COFOUNDER, FOOJIFooji helps brands reach social media
fans in the real world. Take HBO. To pro-
mote its tech satire Silicon Valley, Fooji de-
livered—via drone—branded pizzas to 700
people in the Bay Area, L.A. and New York
who tweeted a unique hashtag and a pizza
emoji. For Mini Cooper, Fooji supplied ve-
hicles in 30 minutes direct to fans in a
tweet-to-test-drive campaign. Cofounders
Erik Zamudio and Gregg Morton worked
together on fashion app WeStyle in Lex-
ington, Kentucky, before pivoting to Fooji.
Other clients include Amazon, Disney
and Lay’s. “We fi rst did it as a little bit of a
joke,” says Zamudio. “Then brands start-
ed noticing us as this unique way to engage
with fans.” —Jenny Rooney, Marty Swant,
