TECH & INNOVATION – Nova Messenger: a positive disruptor reframing communication

GUEST – Nicholas Riemer Co-founder and CEO - Nova Messenger

Nova Messenger delivers messages fast, effectively, and privately, ensuring all your university, school and work announcements reach you instantly. It was made clear during the peak of the Covid pandemic, that educational institutions that could not adapt and respond to the unpredictable nature of change, would fail to deliver their core purpose, which is to ensure continuous learning.

Even those who were quickly able to switch to online learning, had no guarantee that traditional communications platforms built for social engagement, would effectively reach their entire learning community. Neither were those platforms appropriate frameworks in a disruptive climate, where the loss of privacy can comprise users.

This was the inspiration behind the development of Nova Messenger, a communications App that delivers messages fast, effectively, and more importantly, privately. Nicholas Riemer Co-founder and CEO explains that in a more contingent world, there is a crucial need to have a dedicated means by which to communicate with communities instantly, ensuring that every individual has received and read a crucial message, and if so wishes, can respond.
