"Fooji helps brands reach social media fans in the real world. Take HBO. To promote its tech satire Silicon Valley, Fooji delivered – via drone – branded pizzas to 700 people in the Bay Area, Los Angeles and New York who tweeted a unique hashtag and a pizza emoji," Forbes wrote. "Founders Erik Zamudio and Gregg Morton previously worked together on fashion app WeStyle in Lexington, Kentucky, before pivoting to Fooji. Other clients include Amazon, Disney and Lay's."
"Receiving this honor is really a testament to the amazing work that the team has put in here at Fooji," Zamudio told the Cincinnati Enquirer. "It’s a great moment to pause and reflect on all of the effort that people have given over the years, and we’re looking forward to continued growth and success."
Zamudio graduated from UC in 2014 with bachelor's degrees in marketing and psychology, as well as an innovation and entrepreneurship certificate.
