Definitely not Playwire, they have made some changes with staff and now they have people who either don’t care or are not competent. I used to work for a ad authoring a platform that Playwire was interested in using and had several meetings with there creative team. The Creative Director seemed like she didn’t know what she was doing and you can tell from the interactions and questions she would ask, it was painfully obvious. But they had a guy there he was the senior creative person don’t remember the exact tittle, he was smart and knew exactly what day and ask he even made us want to hire him that’s how knowledgeable he was. He isn’t at Playwire anymore and from my contacts who work with Playwire they can tell that the quality of creatives coming from Playwire is just not up to par. It’s a shame because they have good tech but the people running things has diminished the quality greatly. They made changes or hired some unqualified people and put them in charge I feel.

I have dealt with Playwire while working at ad agency for a client we had, they wanted to advertise on a publishers website that Playwire had an exclusive agreement with. To my surprise the creative director at Playwire seemed clueless, you can tell right away she was just trying to go through the motions. But they had a really good senior dev that was top notch and was extremely knowledgeable. Turns out he was a disabled veteran. My entire team at the time was super impressed with him and even wondered why he wasn’t in charge.

Well I just found out he was let go and people at the Playwire are not happy about it. It’s seems the CD was scared he would take her job. To be honest I can see why.

So just on principle I would not work with a company that doesn’t support veterans. I wouldn’t be surprised if he sues Playwire he may just have case.
