::puts on marketing hat::

I don’t often talk about work on this blog because I think that a lot of it would come off as boring at best and bragging at worst. I absolutely love my job, and could have cool things to say every day, but I know it’d get tiring and a lot of people wouldn’t be interested.

That said, Cornerstone just helped launch a new series called “Windows Presents The Me Series” that profiles entrepreneurs and local business owners who operate their “mobile offices” using a Windows Phone. This is the first video in the series, featuring SuChin Pak, who some may recognize from her time as an MTV VJ. She co-founded the Hester Street Fair, located on the Lower East Side here in New York.

This is a short video profile on SuChin Pak, co-founder of the Hester Street Fair: a creative open-market in New York City’s diverse Lower East Side community. The fair’s local vendors offer an eclectic mix of vintage home accessories, gourmet food, designer fashion, and more. Suchin uses Windows Phone (phone, email, People Hub) to coordinate and communicate with vendors, along with the smart phone’s Camera and Social Media features to keep customers updated on the fair’s exciting specials, upcoming events, and more.

Windows Phone presents the Me series, a collection of short film essays exploring a day in the life of creative Windows Phone users. With seamless connectivity between contacts and social networks in the People Hub, one touch searching from Bing and the only phone to come with Office Mobile built-in, Windows Phone allows these users to create and connect anywhere, at any time.
