Dennis Becker, Mobivity Chairman and CEO, commented, “Mobivity delivered a record year of 32% revenue growth and significant bottom-line improvement amidst the global pandemic. Covid restrictions hit the restaurant industry particularly hard. Our success amidst these unprecedented challenges demonstrates the value our products that digitize marketing campaigns, and reach and engage consumers one-to-one, bring to our customers. Indeed, our customers have emerged from this pandemic stronger, while others have struggled as traditional marketing became ineffective in the COVID world.”

“In the fourth quarter we added a second major vertical, convenience stores, and launched successfully with a key account,” added Mr. Becker. “This relationship has more than doubled since launching in December, demonstrating that our addressable market for our Recurrency platform has increased by an exciting amount. We completed a $3.3 million financing in December and ended the year with a strong balance sheet that can sustainably and rapidly fund expansion. In 2021 we brought on a world class revenue leader in Al West to drive and expand our sales and marketing operations in response to the rapidly growing market opportunity. The pandemic highlighted inefficiencies in traditional marketing campaigns and made the transition to digital mandatory, no longer optional. We are in the ideal position to capitalize, with proven customer relationships, a validated solution, and a strong balance sheet. The future of Mobivity is bright and I am so grateful to our team for continued growth and innovation despite a historic global crisis.”
