PicPocket adds to Executive team; appoints Damian McCabe as Chief Revenue Officer

AUSTIN, Texas - Aug. 14, 2015 - PRLog -- PicPocket, a live events, photo-sharing app and geofencing platform which enables the real-time capture, curation, mining and visualization of location-based content, announces the appointment of Damian McCabe to the position of Chief Revenue Officer.

Damian McCabe is a senior telecoms executive specializing in Mobility, Global Sales Management, Social-Local-Global media and Go-to-Market Strategies. Known for generating highly creative and profitable business models and partnerships that drive sustainable long-term growth, his experience in developing new markets, channels and sales programs will go a long way in establishing PicPocket in Consumer, Enterprise and Government verticals.

“We are excited to have Damian on board full-time to identify and drive revenue opportunities” stated Wolfram Gauglitz, President and CEO of PicPocket, Inc. “His extensive mobility and business management experience, plus his relationships with a number of global Mobile Network Operators will help introduce PicPocket to new markets and ensure user growth worldwide.”

“Social media – how we consume and share data – continues to evolve.” said McCabe. “It used to be that everyone stayed plugged in by knowing what their friends and followers were up to. But there’s been a shift – and the team at PicPocket saw this coming long before it went mainstream.”

“By following events and making new friends and associations based on those shared experiences, social media finally delivers on connecting us based on our mutual interests” said McCabe. He adds “and doing it right is an advertiser’s dream. From event sponsorship to merchandising, from fan appreciation to artist/brand management – being able to limit the content that’s associated with an event to only photos and video taken by people who were there, not only keeps it relevant but makes it real. Context plus relevance is the next big thing – and you can’t get there with a #hashtag.”
