SAN FRANCISCO & ESSEN, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Clickworker has two excellent reasons to celebrate: Marc Ahr has joined the management team and the 200,000 clickworker mark has been reached.
The European market leader for paid crowdsourcing, Clickworker, is extending its management team with Marc Ahr joining as Managing Director. Together with Christian Rozsenich, Marc Ahr will manage the company as of April 1, 2012. As a team, they will be able to accelerate the growth of the company and make optimal use of their specific strengths in the areas of sales, marketing and technology.
Marc Ahr will be in charge of sales and marketing activities, and will extend our existing client base as well as win new client segments and continue to expand the market position of Clickworker. Before joining Clickworker Marc Ahr’s position was Director Mobile Messaging at YOC AG in Berlin. He is specialized in sales and product management optimization. His well-founded knowledge and practical experience will further strengthen Clickworker.
"The paid crowdsourcing approach fits in the globalized and networked working environment. The clickworkers are neither location nor time-bound, and can schedule work and free time according to their individual needs. For companies the use of crowdsourcing means overcoming the limitations of schedules, space or personnel. I am delighted to be part of a company whose business model not only focuses on the here and now, but is future-oriented instead", commented Marc Ahr.
In addition to reinforcement in the management team, the pool of registered users on www.clickworker.com has also increased. Worldwide there are currently a total of 200,000 so-called clickworkers working for customers in highly diverse projects and sectors. Working on a fee basis, they handle microjobs quickly and reliably in the text creation, translation, web research, tagging, categorization and survey sectors.
"It's great to watch the swift growth of our crowd! It is also a sign of trust that in the meantime one hundred new clickworkers register daily. Their individual abilities, qualifications and commitment are the motor of our company. In June 2009, we handled initial customer projects with only 800 registered users, a year later there were 40,000 users, then 100,000 and today, a further 9 months later there are already 200,000 users. This means that we can handle customer orders more quickly”, commented Christian Rozsenich upon reaching the workforce of 200,000 clickworkers.
