Message from the CEO
We continued to show strong volume and revenue growth in Q4 2020 resulting in a very successful year 2020 driven by growth in all regions. We won many new customers and increased our share of wallet with existing customers. Notably, we saw strong interest for WhatsApp Business messaging and smart digital solutions such as our Mobile Marketing Cloud and Mobile Service Cloud, which we introduced in Q3 and Q4 2020, respectively. These new and innovative mobile-first tools not only help enterprises to optimize their customer engagement, but truly lift customer care to the next level. The pandemic stimulated the demand for these easy to implement one-stop shop solutions.
Additionally, we made good progress with the rollout of our global expansion strategy. In 2020 we opened sales hubs in the USA, Kenya, Turkey, India, and Italy and invested heavily in our organization with new hires boosting both our sales and innovation power. While this puts pressure on EBITDA in the short run, we consider these steps an imperative for our continued high-pace growth and global expansion. The acquisitions of Global Ticket, CX Company and RobinHQ further enriched and strengthened our conversational commerce proposition.
In 2021, we will continue to focus on fast-growth and scaling our business. Despite the mixed short-term effects of the pandemic, this can be seen as an irreversible accelerator of the digital transition and the way companies interact with their customers. With our suite of mobile-first conversational commerce solutions, we are well-positioned to facilitate this transition.
