We Are TST Media

TST Media is the melding of our collective passions and talents. We are a small company doing very big things.

We're the underdog team no one saw coming, and we're playing for the love of the game. While the competition is bogged down with bloated bureaucracy and obsolete technology, we are busy getting things done and pushing the envelope. We are efficient, agile, and damn good at what we do. We are a team in every sense of the word. We are ecstatic about our company and the products and services that we offer. We love interacting with our clients- and nothing makes us more excited than their success. When they look great, we look good. Great is in the details, and we sweat the details.

Culture

We believe in a culture that encourages us to utilize our skills and talents to truly influence the growth of our company as a whole, while at the same time enriching the experiences of our customers. We thrive in an open, relaxed, creative atmosphere- as part of a team of extremely talented individuals in a fantastic loft-style office space (13 foot ceilings, hardwood floors, brick and timber finish, and tons of windows) located in the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District. We work hard... and play hard.

History

Founded in 2004, we found success with Team Sport Technologies, our sports-specific web applications. The applications enabled amateur sports organizations to efficiently manage a website with little or no previous technical knowledge. TST Media, under the Team Sport Technologies brand, released a complete roster of sports specific products for hockey, soccer, basketball, lacrosse, baseball, softball, football, volleyball, swimming and others.

The products empowered organization managers to truly harness the power of the web, regardless of their technical skill level. The websites included a combination of online tools (online registration, interactive multi-team calendars, highly sophisticated statistic engines, etc.) that made publishing website content, sharing information and communicating with members extremely easy.

In 2009, we consolidated our various organization products and their features into a single platform called NGIN. Gone are the days of juggling multiple online vendors and frustrating service integration. NGIN has been developed to address these challenges within a single, consistent online platform. No more silly triangle diagrams or confusing integration flow-charts. From day one, everything just works.
