Meet the CEO of CPX Interactive, Mike Seiman

 Mike Seiman is the CEO and Co-Founder of CPX Interactive, a progressive online ad network and global marketing company recently named by Inc. Magazine as the 6th fastest growing privately held advertising and marketing company in the US.

While a student at Hofstra University, Seiman teamed up with his business partner, now CTO of CPX Interactive, to begin monetizing a handful of entertainment websites they had created together. The ad server they built in 1999 set new standards for the industry and developed into a global company that now employs more than 90 people and serves more than 30 billion online ad impressions, in more than 60 countries, every month.

Seiman prides himself on his drive to ‘give back’ and he has leveraged CPX’s huge distribution power to do just that. Through its philanthropic division, CPXample, CPX has contributed millions of ad impressions across its vast network to causes including Save Darfur, Live Earth, American Diabetes Association and Children International. In 2008, Seiman decided to step up CPXample’s ‘skin in the game’ by creating and promoting its own ‘Get Out the Vote’ video and campaign called Vote For It! ’08 (www.voteforit08.org) which boasted a litany of  hip-hop royalty. CPX produced the video and drove more than 1.3 million views to it on YouTube.

Seiman is also extremely active on a personal level with these causes and with others, including the Hebrew Educational Society and the alumni association of his alma mater, Hofstra University.

Outside of his role in CPX Interactive, Seiman is also a principal of an indie movie production house, Chaos2, which has recently completed its first feature length project, the retro-style ‘slasher flick,’ Bloodnight: The Legend of Mary Hatchet.

Mike Seiman has always had extremely high standards for himself in both his personal and business lives. This commitment to excellence stems from a belief that the best way to engage a challenge is to “… see it as an opportunity to discover the best possible version of one’s self, and to help those around you do the same.”
