Zoomd is Now a Public Company | An Open Letter From Our CEO

Press Release

Last week marked an exciting milestone for us at Zoomd as we became a publicly-traded company. Zoomd has successfully completed a public offering raising CA $9.26 million at a price of CA $1 per share and started trading today on the Toronto Stock Exchange Ventures (TSXv) under the ticker ZOMD.

I am delighted to be now able to share the excitement we had in the past year as a result of the hard work. Without a doubt, this incredible milestone would not have been made possible without the contribution and efforts of many people around us — and I wish to thank here each and every one of them. First of all, It’s, of course, the vote of trust of our investors and partners that made this vision come true. My special appreciation also goes out to our loyal clients, especially those who shared our vision through each stage of our evolution. Through the years, they have continued to inspire us and actually help us evolve, improve, and innovate. The biggest appreciation goes to the company’s employees that supported and made this happen, providing actual quality results to our partners and bring the winning team spirit that needed to create a solid disruptive MarTech company.

In 2017 Zoomd merged with Moblin in order to establish ourselves as the industry-leading user acquisition platform combining onsite search data insights. The successful merger resulted in the development of a unified search and mobile app user acquisition solution that empowers customers such as Poker Stars Group, Shein, bWin (GVC Group), FoxNews, 90Min, Alibaba Group, Wowcher, TikTok, ComScore, NHN and many more. We’re grateful to each one of our clients for their fruitful cooperation, and for helping us fuel our company’s growth.

On this strong basis, we started to grow very rapidly, we moved to bright new office space, to enable us to integrate the fast-expanding team, either here in our main headquarters or all over the world, as we developed and strengthened alliances in Brazil, Korea, and other geos. We rapidly move forward with our vision to incorporate the knowledge basis from both the publisher side and from the advertiser’s side in one platform, providing our partners important data insights, each one needs, to improve their overall results and performance. The intent data that we accumulate on a daily basis allows us to provide the smartest campaigns that our clients and partners count on us to provide.

With a strong team of professionals, dedicating themselves every day to the mission of bringing the best results to the table, we are now ready to take the company to the next level. The TSXv builds a strong foundation for our global expansion, attracting more partners, customers, investors, and talents to team up with our journey. The strength of our company is proof of our team’s dedication to excellence in the field of MarTech. I am more confident than ever that we have the best team, strategy, and the operational expertise to continue our successful journey for all our partners and of course our shareholders.

So where do we go from here?

Big thanks and applause to everyone who has supported us thus far; Employees, Customers, Partners, and Investors. Thank you for having taken and continuing to take this journey with us. And we’re just getting started! We look forward to expanding our product offering, establish a presence in new geos, continuing to serve our partners with innovative ways, keeping our team spirit and strengths as we move forward.

I am deeply proud to have led this brilliant team up to this happy milestone and elated to head up together to our next goals, along our exciting journey.
