We are very proud to be honored as the second-fastest growing company by investment bank GP Bullhound! This accolade comes soon after being ranked 19th on the list of the Momentum Index’s 50 Ad Tech Companies.
SponsorPay and fellow German startup Flip4New topped the Media Momentum charts! Flip4New grew at a staggering 1652% CAGR between 2009 and 2011, relegating us – with a not too shabby 1271% CAGR in the same period – to second place. The entire list is provided below (courtesy of GP Bullhound).
Our offices have always been cool (if we may say so ourselves). They just got cooler.
The latest additions to our workplace (pictured below) include:
- a ‘beach bar’-style outdoor meeting area, just in time for Berlin’s wonderful summer, and
- an indoor ‘hang out’ space with massive Fatboy bean bags, a whiteboard (for Pictionary, Hangman and such) and a gorgeous, red – of course – Smeg fridge replete with beer.
Of course, as excited as we are with these developments, we’d love for there to be more folks to enjoy them!
Among others, we’re looking for product managers for our rapidly growing BrandEngage advertising solution, account managers and ad operations specialists for our industry-leading mobile platform as well as agency sales executives. We had an awesome 2011 and need top-quality talent to ensure this year is even better than the previous one.
Check out our Careers Site to learn more about our commercial success – how we’re one of Europe’s fastest growing startups – and, wonderful team that is Berlin’s most diverse (also smartest, nicest and best looking … but we digress). Look through our many open positions, find one or more that meet your fancy and apply today!
Lovely location! Great food! Fabulous drinks! Incredible people!
Perfect.
Here at SponsorPay, many of us are engaged in interesting endeavors outside of the walls of our (admittedly, very cool) offices. Our Lead Developer, Juan Vidal, saw a void in the job hunting market so he took it upon himself to offer up a solution by creating Hascore, a web portal listing the best Internet-based companies in Berlin, to help those involved with product development land a new gig.
We’re very happy to announce two new hires to the publisher team. Mike Pollack will be managing current partnerships as Director of Key Accounts while David Diaz will focus on growing the SponsorPay network as Senior Manager, Business Development. We’re very excited to have both of them on board!

BERLIN, Germany – A new study conducted by SponsorPay, the leading international cross-platform social advertising solution, found that consumers welcome the opportunity to watch sponsored videos in online games and not only recall these brands but also harbor positive sentiment towards them.
According to the findings, 72% of consumers welcome the opportunity to earn virtual currency by watching branded videos. Of those who have previously watched videos, 87% would like to engage more with branded videos in games.
SponsorPay’s first ever crack at Movember was extremely successful – we were able to raise over $1,300! Not only did that make us the second most successful team in Germany, it nearly made up 10% of the total amount of money raised in the country!
A big shout out to our Director of Marketing Projjol Banerjea who raised $402, the ninth highest individual total in Deutschland. Our North America and UK Advertiser Manager Tanya Lee also deserves a lot of credit — she was the one who brought the idea to the table. Finally, kudos to our entire team who came together to make it happen.
