About Limelight

Our story

The Limelight story began back in 2014, when founder Jonah Midanik set out to find the answer to a problem that he kept coming across while running major consumer brands. After founding national boutique advertising agency Immersion Media in 2001, and later heading up Marketing and Operations for Virgin Gaming, Ultimate Gaming and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), he consistently faced the same challenge: ‘How do we know that our events, sponsorships and activations are working?

While Jonah and his team were running live marketing for brands and partners like Mercedes, Sony, Rogers, GameStop, and 2KSports, they watched huge advances in data, analytics, personalization and security happen in marketing channel after marketing channel. Digital marketers could easily justify their marketing spend and ROI with data-driven insights from each campaign, but event and experiential marketers did not have the same data available. 

The team wanted to help marketers bring experiential data to the table and justify the ROI of their live marketing campaigns by replicating the advances they saw in social, media buying, email and mobile. When it became apparent that a good answer to this problem wasn’t already available in the market, they set out to build it themselves.
