CollegeHumor’s New Production Spinoff: Notional; Van Veen’s Heading It | paidContent

innonate:

rickyv:

In December of 1999, Josh and I created CollegeHumor.com on a laptop while DJ’ing an office Christmas party in Baltimore. In December of this year, I will have been running the editorial side of the business for ten years. According to Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers, that makes me an expert in dick jokes.

So, with that valuable wisdom in my head, I will be transitioning out of my role at CollegeHumor at the end of the year. Per the above link, I’ll be heading up a new production company for IAC called Notional. I’ll still be involved  in CH at a high level, just not the day-to-day. To be honest, the whole team at CH is so amazing right now that I doubt they’ll even notice I left. Notional will produce content for all platforms, but initially specialize in TV shows.

Anyway, more info to come. I’m expecting this to be really challenging – I’ve got a ton to learn. But hopefully it’ll be super fun as well.
