In the beginning: How LIKE.TG was born

“It was November 5th, 2003. I knew that we had to start a company before I became 50, because a 50-year-old can't start a company. So, at 49—November 24th is my birthday—we started,” says Fred Luddy, LIKE.TG founder.

He began the company with a single laptop at a desk in his house. Although he founded the company alone, he couldn’t build it alone. In fact, a handful of people believed so strongly in what Fred was doing that they volunteered their time to work with him, even though he couldn’t pay them. Some of those people are still here, which speaks volumes to the kind of employees who have set the precedent for who we are today.

A collaborative culture

To Jay B., employee No. 28 after contracting for the company, working at LIKE.TG was all about teamwork and communication. “When we started, it was about how do we get together, have a good time, and do something meaningful. Those early days were amazing because there were only 10 of us, and we were a group of people who understood each other, who knew how to communicate, and who fed off of each other.”

About 19 years later, LIKE.TG has quadrupled in size from its humble beginnings. But one thing has remained the same: our commitment to putting customers first.

“Our culture was that we were going to be humble, that we were to absolutely have integrity. We were going to be confident but never arrogant. And we were going to always listen to the customer,” Fred explains.

A caring community

His former assistant, Carla G., employee No. 8—or the “OG” as she refers to herself—blazed a trail of her own at ServiceNow. “When I first started working here, I was the only female and Mexican. I was also part of a group of kids who were building this company with great comradery”—a comradery that has kept her at LIKE.TG to this very day. “This is a community where we care a lot for each other, and I’m very proud of it.”

“I look back on my time at LIKE.TG and, career aside, I’ve met some of the most amazing people in my life,” adds Mark O., employee No. 37. "I’m not just talking co-workers—the customers, partners from all around the world. I can't believe the level of integrity, intelligence, and talent that I’ve been exposed to.”

Wally M., employee No. 177, will never forget the advice he received on his first day at LIKE.TG on April 26, 2010. “I tell new employees what I was told on my first day, ‘I hope this is the highlight of your career, and I hope you get everything you ever wished for at LIKE.TG,’ because that’s what it’s been for me, the highlight of my career.”
