JEB BANNER – Smallbox, Founder and CEO
In 1999, Jeb discovered eBay. A few months and a large record collection later and StuffE was launched. (It should be noted that said record collection also inaugurated Jeb’s record collecting habit which he has yet to kick.) After building StuffE into a mildly successful eBay consignment business he partnered with Dan Ripley to launch Antique Helper, an online auction house that married Dan’s knowledge and network with Jeb’s online auction systems. By the end of 2005, Antique Helper had grown into a successful business with $3 million in annual sales, but Jeb decided it was time to move on.
In 2006 Jeb and Joe founded SmallBox, landing Nuvo Newsweekly as their first client. As the company grew it moved beyond websites to become a fully integrated web marketing company. In early 2012, Jeb began to lead the company towards deeper consulting engagements, working with clients on organizational health issues. This led to a new focus on “culture-powered marketing”.
