Metro News: Do415 is Now DoTheBay, Big Staff Changes at Do312, and the Mariners Host Do206 Night

Our regular Metro News updates highlight big wins, cool ideas, and notable events from around the Network so you can stay up to date on what your counterparts around the U.S., Canada, and Mexico are doing. 

We’ve had a major expansion, a few new staff additions and some reshuffles, and our first Major League Baseball partnership. Read all about it below!

Introducing DoTheBay

Do415 launched over three years ago in January 2012 to help the good people of San Francisco find more awesome stuff to do each day. But sure enough it was becoming harder to match the Do415 brand with their growing audiences in Oakland, Berkeley, Santa Rosa, San Jose, and other parts of the greater Bay Area.

So with a lot of planning and preparation, Do415 made the switch to DoTheBay on May 1st. Now, in addition to serving the city of San Francisco, their site also covers all the East Bay, North Bay, and South Bay communities.



All events in the Bay Area are visible on the main DoTheBay site, but users can also narrow down their location by clicking on one of the four Lenses. It’s a really seamless method for combining all the geographic areas without overwhelming users, and one that other metros may look to copy as they expand.

As one of the oldest members of the Network, it’s exciting to see the DoTheBay team reach this milestone and we can’t wait to help them continue to grow!

Staff Changes at Do312

There have been a number of big additions and reshuffling at the Do312 office lately so we wanted to make sure you were all aware of everyone’s new roles.

First, the lovely Jeremy Scheuch is transitioning into a new role and is now Creative Consultant and Merchandise Manager for DoStuff Media. He’ll still be based in Chicago but will be helping us all step up our game with content and promotions. His new email is jeremy [at] dostuffmedia.com.

Second, our own Graham Hickey has stepped into a dual role doing sales for both the DoStuff Network and Do312. Your relationship with him coordinating programs in your local market won’t change, but he’ll also be running local sales for Do312 at the same.

Third, Scott Cramer has transitioned from his operations and marketing role at Do312 into the full GM position. Scott has been critical to Do312’s growth from the start so we’re excited to see him in this new role.

Finally, after 4+ years with Do312, John Simon is leaving as CM to pursue graduate studies at Northwestern University. Stepping into his shoes is Do312’s newest member, Katie Karpowicz. Katie came to us from iHeartRadio, but is no stranger to Do312. She was a Tastemaker and a blog contributor in the past, and has been covering Chicago’s music and nightlife scene for years.

Do206 Night at Safeco Field

Tuesday night was Do206 Night at the Seattle Mariners game. Jay and Rich and the Do206 team worked with the Mariners organization to turn an entire section of Safeco Field into the Do206 section.

Do206 users and friends got discounted tickets to sit in the section along with free custom-designed Mariners shirts. Local artist Shelby Earl even performed in the concourse behind the section before the game.


If you have any questions about the event be sure to reach out to Jay at Do206.

2014 Goose Island Tastemaker Series Recap

DoStuff just released the recap video from the 2014 Tastemaker Series presented by Goose Island. It does a great job of showing off to advertisers what we can do as a Network, and shows to users that we know how to party.
