Notable Quotes

• "Direct sales and creative production, including Omnia, Luminosity, and related assets, have been important parts of our history, but they are not part of our future. Exiting these areas allows us to direct all of our energy, talent, and reinvestment toward building and improving our owned and operated platforms." — Alex Macdonald, CEO
