WHO WE ARE 

Allison and Jeremy Schubert founded Lunabean.com in 1999. What began as a "community of gamers" soon grew into a highly esteemed video game strategy guide publishing company. Because Allison and Jeremy focused early on building their community with the social media tools of the time (message boards, chat, webcams, blogs, etc.), their small business now competes with companies like Gamespot and IGN, which are owned by CBS and Rupert Murdoch's NewsCorp, respectively.

While Jeremy and Allison were laying the groundwork for Lunabean, they spent a considerable amount of time in wineries and restaurants. In 2003 Allison and Jeremy asked the then owner of Panther Creek Cellars (Allison's father), if they could open up a tasting room at the McMinnville, OR winery. What began as two people standing behind a table pouring wine on the second Saturday of every month, has now blossomed into a fully staffed (and fully furnished) tasting room, open seven days a week. While the quality of the product is what allowed for such growth, it was Allison and Jeremy's grasp on social media that initially drove people to the tasting room and their email marketing campaign that kept customers coming back.

While Team Lunabean continues to love gaming, wine, restaurants and cats (just accept it), it has been the social media aspect of growing these businesses that has truly fascinated them. This is why, in 2009, Jeremy and Allison established Lunabean Media, a web consulting firm in Portland, Oregon. With Lunabean Media, Allison and Jeremy want to share their social media expertise with your business.
