Issuu Continues International Expansion: New Portugal Office Marks Milestone in Global Growth

Leading digital content publishing & marketing platform continues on its upward growth trajectory with expansion of its Braga office

BRAGA, PT, September 6, 2023 – Issuu, the largest SaaS content publishing and marketing platform in the world, today announced it is increasing its international presence by opening another office in Portugal. Located in Braga, this new office will house more than 60 employees and create dozens of new jobs for the local tech community. 

Issuu will be hosting its office grand opening on September 6, 2023, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm GMT+1. The Issuu office is located at Edificio da Estação Ferroviária, Braga, Portugal. Issuu CEO Joe Hyrkin and Braga Mayor Ricardo Rio will be in attendance.

Issuu’s new office comes on the heels of its updated platform offerings: Issuu for Teams – which stems from the demand in verticals such as education, publishing, marketing, retail, non-profit, and real estate – unlocks easy access, management, and control over digital content for growing organizations, so business users can create, own, and share their content in a seamless workflow as part of a team. This offering, as well as the new Issuu app on Canva, is an example of the significant contributions made by the engineering team in Issuu’s Braga office.

“We've seen substantial growth in Braga’s local tech ecosystem since our first global expansion to Portugal in 2021,” said Joe Hyrkin, Chief Executive Officer at Issuu. “We’ve hired talented and highly motivated employees across a range of roles and look forward to continuing to grow the team. Our success in Braga is a testament to Mayor Rio’s efforts and also reiterates our mission to constantly be pushing the boundaries of innovation in each market we’re located as we help steer the future of the creator economy forward.”

Working with top brands like Etsy, Hyatt Hotels & Resorts, and National Geographic, Issuu is the leading SaaS content publishing and marketing platform that helps people grow their businesses and inspire their audience by transforming static designs into high-performance content for every digital marketing channel. 

“The consolidation of Braga as a City of the Future, innovative, young, cosmopolitan and with a great quality of life, is based first and foremost on creating opportunities to attract and retain talent in our territory,” said Ricardo Rio, Mayor of Braga. “To this end, it is essential that international companies that are aligned with our values and with this development model look to Braga and see it as fertile ground for the growth of their projects and for the recruitment of high-potential human resources.”

“The link between Braga and Issuu, formalized today, is the faithful portrait of this happy marriage, between those who welcome and those who invest, for the primary benefit of all those who will be linked to this project and, through it, will be able to realize their personal and professional ambitions. Issuu is not just another company that has chosen Braga to grow among different international alternatives. It is a world-class, creative, and innovative company that will continue to make a difference to so many. Now, from Braga to the world.”
