Reid Carr founded the Internet marketing firm Red Door Interactive in 2002 with four people and one office in downtown San Diego’s East Village. Today, the company has more than 50 employees with locations near Petco Park as well as Carlsbad and Denver. Red Door’s clients include Souplantation/Sweet Tomatoes, Rubio’s Fresh Mexican Grill and Cricket Communications.

Q: How would you describe Red Door Interactive to a person who wasn’t familiar with it?
A: Red Door provides Internet presence management to mid-size companies in a broad array of industries. Our services are geared toward helping brands connect seamlessly with customers across all digital touch points and profit from them.

Q: What makes San Diego, Denver and Carlsbad the right place at the right time?
A: It’s ironic because in our business, we focus on the notion that companies can be anywhere on the Web, but for us, having all three locations puts us in close proximity with our clients. Beyond that, our overarching theme is we can now offer employees the opportunity to be near a beach, mountain or urban setting. It’s less about where the work is done and more about providing a workspace for social collaboration; a destination that people want to come every day. We’re not finished yet — we will open more offices that accommodate the various lifestyles that employees want and attract the greatest talent wherever that talent wants to be.
