rTag, Inc. needed the time and the people in L.A. to find out who it is we really were as a company, but the time has come. All of the founding staff, barring myself, have left rTag, Inc. It is time to take all of the lessons learned and rebuild the team in San Francisco. It is time to digest the past 24 months and define the next phase of growth for rTag, Inc. Our focus will continue to be mobile gaming and marketing and we will continue to push the limits of mobile hardware.

This next phase will include a suite of mobile games and some turn-key services for business, allowing them to benefit from the outstanding growth in mobile. One new aspect of the future will be the inclusion of rTag Professional Services, allowing rTag, Inc. to hire out our mobile development team.

Why S.F.? There are tons of reasons. The scene for innovative digital work has always been strong and supportive here. There is also money that is interested in supporting new ideas. There are more serious engineers here, fewer weekend warrior types. All in all, the Bay Area has and still provides the most fertile ground in which to hustle innovative gaming and marketing ideas.

“rTag has been a great technology partner of the Grand Rapids Griffins. The photo contest that we created towards the end of our season not only got our fans more engaged at our games, but provided our sales team with leads.  It was another unique way of interacting with our fans both inside and outside of the arena.  The crew at rTag has been great to work with, from coming up with ideas on contests to run to timely implementation of those ideas.  I would highly recommend rTag to any forward thinking company.”

“rTag did a great job helping Mountain High build its database.  The photo program they implemented for us was easy to use, increased our social media interaction, and generated tons of opt-in users.”
