Joshua Stylman
Managing Partner
Reprise Media

As Managing Partner, Joshua oversees all aspects of the organization, from technology and product marketing to media management and sales. Joshua calls on more than a decade of experience in building and diversifying revenue streams for new media companies.

Prior to founding Reprise Media, Joshua was vice president of Business Development at Ask Jeeves, a leading search engine, where he worked on extending Ask Jeeves' revenue streams through the development of partnerships with media and technology companies. Joshua also oversaw Ask Jeeves' Syndication business, distributing their search technologies and monetization tools to other web sites, including MSN, About.com and Lycos.

Josh initially joined Ask Jeeves in April 1999 as the company's vice president of strategic partnerships, leading the initiative that moved the company's flagship web site, Ask.com, away from traditional banner ads and toward a more integrated advertising approach. Those programs, which catered to clients such as Expedia, Ford, and Britannica, were a key driver in his division's annual revenue growth from $500 thousand to $63 million.

Before Ask Jeeves, Stylman was co-founder and President of Rotomedia, Inc., a boutique consulting and advertising firm for web marketers and publishers, which was acquired by Ask Jeeves in April 1999.

Joshua received a BE from Stonybrook University in New York. A world-class rotisserie baseball player, Joshua also sits on the board of Into the Outside, a non-profit organization focused on enriching the educational experiences of students through field-based activities.

Along with Reprise Media managing partner Peter Hershberg, Joshua was recently named a finalist for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. His leadership was instrumental in Reprise Media being named to Entrepreneur Magazine's list of the 'Hot 100 Fastest Growing New Businesses in America' for the second straight year. (#26 in 2006)

Joshua has been cited in and has contributed to a number of publications, including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Business 2.0, TheStreet.com, Mediaweek and Advertising Age. He is a regular speaker at events including Search Engine Strategies, OMMA, Direct Marketing Association conferences & seminars and the Marketing Forum.
