Locally focused social advertising automation firm plans to bring 25 jobs to the region
Tiger Pistol, the only social advertising platform that delivers local activation at global scale, plans to open its first operation outside of its headquarters in Austin, Texas, bringing at least 25 new jobs to Cleveland.
The company, which ranks in the Top 100 of the Inc. 5000 list of Texas’ fastest-growing private companies and in the Top 5 among advertising and marketing companies, is considering a space on West Sixth Street in the Warehouse District of Downtown Cleveland for its Cleveland office. The expansion will further accelerate Tiger Pistol’s innovation roadmap for tools that help global brands, agencies, and resellers capitalize on the benefits of Facebook and Instagram advertising.
Tiger Pistol cites the Cleveland-area’s pool of technology and marketing expertise and affordability as some of the key driving factors for expansion into the market.
Tiger Pistol CEO, Paul Elliott is no stranger to building successful marketing companies in Cleveland. “Having had the opportunity to build my own digital marketing agency here, as well as serve in a leadership capacity for other outstanding Cleveland-based marketing and technology organizations, I am well aware of the amazing assets we have access to here in Cleveland,” said Elliott. “Cleveland’s world-class marketing and technology talent and their amazing work ethic is a competitive advantage when building and scaling a business. Our Cleveland expansion will help further strengthen our social advertising offering, which is already the dominant solution for multi-location marketers.”
The company considered other locations throughout the Midwest, but a team comprising the city of Cleveland, Project Management Consultants, JobsOhio and Team NEO collaborated to ensure Tiger Pistol would choose Cleveland for its expansion. The project is still subject to approval of state and local incentives.
“The City of Cleveland welcomes Tiger Pistol’s decision to invest and grow in Cleveland,” said Mayor Frank G. Jackson. “This investment reflects the continued growth of Cleveland’s technology sector and we look forward to working with them on their expansion.”
Citing a quality workforce and Ohio’s business climate as benefits to operating in Northeast Ohio, Bill Koehler, CEO of Team NEO, added, “Northeast Ohio is home to great companies looking to deepen their digital marketing and technology capabilities in order to grow. Tiger Pistol’s decision to invest here is a strong statement about the depth and breadth of the digital technology capabilities in this market. We expect their success to offer further encouragement to other digital technology companies exploring a significant investment in Northeast Ohio.”
