Zoomph, the social media engagement startup out of Reston, Va., recently expanded its team to include three new positions in sales and business development and is currently looking to hire at least two new developers. The developers will come aboard to support Zoomph's rollout of its mobile app, which hit iOS three weeks ago and should be available for Android by the end of 2013, according to Amir Zonozi, community manager for the company.
The new hires bring Zoomph's total full-time workforce to 15. Rachel Lore, Zoomph's new senior content strategist and lead marketing representative, has been with the company for ten weeks but says that it "feels like it's been a year, in a good way."
Zoomph's
platform provides companies with a simple way to visualize, analyze and curate social media content posted about their brand. The mobile app launch is "aimed at helping people at live events manage content on the go," says Lore. "It also provides more opportunity for collaboration and to get quick analytics on a feed."
Client demand drove the creation of Zoomph's app; according to Zonozi, the company now has clients in multiple verticals, including sports, fashion and the entertainment industry. Zoomph is the social media partner for
Monumental Sports, owner of the Washington Capitals, Wizards and Mystics, and now provides teams with their game-day social media hubs. "The social media hubs allow fans to engage in real time on a second screen during the game," Lore explains.
Zoomph is hiring one .NET developer and one front-end developer. Zonozi says that the new developers will support the creation of "more features for customized event displays," among other platform expansions. Depending on client demand, Zoomph could hire a third developer in a month or so. "If we find two great .NET developers, we'd hire them," Lore adds. "We're about developing talent, rather than filling slots."
