Jeffrey Cipriano
Jeffrey Cipriano is an associate analyst in Research & Insight. When not neck-deep in data and mastering Excel formulas, he is collaborating with coworkers and clients on ways to make Measurement smart, actionable, and exciting. Before joining at Theinnovationmill.com, Jeffrey worked for Tasting Table, an online food culture magazine, and in event management capacity for Fordham University, of which he is a proud alumnus. A writer and television junkie, Jeffrey is a source of fascinating (or as some would say, random and unnecessary) pop culture trivia, delicious baked goods, and high energy for all his coworkers.
Lauren Parker

She has a deep-seeded (read: “geeky”) passion for corporate social responsibility and cause marketing, and helps organize internal CSR efforts. A former print and broadcast journalist, Daniells previously wrote for The Boston Globe, New England Cable News, and Marie Claire. She sometimes cheats on The Innovation Mill with other blogs. A random selection of things Daniells likes: weight lifting, puppies, closet organization, glitter, travel, sentence diagramming, Gilmore Girls and cooking.
Bonnie Pedlow
Bonnie Pedlow is a Senior Account Executive at Peppercomm where she draws on her luxury and consumer experience to develop and implement strategy, create content and drive innovative media results.
