Now it's Hammertime!

I am delighted that today we are announcing the completion of our latest investment round of €1.25million. We are thrilled that The North West Fund from the UK has joined forces with our existing investor Veraventure together with further support from Tekes NIY to back our business plan. We have secured the growth capital we need to push forward with our repeatable solutions offering by strengthening our team, expanding our operations and developing our core platform.

We start by creating a new sales and production centre in Liverpool in the UK. From there we will run our CloudStore operation and help our global PR clients deliver digital services more efficiently and effectively than ever before. Indeed, our ambition is to help define the industry of repeatable digital solutions and now we have the gas in the tank to allow us to do it.

Our Board has been strengthened with the arrival of Brenden Holt as incoming Chairman. Brenden brings with him a wealth of knowledge around building successful technology-based companies and he and the Board will play a vital part in ensuring our success.

I look forward to working in partnership with our clients and all of the PR community to drive forward lean digital production. The PR industry has a fabulous opportunity to grab the high ground in the battle to deliver high quality digital services. We want to help the industry implement production processes that drive down costs, drive up quality and ensure that more time is spent on the developing the clients message to the market. We believe that repeatability is the key to this, and I hope to be able to share that vision and our solutions with you in person over the coming weeks and months.

I want to thank our clients; in particular Hill+Knowlton and Edelman for their support in helping our business concept go from idea to reality. I also want to thank my team who, to a person, has worked their socks off to make Hammerkit a success. I think they deserve a heap of recognition for that. So thank you all!

Now it’s Hammertime!
