TESTIMONIALS

I met Rob at a Pitch/networking event in NYC in mid-2022 and he has been very proactive and helpful to Chargerzilla ever since. In addition to making strategic introductions Rob has been great at editing and streamlining our investor pitch. We are glad to have him on our Advisory Board.

Rob has been a tremendous mentor for me and my business. He’s always willing to jump on the phone and help me think through a problem. Rob’s also extremely helpful in connecting me with various experts - patent lawyers, industry leaders, and more.

While at JCIR, Rob provided outstanding public relations services for Digiplex Destinations Corp (NASDAQ: DCIN) as we prepared for our IPO in April 2012 and through our merger with Carmike Cinemas (NASDAQ:CKEC) in August of 2014. His experience, many contacts in the motion picture entertainment industry and his professionalism have provided us with a solid and reliable foundation since our relationship began. Following the Carmike/Digiples merger, Rob continued to provide services to our distribution JV, Diginext Film, LLC and he currently assists our team at Carmike's Alternative Programming and Distribution division as an independent contractor, providing exceptional relationship building on which he has built his career.

Alternative Programming & Distribution Division

I have worked with Rob  since 2011, when Digital Cinema Destinations Corp. (Digiplex) was preparing for its 2012 IPO. Rob expertly guided us through the public and investor relations aspects of the IPO, and also as a publicly traded company. Rob made many introductions to analysts, investors and others who helped get our message out to a wide audience.  He was an active participant at meetings and conferences and helped create press releases and marketing materials that resulted in us acquiring new investors and business partners. Rob was also a key contributor during Digiplex's 2014 sale to Carmike Cinemas, as Carmike was also a client of Rob's and he knew all parties intimately. Following the sale, I have continued to work with Rob on several initiatives and have always found his level of service to be excellent.
