About the Author

My name is Sean Blanda and I’m the Associate Editor and Producer of 99U, the “think tank” of Behance in New York City. I’m obsessed with the future of media, especially when it comes to the business side.

I’m also one of the three co-founders of Technically Media though I stepped down from day-to-day operations on May 31, 2012.

I care a lot about Philadelphia, media and the way content is consumed online. I’ve spoken at events like WordCamp, ONA and SXSW. Folio named me one of the 13 under 30 to watch in media, which I though was very nice of them.

I’m endlessly fascinated with figuring out revenue models for content and journalism. I’ve been quoted in Fast Company and Smart CEO among other publications.

I play lots of soccer, poker and Risk. I drink obscene amounts of Cherry Coke, enjoy the occasional whiskey and the Fourth of July is my favorite holiday.
