First things first, let me introduce myself. I’m Nik, the creative director here at Spongecell. I joined up with the team about seven months ago after a two year stint at Yahoo!. Before that and like most other members of the team here at Spongecell, I attended Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, where I graduated with a Bachelors in Information Systems/Communication Design, and a Masters in Information Systems Management.

Whew! Glad that is out of the way.

Last night, I had the distinct pleasure of demoing the new Spongecell Rich Media Ads platform at SFBeta, a very highly visited and respected tech meetup in Downtown SF. I got to meet some great people, received a lot of great feedback, and had a blast doing it. It really seems like people are taking to the product and our value-adds over traditional display advertising, which is great to see.

As a company, we’re planning on a lot of different things, and we’re thinking about different ways to open ourselves up to the community. Yesterday was SFBeta, but tomorrow might be Lunch 2.0, and the day after that might be a softball game in Golden Gate Park against DIgg. Who knows – just keep your eye out!
