. And of course, we add these new members to our existing team of Carol Gao, Winni Chao and that Michael Cole guy. So the Tongren Lu office will be bursting at the seams as we crank out content and work at making RightSite the best known new B2B site in China.

Ah, this wonderful humor of yours; I almost miss working for you some days… Great to finally see your staff, but we’re still waiting for the occasion to meet the whole staff in real life at the launch pary.
