If you were a small cap Augmented Reality company from Vancouver that needed to appoint an old media / new media powerhouse to head up your European sales operations, we really don't think you could have found someone better credentialed than Michael Anderson - and that's exactly what ImagineAR (IP:CSE) (IPNFF:OTCQB) did. Anderson is a highly regarded leader in the world of digital with his roots firmly based in UK media. Part entrepreneur, part corporate animal, he quickly rose through the ranks ending up as Managing Director of News UK. He worked for Rupert Murdoch and Les Hinton during his rise to the top and made the Board room of both News UK and Associated Newspapers (publishers of the Daily Mail). Sensing the changing winds of the media business, Anderson was a driving force on the launch team of Metro, which overtook The Sun in 2018 as the largest circulation of any newspaper in the UK. At Metro, he was instrumental in the paper being cited as a new business case with commercial results not seen previously in the newspaper industry, growing revenue from £100k a week to £1m per week in just 12 months. Additionally, Mike was the founder of the Chelsea APPS Factory which included UK clients KPMG, Ladbrokes, Standard Life, TfL, Vanquis and Waitrose. ..... And now he is sensing another change in the winds to put his considerable talents and team behind the Augmented Reality solutions of ImagineAR. If you don't know what Augmented Reality (AR) is, this quote from Apple CEO Tim Cook is all the motivation you need to get up to speed: “AR Will play an important role in how we use technology in the future – and promises to be as influential in our society as the smart phone” Anderson wholeheartedly agrees, stating "ImagineAR is the most advanced AR platform in the market today and I am excited to launch the company's sales and marketing initiatives in the UK and Europe." That quote is just the tip of the iceberg. Watch what Anderson has to say about the "unlimited possibilities of Augmented Reality" and some pretty good hints about whose doors he will be knocking on first .... which is pretty impressive given the fact August is vacation season in Europe :-) If our interview with CEO Alen Paul Silverrstieen and Michael Anderson is any indication, it sounds like the Company's growth into the UK and Europe is all but assured in 2020 and well beyond.
