Emailvision's Impressive 2011 Performance Leads to Global Workforce Growth in 2012

SÃO PAULO, Brazil, April 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Emailvision, the international leader in software as a service (SaaS) for online relationship marketing, today announces plans to significantly increase its global workforce. The company achieved record growth in 2011 driven by international expansion, product innovation and two strategic technology acquisitions.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

In 2011, revenues grew by over 50% to reach $90m. The company accelerated its international presence throughout Brazil, Europe, North America and China. All 19 countries contributed to the strong revenue growth with 25% of new sales coming from outside of Europe.

Emailvision won over 850 new clients in 2011 including: Abril, ClickON, Walmart and Accor Hotels in Brazil; ACP Media and P1.CN in Asia Pacific; Let's Bonus, Toyota, SudOuest in Europe; Office and Republic in the UK; Cisco Live Events and the Washington Post in the US.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Emailvision launched Campaign Commander Enterprise Edition in the last quarter of 2011. This release marked two industry "firsts" - the first SaaS solution for Customer Intelligence, and the first product to fully integrate customer intelligence into an email, mobile and social campaign management platform. The result is a comprehensive SaaS solution designed to increase the relevance and profitability of online customer relationship marketing programs.

INTERNATIONAL GROWTH

In 2012, Emailvision will promote 200 positions globally in all business units including research and development, finance, HR, marketing, sales, services and customer support.

"Our expansion and recruitment plans offer a tremendous opportunity to join one of the fastest growing SaaS companies worldwide," said Nick Heys, Founder and CEO of Emailvision. "In 2011, we added over 800 companies to our client list. Organizations around the world are turning to Emailvision to help them tackle 'Big Data' in the marketing department so they can turn millions of client interactions into more successful marketing campaigns. In 2012, we want to hire more people who are passionate about online marketing, pioneering software and great customer service."

With headquarter offices in central London; Emailvision will be recruiting globally in North America, Brazil, Europe and China. Emailvision employees create a uniquely diverse work environment, representing more than 40 nationalities and speaking over 50 different languages.

"In 19 countries around the world, we have the best talent on the ground to fully support our client's needs," said Marc-Andre Rainon, Chief Human Resources Officer at Emailvision. "There is an opportunity for talented people to join Emailvision who want the best of both worlds; the entrepreneurial spirit that comes from a start-up, and the resources that come from a global market leader."

In the past 12 months, Emailvision received 4,000 applications and conducted 1,100 interviews. 10% of the company's successful new hires were made through social networks.

Guy Porré, Chief Operating Officer of Emailvision, remarked, "Last year we launched a five year internal initiative called 'Emailvision Summits' that will annually send a group of employees to climb one of the world's highest mountains. Each climb will involve a new continent, a new mountain and a new group of trained employees. This corporate initiative inspires the entire Emailvision community to go beyond our limits which is essential for leadership in any field." In 2011, fifteen Emailvision employees successfully reached the top of the Mont Blanc, Europe's highest peak. In 2012, a new team will climb Kilimanjaro in Kenya.
