Almedia

Welcome to issue one of Built at Almedia. In this series, we explore and celebrate the great things our team members have built. Our Art Director Wjatscheslaw Sperling had a problem: he wanted one place to find every ad creative and see how it performed. Digital Asset Management tools were expensive, and couldn't link creative to results, so he built his own. Now, 50 colleagues use it every day. “I’m a designer, not an engineer, and I was able to build this.” Got a great idea? Build something with us: almedia.co/careers

We’re back from the Almedia Annual Kick-Off on the beautiful Costa Brava! 🇪🇸 ✈️ Every year, the whole Almedia team comes together from all over the world to set our goals for the year ahead. Leaving our Berlin hub by chartered jet, we grouped up for 12 workshops on initiatives to get us to the next level, across all departments from data to branding. We even announced our milestones of $500M+ paid out to Freecash users, and $1B revenue run rate. Don’t worry, we still squeezed in some socialising, boating, and good food. We were in Costa Brava after all. Keep your eyes peeled for what Almedia and Freecash have cooked up, and if you want to come to the next #AlmediaAKO, we have plenty of open roles here 👉 https://almedia.co/careers Enjoy a heavily-curated selection of pictures from the trip, and we’ll see you next time!

In case you somehow missed the Almedia team talking about the big news these past couple of days... Freecash has now paid out over $500 million to users since 2020! Our business model of rewarding users has helped Almedia reach a $1 billion annual revenue run rate, three times what we generated in 2025.

"Our ARPDAU with Almedia is maybe 10 times higher than our usual channels." Original Games is an AI-driven studio making Merge-2 games, and it has worked with Freecash for several years. Its Almedia users spend through purchases, not just ads: the revenue split is 75% IAP, against the studios usual 50/50. Installs tripled in Q1 2026. Watch Original Games founder Arseny Lebedev explain why his studio chooses Almedia. If you want rewarded users who actually pay, see how it works for your titles: https://lnkd.in/dqTbtaYi
