A Note from Mike Dragosavich, Founder of Spotlight Media “I built Faces to spotlight the best businesses in each city and give sales pros a product that’s genuinely fun to sell. You’re not begging for budget—you’re offering something prestigious, limited, and incredibly valuable for local businesses. If you love the chase, love the close, and want to be part of something that’s expanding into multiple markets, this is the place. You won’t be stuck maintaining accounts—you’ll be building something new and exciting with us. If this sounds like a fit, I want to talk to you.”, —

Mike Dragosavich, Founder
