Impact of Gaming Content

Upwork and Fiverr, along with their respective CEOs, have both received an immense amount of media attention in the last six months due to widespread interest in the so-called "gig economy." Fiverr's recent successful IPO has generated even more media attention.

UPWORK AND STEPHANIE KASRIEL
Upwork has received an unusual amount of media attention in the last quarter due to both its fluctuating stock prices and releasing multiple reports that have gained the attention of the freelancing sector.

FIVERR AND MICHA KAUFMAN
Note: Due to its recent successful IPO and a general interest in the "gig economy," Fiverr has been at the heart of an immense amount of media coverage in the last six months. Consequently, a complete listing of every article written about the company and/or its CEO would take us well outside of the bounds of a single Wonder request, especially when paired with the unusually high amount of media coverage for Upwork shown above.


While a second round of research might yield additional useful articles, based on the over fifty articles listed below, it is likely that continuing attempts would result in diminishing returns due to increasing overlap in the article contents.
