Happy Holidays from CI HUB! Our 2024 in Review

From everyone at CI HUB, we want to wish you and your loved ones a Happy Christmas and holiday season!

It’s the end of another hectic year, where we’ve grown by leaps and bounds. So, to close things out, we’re doing a brief review of 2024, and everything we achieved together.

 

A Growing ‘Hub’ of Creativity!

To say that it has been a huge year for CI HUB would be an understatement...

The first big change has been our headcount. We now proudly number 42 colleagues around the world. What’s more, we are more international than ever, with 14 nationalities and team members working each day from as far away as Thailand, Tunisia and Australia!

Investing in our Future

One of the big stories for us earlier in the year was our major seven-figure funding round led by Scale Capital. As we noted in our press release at the time, this investment “validates the strength of our vision and technology and provides us with the resources and expertise to drive innovation and deliver even greater value to our customers.” 

This infusion of capital marked a pivotal moment in our journey, enabling us to both expand and to double down on the development of our groundbreaking Connector Family.

 

New Integrations, Applications & CI HUB Drive

Our development team pulled off some miracles this year, helping us to pull away from our competition and deliver by far the strongest Connector on the market. We now boast over 70 integrations for different DAMs, cloud storage, work management tools, stock providers and much more.

In July, we also released CI HUB Drive – a first-of-its-kind application which lets users access assets stored in digital asset management (DAM) systems directly from their desktop!

CI HUB Drive has seen huge interest from new and existing customers around the world, who understand its potential to expand DAM adoption throughout their businesses by bringing their assets right to the Windows Explorer or Mac Finder.

 

Focusing on the ABC – Always Be Closing!

Another major focus of our year was ramping up our sales capabilities. We announced key new resellers and the promotion of Gold Partners who will help us to scale up with our high ambitions.

We also undertook a revamp of our Sales Club, and the launch of new Office Hours so that our valued partners can find everything they need to show off the very best of CI HUB to our growing list of prospects and clients!

 

Going Global

Our globe-trotting team has been spreading the word of CI HUB to every corner of the globe this year. From London to New York, Sydney and further afield, we attended 10 in-person events, as well as 6 webinars to thousands of attendees.

But without doubt, our favorite international event this year was our incredible team 'workation’ – WOOO Greece 2024, held over 9 days in Ios.

 

Check out our recap from the road this year!

 

 

Closing out the year on a high note

As the year is drawing to a close, we got an early Christmas present at the start of December – we secured #6 Place in the Main Software 50 Germany List 2024! This was our 3rd consecutive year to make the list, and our best result ever – validating all the effort we have put in this year.

Looking forward – we have so much already on the horizon for 2025. Game-changing new products and features, ever more integrations, a full event calendar... we can’t wait to get started again. But for now – THANK YOU to our amazing customers, partners, friends and colleagues who have made 2024 our best year yet. See you in 2025!
