SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Globant (NYSE:
GLOB), a digitally native technology services company focused on
creating digital journeys, is proud to announce that StarmeUp, its
proprietary employee engagement platform, has been recognized as a
Silver Winner as a top Mobile App for Business in the W³ Awards, as
well as signing its largest client to-date - Banco Santander - with
over 180,000 potential users.
StarmeUp is a recognition platform developed to help
organizations strengthen their corporate culture by using
gamification techniques and leveraging big data to engage employees
and encourage a positive team mindset, while simultaneously
delivering key insights on employee satisfaction, performance and
hidden talent.
Originally developed as an internal program, StarmeUp most
recently secured Santander Group, a leading retail and commercial
bank, based in Spain, with a
meaningful market share in 10 core countries in Europe and the Americas and 124 million
customers, as its largest client with over 180,000 potential users.
Additional StarmeUp clients span the range of banking, media and
technology companies in the US, Latin
America and Europe.
The W³ Awards honor creative excellence on the web and recognize
the people behind award winning sites, marketing programs, social
content, mobile site/apps and online video. The W³ Awards is the
first major web competition to be accessible to a range of firms
from small agencies to Fortune 500 companies. In its eleventh year,
the awards this year received over 5,000 entries, only selecting
the best of the Web, as judged by the Academy of Interactive and
Visual Arts.
"StarmeUp has been a fundamental tool for Globant to both grow
our team, share our spirit and help other companies ensure a
healthy, scalable corporate culture," said Martin Migoya, CEO and co-founder of Globant.
"As Globant continues to service world-leading brands, we expect
StarmeUp to soon become a staple of employee engagement programs
across the world."

judges, and an expanding client base, we could not be more
confident in our outlook for StarmeUp heading into 2017," said

recognition, positive client feedback and an expanding roster of
users, including prominent companies such as Santander and Scripps
Networks Interactive, send a strong message that StarmeUp is a
premier platform for employee engagement and the maintenance and
expansion of a healthy corporate culture."
