Sojern Celebrates New Space with Chamber Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony

On September 25, the Greater Omaha Chamber hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of Sojern’s (www.sojern.com) new space off of 181st and Burke. Sojern is the leading provider of digital advertising solutions and real-time audiences for the travel industry.

The new Sojern work space, designed by Alley Poyner Macchietto Architecture, will combine two previously separate offices into one and expand its physical footprint to 40,000 square feet in the West Dodge corridor of Omaha.

In addition to the 4,000 square-foot breakroom and 53 conference rooms, there are 190 workstations to house the existing Omaha workforce with room to grow to 325 employees, nearly a 70% increase, from the existing headcount. Keeping with the latest trends in workspace design, there will also be three mothers’ rooms, two ping pong tables, a shuffleboard table and a gym in the building.

“Omaha was the birthplace for our business 11 years ago, and we’re very proud of our roots. We continue to invest in recruiting talent from Omaha because we’ve had great success here,” said Brent Brummer, vice president of business strategy and operations, who has been at Sojern since its inception.

Back in 2007, serial Omaha entrepreneur Gordon Whitten founded Sojern with the idea of placing targeted destination advertising on print-at-home airline boarding passes. Whitten quickly patented the concept and built a successful business, but the company really took off when major travel clients began asking for ways to help expand their campaigns into digital.
