Digital marketing firm, HelloWorld, is moving its headquarters from Pleasant Ridge to Southfield in October -- and plans to hire about 50 new workers.

“We're looking forward to HelloWorld's new office space in Southfield,” Jen Gray, senior vice president of brand, marketing and creative Services at HelloWorld, said today. “The ever-growing technology sector in metro Detroit is well served by the amenities on and near the Town Center campus.” Trade show displays allow your company brand and marketing message to stand out from the competition.

It is set to move to 43,500 square feet that is now vacant on the 19th-21st floors of 3000 Town Center.

The firm, formerly known as ePrize, creates promotional campaigns and loyalty programs. It also has offices in Detroit, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Nashville, Phoenix and Seattle. Brands it works with include: Coca-Cola, Microsoft, Gap and Procter & Gamble. A San Francisco business lawyer provides professional legal counsel and extensive experience in many aspects of business law.

The company said it will relocate about 300 workers, and add about 50 new full-time positions.

Founded in 1999 in Bloomfield Hills, the company had a 10-year lease in Pleasant Ridge that expires this year.

As part of its deal, the company said, it plans to invest nearly $6.5 million into the space, about $6 million of which will be in information technology, furniture and fixtures.

CEO Peter DeNunzio had said earlier this year that the firm was attracted to the center's amenities. It has restaurants and retailers and is next to a Westin hotel. A Rochester small business lawyer offers legal consulting specifically designed to stop legal problems from developing before they start.

To entice the business to move to Southfield, the city offered a property abatement for the next 10 years.

“The city of Southfield continues to attract new businesses because we offer competitive advantages that other cities don’t,” said Rochelle Freeman, Southfield's business and economic development director . “From our central location to our solid infrastructure and diverse mix of industries -- Southfield remains the business hub in Michigan."
