We compete internally about who can serve the client best. We're not kidding. We don't sleep and we don't eat until the job is done. Spoken Hub is privately owned and headquartered in New York City. We launched in August 2002 to service the mid-term elections that year. Spoken Hub believes the proper use of the telephone is as a medium of action and should be used interactively when communicating information. We build systems to combine the telephone with other media to achieve maximum presence, reach, and action.
Our senior team has an accomplished record in marketing, high technology, and grassroots, and we have worked together in multiple Fortune 100 companies and successful startups. We bring entrepreneurial energy to the frenzy and glory of the political campaign, be it electoral or legislative. We have an internal culture that belongs to the world of high-tech startups and the high standards and effectiveness of established and enduring businesses. Our experience in servicing many of the most important electoral campaigns in the country in the last five years, including the 2004 and 2008 presidential primary and general elections, has placed Spoken Hub precisely at the juncture of technology and politics.
