Modern Message and Wag! Form Strategic Multifamily Partnership

DALLAS, April 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Modern Message, the creators of Community Rewards - a resident engagement platform for apartment communities, announced today the organization has formed a strategic alliance with Wag!, the creators of on-demand dog walking.

Business Development VP Garrett Smallwood. "Pet care providers on the Wag! platform are passionate about providing the highest level of service to the animals in their care. Through Modern Message, pet parents will have access to 5-star walking, boarding, sitting, and daycare."

This announcement is in conjunction with Modern Message's latest feature release, Perks. This program allows Multifamily and Student Housing management companies and communities to offer their residents national, regional, and hyper-local, tailored deals or discounts to a variety of merchants and services. From dining, entertainment, fitness, retailers and more. Wag! is the first Modern Message National Perk.
