Doonesbury Helped Make Pandora A Success

11/27/07

Pandora co-founder Tim Westergren last week recalled two instances where old media acutally help move new media on an upward trajectory.

Westergren explained that Pandora has received  a lot of press coverage over the years — in print, on screen, etc. However, the only press hit that materially changed our growth trajectory was Doonesbury. Westergren says, "We were the subject of two consecutive Doonesbury cartoons. You can go in and see on our growth path where the Doonesbury article hit.'

Here are Gary Trudeau's cartoons from  Nov. 27 and Nov. 28, 2007.
