Funny Business Leads to Profits as New Website Provides Solutions - It's No April Fools Joke

/PRNewswire/ -- Is it OK for a company to have a sense of humor? Could having a sense of humor actually increase profitability? The answer, according to a newly launched website from The Corporate Jester, Jeff Rogers, is a resounding yes!

Top Fortune 500 Companies including Bank of America, General Motors, Home Depot, McDonald's, Motorola, PepsiCo and Pfizer agree. The newly launched website: http://www.thecorporatejester.com, designed by Koasynth, reveals how organizations can engage and energize their workforces.

Rogers, a professional host/emcee, keynote speaker, actor and writer, brings more than 20 years experience to the corporate stage. His award-winning creative company, The Corporate Jester, Inc., has become a trusted partner for companies looking for new ways to reach higher levels and achieve ambitious goals.

The Corporate Jester believes a major profitability indicator is how much fun a company is willing to have at their own expense. "Senior executives don't need to be stand-up comedians; that's my job as host," says Rogers. "But the level to which they are willing to 'play' onstage is a good indicator of their character and the company culture as a whole. A well-rounded culture celebrates the good times and can withstand the tough times."

Jeff Rogers knows the power of humor. Beginning his career as a stand-up comic, he was the runner-up of the Chicago's Hottest Comics competition in 1989. This led to a position at Chicago's world-famous Second City Theater, where he shared the stage with Steve Carell from NBC's The Office; Stephen Colbert from The Colbert Report; and future stars of Saturday Night Live Rachel Dratch, Horatio Sanz and Tina Fey. Rogers also helped build Second City Communications before striking out on his own and starting The Corporate Jester.

The Corporate Jester's goal? To save audiences from the dreaded "Death by PowerPoint." This approach has made Rogers one of North America's most in-demand stage personalities for corporations, associations, and meeting & event production companies.
