Twitter Opens Downtown Detroit Office in Rock Ventures' M@dison Building



 DETROIT, MI,  April 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- There's a new trending topic in #Detroit, as tech giant Twitter announced today it is opening an office in the city's growing downtown technology district.

 The company's first Michigan location will be based in the M@dison Building (lower left photo), owned by Rock Ventures LLC, the umbrella entity formed to provide operational coordination, guidance and integration of Dan Gilbert's portfolio of companies, investments and real estate.

Based in San Francisco, Twitter is a real-time information network that connects people to the latest stories, ideas, opinions and news. 

The company's Detroit office will house a team of employees whose primary focus will be helping marketers and advertising agencies in Detroit leverage Twitter's Promoted Products suite of advertising products. Twitter expects to hire more employees over time as it grows its Detroit presence.

"Detroit's emerging mix of automotive and digital cultures made it a natural location for Twitter's newest office," said Adam Bain (top right photo), Twitter's president of global revenue.

"We're excited to work face-to-face with the city's most established brands and happy to play a role in downtown Detroit's digital renaissance."

The company did not disclose lease terms.
