It’s been a couple of weeks since our last edition of Meet the Reputation.com Team, but we’re back in a big (and international) way. Last time out, we said hello to Tom Thompson, one of our dedicated client solutions managers. Today, we want to introduce you to Marketing Manager Adam Faughnan.

Who are you and what do you do?

My name is Adam Faughnan and I am a Marketing Manager here at Reputation.com. If a person sees our ads online or hears us on the radio, there is a good chance my sweat and toil went into creating it…and analyzing it…and refining it.

What did you do prior to joining Reputation.com?

I’m Irish and got my Masters in E-Commerce. After meeting my wife in San Francisco, while visiting as a student, I took the plunge and decided to live the “American Dream” (I got a big screen TV) and worked with a marketing company, MyPoints, for three years. I then worked as a Product Manager for an online casino in Ireland, managing both the product offering (Blackjack loses its charm after five hours of testing) and technical support.

What attracted you to Reputation.com?

I came to RD because of the people that work here and the overall goal of the company, which is to help and protect individuals online. That, and the free lunches on Friday.

Why do you think it’s important for people to manage their reputations online?

We are truly living in a world where everyone has a presence online, whether you like it or not. Managing your reputation is crucial in your life, whether it is the difference between getting a job or promotion, or just in how people think of you in general. Your life is shaped by your reputation and we help you shape it in the right way.

When you’re not helping individuals control and protect their good names online, what do you like to do in your spare time?

I play football (soccer for most Americans, but we called it football first and actually kick the ball with our feet) a couple of times a week. Also, my new born baby is keeping me busy.
