TESTIMONIALS

While at JCIR, Rob Rinderman 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 Cinesmas (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/Digiplex 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.

A. Dale Mayo, President,
Alternative Programming &
Distribution Division

I have worked with Rob Rinderman 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.
