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.

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."
