Description
Dmitri Vietze, Founder and CEO of rock paper scissors, inc., remembers the day he decided he was going to stay in Bloomington. He took his child to WonderLab Museum, visited the Bloomington Farmers Market, and attended a fair in the Square. He didn’t have to move his car, didn’t have to stand in any lines, barely spent any money and thought, “This life is pretty amazing.”

A
People
always
ask
me
why
and
how
I
could
run
a
PR
firm
that
works
with
international
musicians
and
technology
companies
from
New
York
to
Portland,
to
Toronto
to
Tokyo
in
little
Bloomington
Indiana.
It
didn't
hurt
that
the
Lotus
festival
was
already
hand
Bloomington
great
international
cultural
event,
one
of
the
best
in
the
country.
It
made
sense
to
me
that
if
this
town
could
have
such
a
beautiful
celebration
of
the
entire
town
that
we
could
run
a
PR
firm
from
here
I
mean
the
Internet's
been
around
a
lot
longer
than
Google
a
quake.
A
Company
tree
Pizza
I
am
the
founder
and
CEO
of
rock
paper
scissors
and
another
company
called
scram
rock
paper.
Scissors
is
a
PR
firm,
we're
helping
both
musicians,
festivals
and
technology.
Companies
get
press
coverage
anywhere
from
the
New
York
Times
to
Wired,
magazine
TechCrunch
or
national
vibranium
story.
Amp
is
an
automated
music
PR
platform
where
musicians
can
put
in
their
two
days
or
their
releases,
and
they
automatically
get
to
sent
us
to
Roma
journalists.
A
I
remember
the
day
that
I
decided
I
was
going
to
stay
in
Bloomington
brought
my
kid
to
wonder:
laughs
great
little
children's
Science
Museum.
We
have
here
most
of
the
farmers
market.
There
was
a
fair
going
on
on
the
square.
We've
got
this
great
downtown
square
where
there's
all
sorts
of
the
best
I
just
move
the
car
I
didn't
stand
in
line.
I
barely
spent
any
money
and
I
find
this
life.
That
was
pretty
exciting.
A
One
of
the
reasons
I'm
excited
about
the
mill
is
because
it's
right
here
in
downtown
Bloomington,
everyone's
gonna
know
about
it.
It's
gonna
be
constant
events
going
on
where
it's
before
you
kind
of
have
to
seek
these
things
out.
It
wasn't
always
easy
to
find
in
my
work:
I've
partnered
with
co-working
and
incubator
spaces
in
Chicago
and
Nashville,
and
what
I've
seen
in
those
spaces
is
co-working
is
a
piece
of
it,
but
there's
a
huge
part
of
it
where
it's
about
the
networking.
A
It's
about
the
companies
that
are
house
they're,
working
together
or
being
a
landing
place
to
springboard
for
somebody,
who's
coming
in
from
out
of
town,
sit
down
and
have
a
bunch
of
meetings
and
talk
to
everyone
they
need
to,
and
those
are
big
cities
Nashville
Chicago.
So
it's
super
amazing
pretend
like
Bloomington
to
launch
something
of
this
magnitude,
because
what
you
get
is
you
get
that
networking
event
you
get
those
events
where
there's
training
and
mentoring
and
all
that
stuff
going
on.
