Sharehoods.com Rebrands as Migreat.com as it Announces Expansion Plans

LONDON, November 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

The new name, Migreat, aligns the company and brand with its focus on immigration 

Sharehoods.com, the web-platform supporting migrants' integration and settlement in Europe, will now go by the name Migreat in the aim to solidify the company's brand and success with Migreat.com.

The move comes as the company prepares to launch into new European and North American markets from its base in London. "Immigration has become a fact of life and accessible to more and more people. The shift from Sharehoods.com to Migreat.com allows us to align the mission and vision of our company: to assist migrants' move abroad to expand life opportunities and support a world where migration is accepted." says Daniel Lizio-Katzen, CEO of Migreat.

The website will continue to assist migrants by providing access to free immigration advice in seven languages, as well as a raft of online and offline services to support integration in the new country through every stage of the migration journey.

"As demand has grown for the tools we offer, we realised it was time to streamline our brand to eliminate the difference between our company name - Sharehoods - and our principal product, Migreat.com," said Lizio-Katzen. "Our new brand, combined with the launch of Migreat Local Communities, better reflects the strategic direction of the company as we prepare to launch into new markets and expand our product offerings," he said.

Migreat helps hundreds of thousands of people each month and strives to be the first place where immigrants build their social relationships and networks, before and after their move.

How it works 

Migreat segments migration into three phases and offers tools and support for each.

1. Migrants begin their journey using a comprehensive immigration wizard that simplifies the visa information gathering and application process.
2. On arrival, Migreat's 'How To' guides link migrants to supportive community members, while native language tools help them get settled into their new home.
3. Finally, ongoing news and events enable them to grow their community long after they've arrived.

Migreat.com is a trusted community resource for foreign nationals to discover, access and share contacts, places and social tips about their new neighborhood. Migreat's mission is to move immigration forward.
