-Unique, 1st to market technology to dynamically deploy and track innovative marketing and branding campaigns within leading mobile apps and games saving publishers money and time.
-An executive and business team that see the need, value and reality that advertising can be better with respect to how brands reach people.
-Encouraged full circle, cross departmental team collaboration.
-Employees are complimented and reminded they are doing the right things.
-Great team culture
|
-Market reality that startups might not always take flight
-Trying to sell something new to brand advertisers is not always the easiest given how agency buyers plan and spend their budgets.
-So many different app/game build environment types with some publishers wanting to deploy custom campaigns leveraging their own tool sets vs. 3rd party
-Lack in ability to sell custom in game programs to agencies/brands at timely pace required
-Heavy competition in a saturated mobile gaming market with a laundry list of firms offering similar solutions to brand, agencies and publishers.

The best client ever!
|
|
MediaSpike is the best client I ever had. All it took was 1 meeting via Skype to confirm the deal. (I'm based in Singapore) 2 weeks later, video was completed and payment received. Yes, payment was made within the 2 weeks after the first meeting. No hassle and MediaSpike knew what they wanted. If all clients were like MediaSpike, the world would be a much better place.
|
From my experience, there are no downsides with MediaSpike. Everyone working in MediaSpike rocks. Led by example. Blake is truly a rockstar.

Couldn’t be a better experience
|
|
The company is comprised of a group of talented people who are a blast to work with. In my time at MediaSpike ( > 1 year), I had the opportunity to dive into new technologies, learn new languages, and build awesome software, all alongside a talented team. I feel my experience at MediaSpike has helped me grow both as an engineer, and as a person. I wouldn't change a thing.
|
Like all startups, the road to success is tumultuously uncertain. This can create some stressful times, but also makes every win that much more awesome.

I found the management extremely effective. There was a great deal of transparency around every decision, which I very much appreciated. My only advice for the management would be to place a greater emphasis on raising investor capital.

Great team to work for
|
|
One of the places in my career that I believe I learned and grew the most as an engineer and as a person, the CEO was great to work with and the team was awesome. Very professional and considerate environment that was able to get work done and at the same time create a fun work space.
|
Still a small company so it lacks the cool perks of large companies if that is what is important to someones career choices

Great team, great product
|

Never will you find a more passionate group of folks dedicated to bringing brand integrations into mobile/desktop apps.
|
Nature of agency/brand market is up/down which led to slower market adoption - wish the startup had 6 more months to close those accounts

One of the best!
|
|
MediaSpike was the first Start-Up I worked for and I must say I loved it!
We were not just co-workers, we were family. Although everyone was hired for a specific job, we all wore multiple hats and everyone, including the executive team, was always will to help.
I don't have any regrets working at MediaSpike, I would do it again in a heart beat!
|
The only complaint I have is not tied to MediaSpike, its tied to starts-ups overall. Its the roller coaster ride of growing a company. It can be overwhelming.

Fantastic Team
|
|
Definitely the best thing about working at MediaSpike is the team. A phenomenal team, extremely talented and very supportive of one another.
Probably the only place I've ever worked that was consistent about providing transparency for the entire team and encouraging people to learn about every part of the business.
|
Naturally, there's always the stress of being in a small startup. That being said, the team was supportive of encouraging people to have work/life balance and not burn out.
