Origin of Trum·pia's Name
A trumpet is a musical instrument that has traditionally been used to celebrate or announce victories. Trum·pia is a variation of trumpets. The modern-day equivalent of a trumpet is sending text and email messages to subscribers.
Who We Are
Trum·pia was founded in 2006 in a small apartment, and has grown into a dynamic company with over 80 passionate employees. We are headquartered in sunny Southern California. We work tirelessly to offer the world's leading automated engagement platform using text messages, email, and other communication channels.
Our latest automated workflow builder is called Trum·pia Workbench and it's designed to help our customers boost revenue, customer engagement, and employee satisfaction. Workbench's ability to create customized workflows without a programmer delivers customized communication solutions in hours and days instead of weeks or months. We developed Workbench because even the most sophisticated end-user tools and basic workflow builders have limitations that we strive to eliminate.

Our Culture and Team
The three pillars of our company are CAP (Community, Attitude, and Professionalism). We wear these CAPs everyday to build a culture that promotes growth and development/opportunity /fulfillment for our customers and employees.

Community
We care about building each other up and excelling together. We seek collaboration with others, not just within our respective department, but with other teams and departments as well. We embrace both the differences that make us unique and the shared passion that brings us together. Simply put, Trum·pia's community and mindset are the strongest links in the chain that makes us the pioneer of SMS automation.

Attitude
We believe that positivity is vital in order to realize the full power of our team's potential both inside and outside of the office. "Can't" and "won't" are words we strive to erase from our vocabulary, replacing them with a "can-do" attitude. We also strive to spread this positivity with our customers and partners in order to build better relationships and help everyone succeed together.

Professionalism
We fully believe in the importance of expecting the best from ourselves and others. This doesn't mean being afraid to make mistakes, but rather consistently learning from them to grow as professionals. Our management philosophy emphasizes focusing on how our team can grow to meet new challenges, and our members are constantly growing into roles that give them increased professional development and responsibility.
