When it comes to the wireless industry, CTIA is one of the biggest shows. And a local Portland company was just recognized as one of the most promising new technologies.
Urban Airship has been named the “Best Emerging Mobile Marketing & Advertising Solution” at CTIA.
Online judging for the 15 awards categories was conducted by a panel of media and industry analysts. Nearly 250 entries were judged based on innovation, functionality, technological importance, implementation and overall “wow” factor.

@Robin, “their days of being a PDX company are starting to cease”? Clearly you haven’t been in their Portland office lately. They’ve taken over the entire building, and house over 60+ people there. It’s bristling with energy and the vast majority of their executive team works from there.
Sure, they have an office in SF, and of course they hire in SF, but having two offices does not end your relationship or roots in Portland. If you want to talk shit about Portland companies, you should look elsewhere, or keep your mouth shut, because I know of few other companies doing more for Portland than they are.
Well, they now have a SF office where their CRO is based and are doing most of their hiring out of that office. I would say their days of being a Portland company are starting to cease.
Great news and well deserved!
Congrats to UA! …..and that press release sounds just like Scott. I’m pretty sure that Scott says burgeoning all the time.
