Timeline
The Crakmedia story begins in 2004 with three roommates, who launched a humor website featuring pictures and videos which visitors could rank by voting.
In 2006, with the motivation and vision of traffic monetization, the trio launched a corporate entity called Crakmedia. As the team grew larger, they decided to create their own web marketing company by offering web billboard and banner contracts to advertisers. Their great intuition took off very quickly!
Today, thousands of professionals use Crakmedia’s solutions. We are proud to be one of the most influential marketing networks in the industry worldwide.
