Robin Jones served as the original vice president of programming at Radio Disney where she launched the media property and grew it into the number one radio network for kids and families in the U.S.  Jones' efforts at Radio Disney directly influenced the success of such bands as Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus and Hilary Duff.  Jones is currently building a new brand that promotes fun, global discovery and kid-to-kid charitable giving with GeoWhiz Universe LLC.

Rosalind Wiseman is an internationally recognized expert on children, teens, parenting, bullying, social justice and ethical leadership.  Each year Wiseman works with tens of thousands of students, educators, parents, counselors, coaches, and administrators to create communities based on the belief that each person has the responsibility to treat themselves and others with dignity.  Her book Queen Bees and Wannabes served as the basis for the movie Mean Girls; with her follow-up book Queen Bee Moms and Kingpin Dads being made into a motion picture by New Line Cinema.  

Jeben Berg was one of YouTube's lead innovators after the Google acquisition, creating and developing advertising-driven products and programming for YouTube and Google.  Berg has been at the forefront of emerging media before it was even called that, with creative and strategic leadership roles for major brands such as Levis, Adidas, LucasArts, Paramount and Toyota.  

The advisory board will work closely with imbee CEO Alan Anderson to expand existing site features, develop new experiences for users, explore key initiatives and evolve the site technology.  "My goal is to make imbee the most desired and creative place for tweens to hang out online," said Alan Anderson.  "All of us at imbee understand that when it comes to using social media, the demographic that we serve are truly super-users.  Taking advantage of the immense talent of these three individuals will only serve to make imbee the premiere online destination for tweens."
