This takes the social media monitoring and competitive intelligence company’s tally of offices to six – on four continents – and, according to Digimind, is the first phase of a three year international expansion plan.

The announcement comes soon after the global launch of Digimind Social, a social listening tool released in October 2013.

Patrice Francois, co-founder of Digimind (pictured), said: “2013 was a banner year for Digimind, where we saw increased demand for our competitive intelligence product and an amazing response to our newest offering, Digimind Social.

“We already have strong footholds in the UK and Singapore, which are vibrant digital markets, so they were the natural choice for the first phase of our global expansion strategy. We look forward to deepening relationships with existing customers in those countries as well as forging new ones.”
