Bambuser Announces New Go-to-Market Strategy

Report this content

During the past six weeks, Bambuser’s new management team has implemented further cost reductions and presented a new, more focused, go-to-market strategy, which has been approved by the Board of Directors.

Starting after a challenging period with less sales than expected, the new management team headed by interim CEO Maryam Ghahremani has put forward a number of strategic changes for Bambuser. In addition to the staff cuts announced in February 2018, an additional four employees have been given notice in order to reduce costs. The Company’s resources will focus on generating revenue through product development and data-driven marketing.

The Board is backing the decisions to carry out a number of changes to Bambuser’s go-to-market strategy, including the following:

  •  Continuously developing Bambuser’s core product, an easy-to-use platform for live video streaming end-to-end
  •  Increase the investment on digital/partner sales
  •  Re-brand the Company’s products under the brand name Bambuser
  •  Clarify the brand, product offering and pricing with a “re-launch” during Q3 2018
  •  Focus the product offering towards developers / tech communities and media

“In a short time, Maryam has done an excellent job engaging both the management and rest of the staff in developing a strongly improved strategy to move the Company forward. While it is too early to give any financial outlook, we can see that the company's new focus has gained positive response among customers”, says Ingrid Bojner, Chairman of the Board of Bambuser.
