Atlanta-Based Social Platform Gains Momentum Across Five Countries, Approaches 5,000 Downloads and Expands Its Creator-First Movement<\/div>\n

ATLANTA, GA – August 21, 2026 –<\/strong> Zipplign, Inc., an Atlanta-based social media platform built around creators, connection, and trending content, is making significant strides as it continues to grow its community of Zippers across five countries.<\/p>\n

With thousands of downloads and an expanding international user base, Zipplign is positioning itself as more than another social media platform. Its mission is centered on “Owning Your Media”—creating a platform where creators can share, connect, and build their audience while maintaining ownership of the content they create.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Zipplign achieved a significant milestone by ranking #10 among the most downloaded apps in Bulgaria, demonstrating the platform’s ability to attract users beyond the United States.<\/p>\n

Zipplign Takes Its Message to Invest Fest<\/p>\n

Zipplign recently expanded its presence in the Atlanta business and technology ecosystem by vending at Invest Fest at the Georgia World Congress Center, one of the region’s major entrepreneurship and investment gatherings.<\/p>\n

During the event, Chief Businessaire Ja’von L. Watson, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Zipplign, had the opportunity to meet Invest Fest Co-Founder & CEO Troy Millings, further connecting Zipplign with entrepreneurs, investors, creators, and business leaders from across the country.<\/p>\n

For Zipplign, the appearance represented more than an event—it was an opportunity to introduce the platform and its creator-first philosophy directly to the business community.<\/p>\n

Atlanta: A Growing Technology Hub<\/strong><\/p>\n

Atlanta has increasingly established itself as a major technology and innovation center, earning its reputation as the “Silicon Valley of the South.”<\/p>\n

As Atlanta prepares for a major week of technology-focused activity, including ATL Tech Week and Render ATL, Zipplign is continuing to put its name in the middle of the city’s growing technology ecosystem.<\/p>\n

On August 14, 2026, Zipplign will be vending on the Georgia Tech campus, bringing its platform, creators, and vision directly into one of Atlanta’s most recognizable technology and educational environments.<\/p>\n

Creators First. Ownership Matters.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Led by husband-and-wife Co-CEOs Chief Businessaire Ja’von L. Watson and Joyleena S. Roberts-Watson, Zipplign was developed with creators and users in mind.<\/p>\n

The company’s philosophy is simple:<\/p>\n

Creators should own their media.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Zipplign’s platform is designed to provide creators with an environment where they can upload, share, connect, and grow their content while retaining ownership of their work, consistent with the platform’s privacy policy.<\/p>\n

“Social media has become a major part of how people communicate, build businesses, express themselves, and create opportunities,” says Chief Businessaire Ja’von L. Watson. “We believe creators should have a platform designed around them. Zipplign is about giving people a place to create, connect, trend, and ultimately own their media.”<\/p>\n

What Does “Zipp” Mean?<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the heart of Zipplign is its own language and culture.<\/p>\n

The word “Zipp” represents the idea of trending with, connecting, and linking with trending content.<\/p>\n

When a Zipper creates a post that begins gaining attention, other Zippers can “Zipp” that content—sharing and connecting with the Zippclip to help generate additional visibility and engagement.<\/p>\n

The result is a social ecosystem designed around connection and discovery, rather than simply scrolling past content.<\/p>\n

Zipplign Community Continues to Grow<\/strong><\/p>\n

After spending several months in beta, Zipplign is approaching another major milestone: 5,000 downloads.<\/p>\n

The platform’s community has already generated:<\/p>\n
