For the 2nd consecutive year, appssavvy has been named by Lead411 as one of the “Hottest Companies in New York City.”
Lead411’s research team began with a list of nearly 2,500 companies and narrowed it down to the top 65, including appssavvy, as well as friends, such as Tumblr, BuzzFeed and Tremor Video to name a few.
Thanks to Lead411 for the recognition!

Earlier this month, we blogged (RSVP: Discussion on Native Advertising at 2013 International CES) about a session at this week’s 2013 International CES in Las Vegas focused on native advertising, including appssavvy’s Co-founder and CEO Chris Cunningham.
In case you weren’t among the more than 150 attendees, you can check out a video recap of the event thanks to Advertising Age below!
Happy New Year! At next week’s 2013 International CES in Las Vegas, Advertising Age, in partnership with IPG and Draftfcb, will present several events focused on different key issues surrounding technology usage and consumers and how best to connect and reach new consumers through the latest technology.
Among them is the session: Discussion on Native Advertising scheduled for January 8th at 4 p.m. at Villa 211 at the Encore Fairway Villas at the Wynn. RSVP here.
Leaders in the native advertising space, including appssavvy’s Chris Cunningham, Steven Rosenblatt of Foursquare, Lee Brown of Tumblr, Jonathan Perelman of BuzzFeed and Chris Miller of Draftfcb will tackle why the emerging medium isn’t a fad and how it is becoming mainstream in 2013. The discussion will be moderated by Dan Salmon of BMO Capital Markets and will address how brands and agencies are approaching the concept and how mobile advertising will be a catalyst for native advertising. And, key trends that marketers need to understand based on how innovative new platforms are building massive audiences and how to best communicate with them.
We hope to see you at CES and, again, RSVP here.
It was an honor and fun to have 32 Cornell University students, at our SoHo headquarters today for a “NYC Tech Trek” where students had the opportunity to learn first hand about the entrepreneurial and engineering/technology aspects of the NYC tech scene.
The students were a diverse group, both undergraduate and graduate, coming from multiple educational disciplines. Each student had to apply for the opportunity to trek into the city and visit appssavvy, as well as Thrillist, 10gen and Flybridge Capital Partners, and Behance.
Earlier in the day, appssavvy’s Co-founder and CEO Chris Cunningham, spoke to the business/entrepreneurship track and late this afternoon, Peter Wang, senior vice president of engineering, talked about engineering and technology.
It was a great day and exciting opportunity to contribute to the broader NYC tech and start-up scene alongside some great peer companies, and, more importantly, meet the next generation of techies and entrepreneurs!
