Leading a team of graphic designers and developers I was also accountable for all creative and usability aspects of every widget, video player and Web site that the company developed. As a key performer for this growing start-up I was able to utilize a broad range of my creative and management skills to assist in all areas of the business: from hiring new employees, to acquiring new partners & contracts, preparing PPMs for investors, developing and planning new products, overseeing SEM and SEO efforts, as well as creating a solid and unique advertising model that has helped transform a struggling news industry.
