One of the most frequently asked questions we get here at Chitika is, "What's it like to work there" and more importantly what is it that we do exactly? Well, we have your answers in the form of our newly redesigned Careers page! We wanted to show the world what life is like inside Chitika, who our people are, and what types of projects you could find yourself working on. 
What Chitika perks are our favorite?
As we race through September with new product developments and record-breaking Insights reports, we haven't forgotten the importance of our hiring initiative. More specifically, the future Chitikans that have just started class this month! To kick off our recruiting efforts in the college world for the class of 2013, we will be attending WPI's Fall Career Fair on September 19th from 1pm-5pm. So, to the tech geeks, math nerds, and science whizzes of WPI - we're looking for you! Chitika is always on the hunt for fresh talent.
As we move through 2012, we're always thinking of ways to improve what we currently offer. From our products to our perks, we like to incorporate innovative, never-been-done ways to give us an edge over the competition. Most recently, we've implemented our new Wednesday Start Date program for new hires. So what is the Wednesday Start day all about? Most people have their last day at their old job on a Friday, and are expected to report into work at their new job the following Monday morning.
We're super excited to announce that Matt Kojalo has joined Chitika as the GM of our quickly-growing Mobile Advertising Division. Matt comes to Chitika with over 15 years of experience working with a range of companies - from small startups to national mobile operators and large-scale international advertisers. Prior to joining Chitika, Matt was the VP of Global Advertising at Poynt, where he secured and monetized worldwide advertising opportunities for the company. He has also previously held the position as VP of Biz Dev at MocoSpace, the largest mobile gaming community in North America.
At Chitika, innovation is something we are able to successfully incorporate into all aspects of our company. You've heard about our unique office atmosphere, but it's important not to forget about who we are - a data analytics company and online ad network. In Sunday's Worcester Telegram & Gazette, Jon Towne, correspondent, detailed Chitika's ahead-of-the-curve approach to Mobile Advertising and how we use location and interest-based targeting to effectively deliver high-performing ads.
For a publisher that is new to Chitika, figuring out which of our ad types is the best fit for your website can be a challenge. Not to worry - we have it all laid out so you can pick the ad units that will suit you and your site's needs.
Chitika is proud to announce that we are now supporting all countries worldwide with our ad units. Up until now, our supported countries were the US, CA, UK, GB, DE, IT, ES NL, DK, NO, SE and India. Now that this is no longer the case, we are excited for all countries to be able to run Chitika ads successfully. If you were previously outside of your supported countries list, now is the time to get started with Chitika! To sign up for an account, click here.
At Chitika, we pride ourselves on a very important quality that sets us aside from the competition: our dedication to building and maintaining strong, meaningful relationships with our publishers. Our customer support is always available to help, whether its by phone, email, or Facebook. We also love to share news with our publishers - from our new products, to our latest office robot. This month marks an occasion that we are particularly proud of, which is 70 months of consecutive on-time payments to our network of publishers.
"It is like nothing I've ever seen before," are the words that Katelyn Tivnan of New England Cable News used to describe the culture at Chitika after visiting our Westborough, MA Headquarters this week. Our incredible set of perks aren't just about fun and games (although we have a ton of it!), but are in place to keep us focused on bringing our A+ game to the table every day, putting our energy into creating the most exciting, innovative, new products and technologies for our network of publishers - without having to worry about getting laundry done when we get home at night. Take a peek at what life is like inside Chitika, "The Google of MetroWest", in this news clip from NECN's evening broadcast, and let us know what your favorite office perks are! Oh and one more thing... if you like what you see, come work with us! We're hiring: chitika.com/careers
After you open a Chitika account, it might seem like the only thing to do is copy and paste the ad code onto your website. However, there are many different things to consider before doing so in order to effectively maximize your potential revenue with Chitika. There are three main ways to monetize: Ad Placement, Ad Customization, and the use of Multiple ads.
