Undertone’s Rapid Expansion Solidifies its Vision for Digital
Marketing Industry Disruption
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 2, 2018--
Today, Undertone,
a division of Perion Network Ltd. (NASDAQ: PERI) and a leader in
synchronized cross-platform digital branding for the world’s most
prominent brands, is proud to announce it is moving its US office
headquarters to the 77th floor of One World Trade Center.
Joining the ranks of Conde Nast, Servcorp, GroundTruth and Infosys
Technologies, Undertone is expected to move from its current office on
Madison Avenue in Midtown, into the new space in Manhattan’s most iconic
location in January 2019.
The office, designed by the pioneering Amy Howell of Forge, will capture
Undertone’s spirit of innovation, collaboration and inclusion through
its inspired integration of space-planning, furnishings and
public/private workspaces.
Forge has also designed spaces for SY Partners, Little Big Brands, CHOPT
Creative Salad Company, Crew Cuts, Stack Exchange and other
game-changing companies. The new office will allow Undertone to scale
with its growing marketplace traction by expanding its employee count
significantly. This growth is driven by Undertone’s ongoing innovation
behind its synchronized digital advertising platform, which provides the
world’s most brand-conscious brands with the ability to deliver
personalized, cross-platform advertising with daypart-sensitive timing.
Undertone views the opportunity to move into One World Trade as an
important step in further establishing itself as a unique and invaluable
member of the digital media community.
“We are thrilled to be moving our headquarters into One World Trade –
it’s an important step in expanding our ever-growing influence in
today’s digital world and a reflection of our commitment to our clients
and our incredible team,” said Michael Pallad, President of Undertone.
One World Trade Center sets new standards of design, construction,
sustainability and beauty and heralds the revitalization of Lower
Manhattan. Managed, operated and leased by The
Durst Organization, One World Trade Center is a center of innovation
and creativity, and the most recognized office address in the world.
“We are pleased to welcome Undertone to One World Trade Center,” said
Jonathan (Jody) Durst, President of The Durst Organization. “One WTC has
become a center for growing companies that need flexibility, want
community and require a building with amenities and services that can
attract and retain talent and customers. We are proud of the culture and
of innovation we have established at One WTC and are excited about our
partnership with Undertone.”
