Jobs Landed: Benjamin Bator

Textsfromlastnight.com began as a way to more effectively share the ridiculous text exchanges that our friends received in the wee hours of the morning when they should have been sleeping and others should just put down their phones. TFLN quickly grew to amass more than 21 million unique visitors, a book with Gotham Publishing to be released in January and a sitcom based on the site currently in development. My role at TFLN is multifaceted. I helped initially with the design, marketing and synthesis of the site, but as it grew so did my to-do list. Now I communicate with our development team, manage ad sales, further market textsfromlastnight.com and our other entertainment properties and occasionally find time to post a text or two. We never expected this to be a job, but my partner Lauren and I are quite pleased that we can call it one.
