After two years of marketing New Years Eve NYC, Miami, Las Vegas, and other cities, Noo Year Hospitality LLC welcomes new partner Philip Cotty as Chief Technology Officer to head up development of nooExperiences, the company's first brand extension.
Philip Cotty is a seasoned New York web developer who partnered with Mahdad Taheri to develop the company's first New Years event ticket site in 2004. Since then, Philip has designed systems and lead teams in developing internal and external web applications for companies ranging from small businesses to major Fortune 500 corporations.
"Working with Noo is a fun and engaging opportunity," says Cotty. "We are developing the next generation platform for venues, while giving our clients a powerful channel for online sales and promotion. A strong technology base puts us in a position to stay at the leading edge of features and design in this emerging industry."
"Starting off as a seasonal company was the biggest challenge we've faced in launching the noo brand," says Taheri. "We had to make a move to get our name out during the year, while sticking to our brand values and improving our technology foundations. nooExperiences and Philip Cotty allow us to create this better brand awareness and technology platform."
The company is in the process of closing a round of angel funding.
nooExperiences is expected to launch in beta late 2007. To be notified of the launch, sign up for the company's product launch mailing list at noobeginnings.com.
