- (1888PressRelease) December 15, 2010 - Dartmouth, Nova Scotia - SimplyCast.com, a homegrown multi-channel marketing software provider and international exporter, is adding new employees.
The province is supporting SimplyCast's growth with a five year payroll rebate to a maximum of $1,008,000 through Nova Scotia Business Inc. (NSBI), the province's business development agency.
Under this agreement, the company's plan could see it create up to as many as 100 new jobs in sales, software development, system administration, marketing and client support over the next five years.
"SimplyCast is a great example of a company creating good jobs for young Nova Scotians, innovating and competing successfully in international markets," said Economic Development Minister Percy Paris. "This company embodies the three pillars of our economic plan, jobsHere, and I applaud their future growth plans in our province."
The Dartmouth based company offers a software-as-a-service platform that combines online, offline, mobile and social media tools with platforms like Twitter. This service is often referred to as multi channel campaign management (MCCM).
According to the world's leading information technology research and advisory company Gartner Inc., more companies are using an MCCM approach to campaigns because it is interactive, measurable and reaches a broader audience.
