A PORTSTEWART software company has just secured £1 million US investment creating 15 new jobs in the process.

Zymplify Portstewart, a marketing automation software firm, founded in 2013, has just secured the backing of private investors John Campbell and Steve Lesser from Boston, in a deal which will help support its continued growth.

The pair have identified the potential of Zymplify and made the investment based on their extensive knowledge and experience in the industry.

Both Steve and John were the original investors in ‘Constant Contact’, a Boston based email marketing company which was recently purchased for $1.1billion. They believe that the marketing automation space has proved to be very fast growing world-wide.

“We are very excited about the combination of the feature rich platform, combined with the high quality of the skillset of the workforce in Northern Ireland,"Steve added.

The 15 additional jobs being created are being supported by £97,500 of funding from Invest NI
