The company served over 4,000 SMBs. These experiences, along with the unexpected success of his wine blog, WineZag, reaffirmed a deep belief that authentic digital content& consistent online community engagement drive in-person networking to create a powerful brew capable of transforming personal and business brands. Prior to DigitalSherpa, Adam lead the creation of the largest network of regional luxury shelter media properties for Network Communications, Inc (NCI). While President there, he acquired or launched all of the properties that now make up most of Esteem Media, Inc.’s current portfolio. Earlier, Japko spent 14 years at PennWell Corporation, a privately held business-to-business information provider serving the global Technology, Energy, and Municipal Services markets as President and Chief Operating Officer of the Advanced Technology Division and member of the company’s board of directors.

Elizabeth Ralls is an 11-year magazine-industry veteran who put down roots in Atlanta nearly a decade ago and now resides in Buckhead with her family of five. A shelter editor and writer by trade (and by default, photo stylist and/or child and dog whisperer on shoots), she’s constantly searching for great design for the pages of Atlanta’s only monthly home and garden publication, Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles.
