Leading social depth platform scales business activity in Toronto

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) October 22, 2015

Livefyre, the leader in social curation, continued its global expansion today by announcing new business activity in Canada, including sales office based in Toronto. This strategic extension allows Livefyre to meet the increasing demand for social depth solutions among Canadian customers.

Livefyre’s expansion into Canada is the latest move during a year of rapid and efficient growth for the company. In less than a year, Livefyre welcomed both Adobe and Salesforce as new investors in a recent funding round of $47 million, formed a strategic partnership with Adobe, integrated into the Salesforce Community Cloud, was named a leader in “The Forrester Wave™: Social Depth Platforms, Q2 2015”, and became a Twitter Official Partner.

Steve Frappier, formerly of Oracle, has been appointed as Livefyre’s executive account director based in Canada. Livefyre already has a large international footprint, delivering top-notch customer engagement, social depth, and content solutions across the United States, United Kingdom and Australia.

"Livefyre is having significant success as the demand for social depth solutions continues to be increasingly critical for a successful digital marketing strategy. A Canadian presence is a critical part of accelerating this growth long-term,” said Frappier. “The reception we’ve already had among Canadian brands and publishers has been amazing. We are filling a clear market need.”

With over 1,500 customers including top brands and publishers, Livefyre’s strategic expansion into Canada will bring leading social depth solutions to a new market — increasing social experiences and engagement on Canadian based companies owned and operates properties.
