Globally, the company has around 9 million subscribers using their messenger services solution.
From WhatsBroadcast to MessengerPeople
The young company’s growth trajectory continues: „Messenger Marketing is really gaining momentum now, “ says Matthias Mehner, Vice President Strategy & Innovation. „This is in part because WhatsApp, one of the most-used messenger services globally, has just opened their platform up to businesses.“
In the context of this messenger boom, WhatsBroadcast is rebranding as „MessengerPeople.” „The new name is a better match for our current profile and our expanded product portfolio,“ says Matthias Mehner about the rename. „For some time now, we have been broadening our focus: we aren’t only Whats(App) and we’re much more than only ,Broadcast’”
Connection to the biggest global messaging services
„With ‚Messenger‘ as a part of our name, we emphasize our comprehensive messenger approach: our SaaS solution is now connected to the biggest global messaging services. One of our main priorities is integrating more channels into our service portfolio,“ says MessengerPeople Managing Director Franz Buchenberger. In addition to the classic messenger newsletter, the Munich company has also developed innovative solutions for customer service and chatbots during the last year.
Buchenberger: „‘People‘ as part of our name stands for our dynamic, international, and engaged team. Each new technology needs trailblazers that understand companies’ demands as well as customers‘ needs.“
New Branding Higlights Unified-Messenger-Expertise
