Oneupweb Brings Its Internationally Acclaimed Online Marketing Business to West Grand Traverse Bay

Casual Dress Code, Office Dogs and Employee-Friendly Atmosphere All Part of Another Day's Work at New Oneupweb Global Headquarters.

November 8, 2007 (TRAVERSE CITY, MI) — It's 7:45 a.m. Caffeine-fiends gather in the modern coffee bar. Others exchange morning pleasantries in the lobby as the sun rises over the bay. And Kirby, Chloe and Fritter tear through the hallways in a rousing game of fetch.

Welcome to Oneupweb.

"We're a little different from the norm," laughs Lisa Wehr, CEO and founder of the award-winning integrated online marketing company. It is her vision that has become reality in the brand new 23,000 square foot global headquarters located in Traverse City, Michigan.

This office marks the fifth expansion for Oneupweb since 2000, when Wehr relocated her online marketing business to Northern Michigan. But while company billings have nearly doubled each year and staff has grown more than 700 percent, the atmosphere remains the same.

"We wear jeans. We listen to Vanilla Ice and Aretha Franklin through satellite radio," explains Lisa. "We also have some of the most technologically advanced equipment including high speed internet connections and state-of-the-art podcasting capabilities."

Lisa used this unique combination as inspiration when designing Oneupweb's new global headquarters. The interior now reflects a modern retro contemporary design with creative stained glass artwork from local Traverse City craftsman Guido Goldkuhle. Each workstation has a bay view, and boardrooms come complete with client video/audio conference capabilities and a working fireplace. The exterior includes 580 feet of West Grand Traverse Bay frontage with a strategically placed seating area to enjoy it.

But the favorite feature among Oneupweb staff is the game room. Stocked with foosball, shuffle board, ping pong, Nintendo Wii and arcade machines with classics like Paperboy and Mortal Kombat, there's something for everyone.

"We work hard and we play hard," Lisa points out. "Employees are encouraged to share ideas, information and talents. The entire building has been designed to reflect this."

And it seems to be working. Oneupweb has recently been honored with several awards that include 2006 Michigan Top 50 Company to Watch and Michigan Small Business Innovation Award Finalist for PodTractor™ — Oneupweb's podcast tracking system.

The company was recently recognized as a leading advocate for training Michigan by Governor Granholm as a part of the No Worker Left Behind initiative.

"We're pleased to play a growing role in promoting our region and the state of Michigan as both a lifestyle destination and home to a viable economy for future business growth," Lisa says. "Our new global headquarters reiterates our commitment to the people and businesses of Northern Michigan."
