Skyword Relocates to One PPG Place, Plans for Continued Pittsburgh Expansion
(PRWEB) September 24, 2015 -- Skyword, Inc, the leading content marketing platform and services company, announced the opening of a new, expanded office space at One PPG Place. The company moved its operations from Three Gateway Center to the new location to accommodate its continued need to grow its development, engineering, and product management teams.
Skyword brings together enterprise-class technology, a network of 4,600 professional freelancers, and in-house editorial and project management services to help global brands connect with their audiences through original storytelling. Using Skyword's platform, brands have the ability to publish stories at scale, establish a seamless workflow, and manage the creation process in one place.
Skyword powers content marketing initiatives for brands and publishers, including Autotrader, Entertainment Weekly, IBM, Iron Mountain, MasterCard International, United Way Worldwide, and more.
Headquartered in Boston, the company’s technology and development team is based in Pittsburgh, led by Chief Technology Officer John Mihalik. Mihalik plans to grow the team 20 percent by the end of this year.
“The move to PPG marks a major milestone for Skyword,” said Mihalik. “Over the past few years we’ve built a software that empowers brands to adopt an entirely new model for reaching customers. Technology is key for brands to scale these efforts, and we're proud of the work our team in Pittsburgh is doing to make the Skyword Platform a critical tool.”
As brands look to differentiate themselves among audiences that have become blind to many forms of traditional advertising, informing and entertaining consumers through original, sustainable storytelling is becoming a key way to build audience and revenue. According reports by Content Marketing Institute and MarketingProfs, more than 86 percent of B2B and 77 percent of B2C organizations use content marketing.
“We’re thrilled about the expansion of Skyword’s offices,” said Tom Gerace, founder and CEO. “This move allows us to take advantage of the software development talent in Pittsburgh as we transform how today’s leading brands are marketing today.”
Skyword’s new address is:
One PPG Place
Suite 1950
Pittsburgh, PA 15222
Phone numbers remain the same.
