#HistoryofWhomYouKnow The Growth of #WhomYouKnow

When Whom You Know began nearly 13 years ago in 2009, many companies still didn’t have websites, nevermind emails. The term influencer didn’t exist, and we are proud to say that Peachy Deegan was one of the first. Growth to our site is nothing new: fortunately we have always grown, slowly but surely.

In the age of covid, certainly being online has become even more crucial as the internet quite literally connects the world.

Central to our philosophy is our belief in the pursuit of excellence across disciplines, which is derived from Peachy’s years at Boston College, where the motto is Ever to Excel which of course comes from the Iliad. Being an actual person and being good for her word, Peachy actually meets and knows many of the brands we publish on and it’s often at Manhattan’s Javits Center. She makes intelligent recommendations across 200 columns which concentrates on fashion, culinary pursuits and entertainment.

Her cross-discipline approach sets her apart as many influencers concentrate on one category only, but we are thinkers so we concentrate on an idea: excellence. We have simple taste: we like the best.

Peachy has been educated at the world’s best: from being a four-year senior at Miss Porter’s School where she was elected to the Alumnae Board of Directors in her late 20s to graduating with a B.A. in American History at Boston College, founded in 1863 by Irish Immigrants, Peachy has studied and ranked high in honor rolls and Deans Lists in her past life not to mention having a successful career in Corporate America prior to being an entrepreneur. She also spent a semester abroad at University College Cork in Ireland where she was on the student radio with a sports show.

To be successful in the media in a true fashion, one must have actual credentials. Peachy once interned at CBS News in New York, Hartford and Boston and has been published by The Hartford Courant and the Associated Press in her younger years.

Another key to our success is we only publish on positive experiences. Many negative experiences have occurred; such is life. We don’t waste your time with those inferior products and experiences and ultimately, the people behind it that absolutely do not pursue excellence. We celebrate people that want to win and do win.

We aim to cater to the intelligent with discriminating taste around the world, with mostly an American audience with significant interest from Europe: particularly the UK, Ireland, France and Italy. We are typically read in dozens of languages a day and dozens more countries thanks to the beauty of translation on the internet and search engines of course.

We just released our Best of 2021 and have come out with a Best of List for every year except 2020 which obviously did not have a lot of great anything, thanks to dishonesty in lesser governments than the USA!

The #Best of #2021 According to #WhomYouKnow #PeachyDeegan @ManhattanPeachy Final Listhttps://www.whomyouknow.com/2021/12/thebestof2021-day-twenty-four.html#.Ycn_eGjMK5c

We love America and America loves us. We have a “Made in America” column and American manufacturing is the best. Our favorite American product is the Chevrolet Corvette and love that @CorvetteRacing follows us on Twitter. We look forward to hearing from many more great people and brands in 2022.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
