About Crowd Favorite
The Crowd Favorite name originated from our founder Alex King who, while watching a golf tournament, heard the announcer talking about a player and how, although that player was at the top of his sport, still took the time to look fans in the eyes, shake their hands, and sign their autographs until the last person got one. Alex wanted the same for his company and its clients.
As an expert developer and Open Source Software enthusiast, he set out to create an agency for established and scaling brands where clients could get elite technology services with a friendly, authentic, and approachable experience.
Today, we continue to use that ethos as our North Star – whether that means working with our clients and partners, giving back to the Open Source Community, giving back to underserved and underrepresented communities through Crowd Favorite Giving Days, or supporting our team in their professional growth – we embody the traits of a Crowd Favorite.
