  • Berlin, Germany: glispa, a full-service digital agency, today announced it has chosen Berlin, Germany as its corporate headquarters. The move coincides with glispa’s strategic plans to expand its client base into the largely untapped German and European markets.

    The European online advertising market has grown more than 55% in 2007, exceeding its U.S. counterpart, which grew by 26% last year. After years of relative isolation and stagnant growth during the post-WWII era, Berlin, one of the most economical capital cities of the world, is

  • emerging as a new frontier – one of opportunity, especially for the online industry.

    Moreover, Germany has among the highest online population in Europe, and the location in Berlin was specifically selected based on factors including cost of living, access to an affordable international staff of talented professionals, and proximity to European-based clients, including Jamba, which centralized all of its European operations in Berlin. The glispa Berlin office has recently hired an additional 12 local team members.

    Gary Lin, President and Founder of glispa, said, “Like many, we firmly believe that Berlin is the city of the 21st century and are proud to be contributing to this city’s growth. We are pleased that glispa is expanding at a rate that requires us to find a larger space, and are equally excited by the complementary skill sets our

  • many new employees bring to glispa's clients.

    It was important for us to be in the booming capital of one of the largest online European markets, and close to our European clients, with whom we work with closely.

    The eco-friendly Berlin office is located in the booming Mitte neighborhood, houses executive, sales, service and administrative team members. Sales and client services teams in the U.S. and Brazil continue to serve glispa’s international client base.
