A spirited entrepreneur, Joseph Vella has been pioneering interactive strategies for over 18 years. He ventured into the digital world in 1991 with the creation of Jazz Online, one of the internet’s earliest music sites and the first targeting the jazz audience. With this groundbreaking enterprise, Vella was involved in many industry firsts including the implementation of e-commerce solutions and the production of the first live jazz concert webcast using early wireless technology. As an early adopter of innovative web based technologies, he was called upon to advise a wide range of high profile companies including Warner Bros., EMI, Sony Entertainment and Universal, to develop their earliest online properties. With the formation of the resulting Vella Interactive (VI), he fluently transitioned his expertise to meet the ongoing evolution of the digital domain and has consistently and effectively integrated the newest technological advancements into VI’s arsenal of services. He has spent the past two decades as a creative force on the forefront of emerging technologies, focusing on the creation of interactive marketing strategies, audio and video production, e-commerce solutions, podcasting, wireless applications, and content development. Though he is extensively versed in all things digital, it is his innovative vision and innate marketing instincts that set him apart. Whether creating original content, producing a podcast series or implementing a social media marketing strategy, Vella is always inspired by using the most efficient interactive tools to craft each client’s unique story.
