What made you want to join the Promoboxx team?
I wanted to join Promoboxx for a number of reasons, first of which is their truly unique platform. Brands and retailers have a hard time dealing with digital marketing and social media. Our product offers a really great solution to their digital marketing problems. I also wanted to join Promoboxx for the culture! Having a great product means nothing if you’re not working with great people. Here at Promoboxx we are lucky enough to have both!
Deserted on an island, what three things do you bring?
Fire Starter, Chap Stick, Water Bottle
What do you admire most in a brand?
I most admire brands that not only support a cause but live it. I believe that it is very important for companies to practice what they preach – not only to be charitable for promotions, but to truly believe in the cause they support.
What is one of your favorite things to do in Boston?
My favorite thing to do in Boston is to explore. I have been a student here for two years now and love discovering new neighborhoods and experiencing what they have to offer.
Do you have any hobbies?
My two passions are photography and travel! I love to visit new places and explore different cultures. I hope to make it to all seven continents! I also love using photography to capture moments in time. Like they say a picture is worth a thousand words…
What’s your favorite independent business in Boston?
The best Italian food I have had in Boston has not been in the North End…. It was on Mission Hill. A very very small restaurant called Lillie’s Gourmet Pasta with locations in Allston and Mission Hill. Walking in you would not expect much from the place, considering there is limited seating and most of their business is take out. That being said, they have amazing homemade sauces over their own freshly made pasta. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!
Thao is a senior at Simmons College studying Marketing.
