The city of Tacoma has been evolving rapidly over the past
couple decades. Many news events have happened in this city during this time,
but a particular local news publisher has earned plenty of attention in the
midst of events. Exit133 initially started as an experiment while Tacoma was
thriving, Exit133 gained attention. Exit133 focuses on local art, politics, and
real estate. The website has received some recognition from the AIA (American
Institute of Architects.)
The person responsible for Exit133’s success is Derek Young.
Derek’s professional career includes technology and marketing, having studied
at the University of the Puget Sound and University of Washington. His range of
professional experience ranges over 15 years, having been a project manager,
global marketing program manager, publisher of Exit133, and co-founder of
Tacoma Runners.
Tacoma Runners stands as one of his most interesting
projects. It’s a weekly gathering of running enthusiasts who meet up at local
bars and taverns. It’s a good representation of how social media sites like
Twitter and Facebook have shaped the success of projects and businesses.
