Today we’d like to introduce you to Allison Dressler Kramer and Evan Sussman.
Evan started Hero4Hire after the web series he co-created, Fizzy’s Lunch Lab was picked up by PBS Kids. The web series went on to be nominated for three Emmy Awards. After working in network television (Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon and truTV) for 10 years Allison moved from NYC to Boston and became the EP at H4H, a few years later Evan and Allison became business partners growing the company from a staff of 3 to 15 employees.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
In the early years there were great financial struggles. We kept our staff lean and our overhead low and grew and continue to grow the company at a nice even pace. We have more projects than ever so our staff size has increased but we are still able to handle projects of varying sizes and degrees of difficulty. We love the challenge of finding the right style for a specific budget.
