Spreading the Word
If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Figuring out how to get our work out there to as many people as possible has always been as central to our success at JibJab as creating the videos. You can create and produce the…

In Dedication to Dad
In praise of our pops we’d like to feature a few JibJab dads tonight, by way of our Starring You postables. These fathers helped shape our staff of funnymen and funnywomen, so give it up for them! You can make your own over at our Father’s Day category, with dozens of cards to choose from.

Written Up
Though we’ve yet to play court jester and premiere our upcoming political piece before the President, we’ve still had a few nice shout outs in the media this month. Today the Los Angeles Times caught up with Scott Kirsner about his new book on digital businesses and we got a shout out thanks to Scott’s…

No Dearth of Dad’s Day Stuff!
Father’s Day is this weekend, and even though we’re caught in a whirlwind of Obama related madness this week, your good pals at JibJab have not forgotten about dear old dad!

Go Kudobot Go!
Everyone at JibJab does the work of two or three people, and even though we’re a small, close-knit group… all too often someone does something really awesome that slips through the cracks, never to be shared with the team. That’s why last week we introduced a bold new initiative to applaud our colleagues in the…

Metrics Schmetrics
This may look like a bunch of normal guys, out drinking beer and having a good time… but if pictures could talk you’d hear things like “uniques”, “conversion rate”, “make-to-share ratio”, and “average recipients per share”. Yep, JibJab’s crack product engineering team is clearly no ordinary group of dudes sippin brews, here they’re fast at…

Jarl’s in Charge
Typically, we like to use friends and family when we cast a secondary character in one of our Original videos. For our upcoming Obama video, we needed to find someone in their 40/ 50s with a commanding physical presence to play a military General, and nobody from our immediate circle fit the bill. So where…
