According to Wikipedia, “A team comprises a group of people linked in a common purpose. A group in itself does not necessarily constitute a team. Teams normally have members with complementary skills and generate synergy through a coordinated effort which allows each member to maximize his or her strengths…”
This is a great description of the Mixpo Product and Technology team. Our team last night was honored as the winner of the “Team of the Year” by the British Columbia Technology Industry Association (BCTIA) and its 2009 Technology Impact Awards (TIAs). The Mixpo team was up against TELUS, a national telecommunications company in Canada, with $9.7 billion of annual revenue. Can you say, “David vs. Goliath?”
The BCTIA’s TIAs, now its 15th year, shine a spotlight on the people and innovation that sets the standard and serve as role models in British Columbia. Mixpo was founded in Victoria and a vast majority of our Product and Technology team is housed in our offices North of the Border.
So, why was the Mixpo team honored? Simply put, over the past couple of years they’ve delivered. According to the BCTIA and based on our submission, they were asked to change “direction mid-stream – one of the most difficult tasks an organization can undertake, and it that requires a solid team to execute.”
The BCTIA went on to write about the Mixpo team, “In the rapidly changing and competitive technology market of digital marketing, Mixpo’s team provided the momentum, savvy, and innovation to drive the company’s future profitability.”
We’re very proud of our Product and Technology team. They are the backbone of Mixpo and our efforts to be the best online video advertising technology company in the world making rich media VideoAds accessible to local advertisers, large or small. Great job team and congrats!
