And what’s even better? We have a behind-the-scenes interview with the talented people behind Teachers & Co. right here for you to read. Check it out:
What do you do?
We are a newly launched educator-focused website, putting the power back in the teachers hands. Our website provides teachers and parents with free classroom resources, includes peer reviews on educational partners and products, and offers teachers discounts from companies across the country. We also provide a community blog with educator authors discussing pressing topics in education.
Why did you start your business?
We began as a group of educators, wanting to give back to the education community. Imagine what would happen if teachers, parents and students began to rate education products like we review restaurants? The power will be unstoppable. The end result will be meaningful.
What is unique about your business?
Teachers and Company provides free access to over 4 million educators nationwide and their student’s parents. We want these educators to have their voice back. We want to give them the power to review, communicate, and collaborate on their own terms. We are an agile need to know space.
Do you need help with 6th grade math homework? – We’ve got you covered!
Do you need to know what real teachers AND parents are saying about that new reading program – We’ve got you covered!
Or maybe you are looking for a coupon/discount for organizing my classroom – We’ve got you covered!
Why did you decide to work with Doodle Dog?
Like everything we do at Teachers and Company we want the only the highest quality and we knew from experience and word of mouth that of course and it was Doodle Dog!
What’s your favorite part of your new look?
It’s clean, uncluttered, and easy to use!
What advice would you give someone considering a rebrand or relaunch?
Pick a great partner, plan, plan and then plan some more. But be sure to take your time. Don’t set your expectations to do it all overnight. We have a great team, and everyone contributes their strong suits, so in the end the culmination is a success. And don’t forget to relax; it will all come together!
What are people saying about your new brand and site?
We have already had folks comment on how clean the site looks. Many educator sites are cluttered, outdated and hard to navigate. We have had lots of positive feedback so far on the ease of use. We of course, always want more feedback, so tell your friends to stop by and tell us what they think and leave us a note!
What three word would you use to describe your business?
TEACHER. VOICE. EMPOWER.
What’s on your playlist?
There is a team of us, but we all love some old school rock and roll. Our Chief Academic Officer has Janis Joplin queued up, and our Chief Officer of Operations is always listening to Bruno Mars and Taylor Swift!
Where do you like to shop?
We are huge fans of auctions, antiques and soon to be ‘tiques. We always find some little thing we just cant live without. It is a part of our team culture to shop together! Oh, and The Container Store because once you buy that many treasures you are going to need some storage!
Where do you find inspiration?
From our CAO, “I love to watch the tide come in, the colors-sounds-smells; they make my mind spin with new ideas.”
Our COO says, “In daily life. Since we are still in and out of schools everyday across the country, it’s easy to see the problems that exist, and my mind works on overdrive thinking of how Teachers and Company can support teachers and improve the quality of education in our country.”
