GETTING STREAMMeet the ePrizer: Tamara!
Posted by Melissa Summers on Tuesday, November 22, 2011 in Culture
This week ePrize is thankful for Tamara, our Loyalty Director.
ePrize jumped at the chance to snatch up Tamara this past June. She comes from Border's loyalty program. She was familiar with ePrize because back in 2007 she was a client and worked with ePrize on a video contest.
She lives in Brighton with her husband, Nick, and her 3 kids, plus an 8-year-old dog named Persia.
Tamara is a fan of the Impressionism period.
Birthday: August 15
She shares a birthday with Joe Jonas, Ben Affleck, Princess Ann, and Melinda Gates. (Together they'd make a really unexpected cover band.)
School: Eastern Michigan University; she was part of that awkward teenage-like phase during the Huron to Eagle transition.

What one attribute makes you a good fit in your position?
"Only one? If it's only one, then a passion for customer loyalty. If I can have one more, the ability to do something kick ass that no one has done before."
The smurfs like to do kick ass stunts, too!
Have you had any brushes with fame?
"I interned for Fox Broadcasting & Universal Music Group in college and was able to meet a number of TV news personalities & musical artists. TV personalities were local to Detroit but the artists include [LINKS]Brian McKnight, Sheryl Crow & Montell Jordan. I also waited on a couple of pseudo-celebrities at a diner back in college. Dr. Jack Kevorkian (good tipper) & Pam Dawber (not so good of a tipper). I used to work with Madonna's cousin (Madonna is probably the only person I would freak out to meet) and work with Kid Rock's ex-girlfriend (who broke up with him because he 'wasn't going anywhere'…this was 6 months before Bawitdaba broke)."
Favorite movie as a child?
"It's a tie – The Princess Bride or The Goonies"
What's your position on LOL Cats?
"Had to Google it…"
Need a snack? Tamara's got you.
What's something you wish more people knew about you?
"Not so much "wish" for people to know about this, but I actually started out my career in public relations. I stumbled into loyalty as part of a PR assignment and I was fascinated. I am a strong believer that everything happens for a reason; so I went with it and here I am!"
Guilty Pleasure?
"America's Next Top Model & Project Runway…I also LOVE truffles."
