Today we welcome a new member to our team: meet Bryce Widelitz!

Hailing from West Los Angeles, Bryce steps onto the scene at Media Contour as our new Account Executive and brings with him a knack for detail and an entrepreneurial spirit. While studying Finance at The University of Arizona, Bryce co-founded designyourdorm.com which garnered major press attention from the press including Tech Crunch, The LA Times, Lifehacker, and The Washington Post. Bryce steps on board the team with experience in owning and running a website and knows the troughs and peaks of managing a successful website — an indispensable asset for our current and future clients. As a small business owner, Bryce fostered the success of his site by creating and maintaining a sterling rapport with his clients and a commitment to seeing things through to the end. On his off-time, you may find Bryce competing on the baseball field or DJing at one of your favorite clubs in West LA. Bryce may be reached online at bryce@mediacontour.com.
