DC was willing to be acquired for the opportunity to be part of a US public company. This provides far more potential growth and increase in value then remaining a private company in the UK!
I am looking forward to their expansion into the US.
I would have no idea which clients you allegedly spoke to and quite frankly without names and or links the information is poor. To get info on associates at DC you must have spoken to someone inside the company or someone no longer in the company. If the later I would discredit any info given because more often then not they have an agenda. However you had asked some questions. Here are your answers
I received a response to your question regarding Audi, Mercedes Benz, and Land Rover accounts with Digital Clarity.
Mercedes-Benz and Land Rover are HQ accounts. Audi is a dealer network in London.
Digital Clarity received this Quote 2 months ago:
“We have worked with Digital Clarity for over 4 years using a variety of the company’s services and solutions. In a niche yet competitive space, Digital Clarity’s understanding of our market along with a results driven service has made the relationship both positive and enjoyable. I have no hesitation in recommending Digital Clarity and their excellent service.”
Matthew Wrigley - Group Marketing Manager, Mercedes-Benz Retail Group UK Ltd
This last PR was a solid new business win.
RTG Ventures Solutions Division Sees Revenue Growth

As far as expansion into the USA the market is prime for Digital Clarity to expand and grow revenues. Of course that is talk until execution begins to take place which I believe is exactly what we will see. From what I understand some of his current client base has a US base. Massive market here not that hard to get business. I have more concern about handling it all. Managing the growth properly. They are the kinds of things I want to discuss with Reggie when he arrives in the US. By the way I could go out tomorrow and pick up business in this field. Its there for the taking
trades like it has more than 133m but I still think it classifies as low floater considering its share price
This catches fire it can run a long long way from this level
Good to see you back on it
This is looking like it wants to run
IF one wants to call people criminals and crooks in a public forum they should also be prepared to defend against slander suits. In my personal opinion of course.
If I just look at the stock I would say things look bad. I look at the changes taking place. The strong potential growth of Digital Clarity in many areas. A leaner company. A company that is well connected to Aderra whom has a client base consisting of top billboard artists. Those same artists that can become our clients. A leader like Reggie whom for the first time will do things the Digital Clarity way. I sum it all up and I never felt better about the business and its future.
Go figure.
I agree and expect Reggie will as he has developments. We need to restore trust and confidence in this company. Some are not giving him a chance here.
No doubt panic has a good deal to do with it. I felt it as well but not giving into it.
The current market cap is a farce. Someone selling that wants to hurt us? I don't know but I believe Digital Clarity is worth considerable more than the current market cap and they are positioned for growth. I still have a large position I bought on the open market. I am down like everyone and made no profits from trading this stock. I plan on continuing to look to the future keep working and expect to make money off my shares at some point
Thanks for the posts. Its evident every business with a website needs updating to been seen properly on tablets and phones. They also need a social media presence. Digital Clarity is well positioned to capitalize as they expand into the US
I think it would be naive to think a start up mode company will not use their equity in various ways to run their company. I can't think of a penny that never raised their OS. On that topic RTGV had no OS raise in one entire Q. Plus only 8m shares in two Q's. I think most will agree RTGV has shown strong responsibility in how they handle their equity. While the current company is only 1 year old , years of filings still show a strong responsible management of equity imo. Please refer to filings
If you want to claim dilution every time a penny stock raises their OS or AS you will be able to do it to just about every single one. At this time with RTGV th key is to raise revenues and profits. They start doing that they will be fine. By the looks of things they have strong potential to do just that.
I think these are good questions for several obvious reasons. Shareholders are going to look at what has DC specifically said in the past and what has been done. I will discuss these items with Reggie next week. At that time I may be able to answer you better or perhaps its best to release info in blogs that will answer these questions specifically. Let me give you my opinions for now. DC must begin to expand and commercialize CC in the short term. There is huge opportunity to increase revenues and profits in the market for DC especially with CC in house and a US expansion. There is a strong opportunity to bring billboard artists in as clients working with Aderra. We will be seeing some efforts of the past put aside to focus and execute on the things that bring money and growth in short order. If either of these two things are affected I have no idea at this point. I am sure they will be addressed as will a cohesive plan laid out that is more easily understood by all.
At the same time I challenge Linda to cut costs in any way possible watch the small transactions as much as the larger ones. Focus on a plan to become profitable or even break even over the next few Q's. It is difficult to become profitable before that time because the company will be/better be in an aggressive expansion mode.
I don't think threeflight was suggesting its one person doing it. If I am correct that is illegal. Or perhaps if you use that tactic to increase share price its illegal.
Key statement here by Reggie and it will be defining
"This exciting development will be kicked off by a forthcoming visit to NYC and then followed to pursue interest that has also been expressed by a number of parties in LA and San Francisco."
The reason I say defining is because we have had many very exciting positive PR's and great blogs over the past year. With only one issue. Most never came to fruition or produced tangible results. This is Reggies first big statement. Executing it will set the tone for the company and certainly the markets initial perception of Reggie and Digital Clarity.
I am quite confident he will execute what he writes. Some of that confidence is a leap of faith but based on DD and experience. A good deal of that confidence has been established by knowing Reggie for many months now and seeing his work and understanding the space DC is in. Once it's established that DC delivers on what it announces/blogs real change can begin to take place. Forward looking thinking is then taken serious
Great to have you feeling good about the direction of the company. Your enthusiasm builds everyone's confidence level. You make a great point about the position of CEO. No sense in rushing into a salary. I like the company lean. I want them to think expansion and profitability. I will expect it. This is about making money not losing it. That is why people go into business.We can use that money to add a good IT technician and other key associates that will be needed for the US expansion and the first commercialization of Cloud Channel.
When the right person comes along I expect they will be connected to the entertainment industry as well. Steve from Aderra seems to be a more of a peoples person. Not one to get involved in corporate business.
Steve Baughman is the co-principal at Aderra. Steve, a Grammy-winning audio "genius," is the key to the talent access. He brought in 50-Cent, Lady GaGa, all of Universal Music . 50 Cent is GodFather to one of Steve's children. An example how Steve has developed personal relationships with his clients
You gave me an idea. We should get other pis of the rest of the staff at work at Digital Clarity. Perhaps the NY office when it gets ready. A few good pics make good Ibox material. As far as the staff keep working I have a feeling they are about to get even busier as Digital Clarity plans their expansion. For the first time the company will direct all its energy and resources into Reggie's plans.
I agree that is exactly what it looks like
Thanks I think its a great move to keep an eye on this. This company ( rtgv) is the real deal and the chart is beat up and oversold
Powerful rebound taking place. Looks to have plenty of strength left. Don't be surprised to see a small down day or two before a bigger move
First of let me say that I am likely the one that has been most critical and vocal of those criticisms directly to the company since I became a shareholder. Critical on things I felt could have been done better. Those criticisms were often a collection of other shareholder thoughts. I have always seen the potential here and respected the solid management that this company has had and still has. They always impressed me as one of the best I have seen in penny stocks. That is why I took the time in the first place. I liked everyone
I want to give my opinions on the new shift in the business model of the company. My opinions actually are harnessed from experience. They are just my opinions don’t buy or sell because of them. I owned a company that is very similar to Digital Clarity. I first started by developing one of the first online shopping sites with full security. This particular company is still selling online and is still in the family. It received national attention at one point being one of QVC’s best products on their 50 50 tour. I then launched a Internet firm which designed corporate websites and handled their online advertising. I did several shopping sites as well. My company was fully operating when Google launched Google Ad Words which I became a strong advocate of and managed campaigns for clients. One of the more widely used search engines was Alta Vista at the time. Reggie I believe began his career working for them around that time. Digital Clarity in my view has an enormous potential for growth as Reggie wrote about today. Besides what he has mentioned our global marketing has recently turned mobile and social. Almost every company that has a website has some need to adapt to the mobile technology and advertise through social media. Billboard artists are screaming for answers to issues surrounding social media. That is a massive market. It is not a matter of being able to pick up new business and grow revenue it’s a matter of handling the work load that will come with an expansion into the US and make it profitable. Reggie has a very high level of technical ability. He has always been the most tech savy person in the company and is competitive with anyone in the market imo. This makes Cloud Channel a perfect fit for Digital Clarity as well. Digital Clarity is currently bringing in 1.5M in revenues and if I recall correctly enjoying a net healthy net income. Digital Clarity is focused on how to make money now. That does not mean the company can or will stop putting money into research and development for future Cloud Channel products. Reggie already alluded to recently that he has identified a technology within Cloud Channel that he can bring to market soon not just with independent labels but signed artists as well. This is an example of the mind set of Digital Clarity. The business is looking to make money now .That is something I can identify with and its what this stock and its shareholders need the most. Someone said today this is turning into a one man company. Quite the contrary. I have had the opportunity to work with a couple of Reggie’s associates. They have impressed me as highly trained capable individuals. Any expansion into the US will mean hiring an additional work force to handle the work load. I see the company associates as growing in numbers not reducing as long as Digital Clarity plans and executes its growth properly.
We have a great strategic partner in Aderra, thanks to Linda in the first place for landing it. The strategic partnership with Aderra I am confident Reggie will begin to work with and make things happen. Again this is my opinion only. It has been pr’d about Steve at Aderra bringing in a celebrity endorsement. I see no reason why that will not happen. He is connected. He has personal relationships with these artists. I bet he will get it done. Reggie’s ideas to take a technology within CC, bring it to market for independent and signed artists, could circle us with many artists. Keep in Mind Aderra has the client base of most of the top billboard artists. We have a ready made client base all we have to do is deliver something they need and want
My biggest concern at the moment is our share price. Linda has done a great job of funding this company and stretching resources a very long way with minimal dilution. However she is not a miracle worker. This share price if not turned around can hurt us. I hope all the shareholders give this just a little more time. We can get this turned around! If/when Reggie is able to start delivering some good news with $$$ attached sentiment will change fast and hopefully the share price too. I plan on staying on board and help in any way I can. When it comes time to resume the awareness program I will be ready. I have not stopped planning for when the time comes. Those that worked with us in the last campaign did a great job. They really worked hard. I would like to utilize what worked and try other ideas as well. It’s too bad we got stopped in our tracks we had a successful first leg and were set for bigger and better things. That should not have happened but it did and everyone suffered from it. The next time I expect we will finish what we start. I would love to see the company get to the point where independent sources start covering us. That is the best advertisement a company can get. Until they do get to that level we have to do what we can with available resources to get the word out about developments as they happen
Best of luck to everyone
I just called the company they said a PR will be coming regarding the filing
excellent!
Welcome and best of luck moving forward
Probably a long story but the good news is they see it now.
What I love about these over done sell offs on big companies is the rebound tends to be over done too : )
This is going to rebound fully at some point
This is excellent news in this blog. Reggie has quickly identified how some of the technology in cloudChannel can be put to use to create new revenue streams. Great to hear Cloud Channel is alive and "well into building something that will not only fulfill the need to know but actually manage and influence the data that is needed when selling music and merchandise." Not just independent labels but large record labels as well.
Deploying the technology in this manner could gain traction fast. Since this is coming from Digital Clarity I am confident this is a short term expectation. They don't think too far ahead and they execute. They have shown a history of bringing in solid revenues and growth. They have solid clients some of them big names. You don't get to that point by dreaming you get there by execution.
Great deal at this discounted price
Showing some strength lately
Yes the kind of tweaking that will bring in new revenues, make new deals, deliver on old ones, regain strong credibility, and get this thing going in the short term. That's what we need and that is what we should all expect. Best of luck to all us shareholders!
I get no indication at all especially from today's PR that Cloud Channel is gone. I get the sense that the technology is alive and well and will finally be put to use to make money in the shorter term with Digital Clarity in control. The company is obviously addressing the issues we all put forth and is ready to make changes according to todays news. Lets see what Digital Clarity will do now that it has control. Control it could prove it should have had a long time ago
"but we really need a guy who can hoof it right now."
I could not agree more. Don't forget Reggie is the one that did this PR. He has been all about delivery. Look at Digital Clarity. Profitable, revenues of 1.5M and appears set for solid growth. I always felt Digital Clarity and its capabilities were kept in the dark and not focused on properly. Times are changing the disruptive Technology is under Digital Clarity and it appears all company focus is as well.
I agree it will be interesting to see what is shed. I expect/hope its not either of their two partners but projects that hinder the company from focusing on projects that will bring in $$$ now. I am more interested in what will be what new revenue streams achieved and when. Once again when Reggie speaks of new revenue I am going to take that very seriously. He has proven delivery in that regard. He has not been one to talk without action. e is not a carrot dangler
"If I see that RTG is sponsoring a wet tshirt contest with ella montclare in a 10/17 PR, i will lose it"
Now that is just funny!
I don't think that PR had anything to do with new investors or expecting people to buy stock on that news. It was directed at current shareholders. By the looks of it its just a start of Reggie and company communicating with us.
Some great advice here especially for management of any company but not limited to them. Shareholders and any individual in life can learn something from him IMO
12 lessons for us all from the life of Steve Jobs

Commentary: What Apple co-founder’s achievements tell the rest of us
1. Yes, you can make a difference
Anyone trying to achieve real change — in life, in a company or in any organization — probably feels the urge to give up half a dozen times a day. The naysayers and seat polishers will do everything to slow you down. No one is suggesting that what Apple achieved was the result of Jobs alone, but his career is proof of just how much one individual can change things.
2. You need a vision
It’s not enough to conduct opinion polls and customer surveys, and rely on consultants’ projections. Those are all based on the conventional wisdom and the world as it is today. Jobs imagined things — most obviously the iPod, and the iTunes services — that didn’t yet exist and for which the market was uncertain. While his competitors were still building the products of yesterday, he was imagining, and building, those of tomorrow.
3. It’s not about you
It’s horrifying how many business decisions are still made on the assumption that “well, we have to do something with the XYZ division, so let’s give them this project” or “Buggins has seniority, so he’s in charge.” Do you think the customer cares about Buggins or XYZ? Jobs built Apple into a streamlined operation, focused on the output, nothing else.
4. Focus, focus, focus
Hard to believe, but mediocre managers everywhere like to keep their staff “busy” because they think that’s “productive.” It isn’t. (Ask them what their top priority is, and they’ll name two things. Or four. Or 16.) Apple sure was “busy, busy, busy” when Jobs arrived. And it was going bust. One of the first things he did was ax about 90% of the company’s activities and focus — first on the iMac, then on the iPod.
5. ‘OK’ is not OK
Look at the way Apple’s competitors keep putting out mediocre or unfinished products and thinking they’ll get away with it. Are they for real? The days when you could get by with second best are so over. Jobs was famous for a fanatical perfectionism. It was a core element of Apple’s success.
6. It’s not about the money
Steve Jobs’s life was a thumping rebuttal to all those who are obsessed with cash. The guy had billions: far more than he could ever spend, even if he had lived to 100. Yet he kept working, and striving to achieve greater things. Money? Bah. Something to think about the next time a CEO demands another $20 million a year as an incentive to show up.
7. It ain’t over till it’s over
Fifteen years ago Steve Jobs appeared to be a has-been in Silicon Valley. And Apple was circling the drain: plagued with losses, executive turnover, reorganizations, desperate asset sales and research cuts. Apple’s stock hit a low of $3.23 in 1996, and hardly anyone wanted it even at that price.
8. Give people what they really want
Sounds obvious, right? But most companies don’t do it. They simply produce what they’ve always produced, or what’s comfortable, or what Buggins thinks people want. For years the computer industry churned out ugly, clunky beige products with complicated operating systems. They all did it, and they all assumed that’s what people wanted. Turns out it wasn’t at all.
9. Destroy your own products — before someone else does
Jobs made sure that Apple kept innovating, and rendering its own products obsolete. Creative destruction came from within! That’s why Apple is a $354 billion company, and, say, Palm has vanished from Earth, even though a 2004 iPod is just as out of date as a 2004 Treo. How rare is this? Jobs knew full well that his $500 iPad threatens to cannibalize sales of $1,000 laptops. But he moved forward nonetheless. Most companies wouldn’t.
10. We are all spin doctors now
Critics point out that a lot of what Jobs achieved at Apple was put down to hype and hustle. But that was the point. And Jobs was a master at it — the product teasers, the showmanship on stage, even the black turtlenecks. Truth be told, we live in a superficial age of infinite media. We are all in the spin business. Deal with it.
11. Most people don’t know what they’re doing
It takes nothing away from Steve Jobs to point out that he couldn’t have done it without his competitors. Microsoft, Palm, Nokia, Dell, H-P — the list goes on. They missed opportunities, stayed complacent, failed to innovate and generally mishandled the ways their industries changed. It’s normal to assume that the people around us — and in power — know what they are doing. As Jobs proved, they often don’t.
12. Your time is precious — don’t waste it
Steve Jobs was just 56 when he died — a comparatively young man — and yet during his short spell on Earth he revolutionized the way we live, several times over. What are we doing with our time? It is the resource we waste the most — and it’s the one we cannot buy. Make the most of your short spell on this planet. Make each day and hour count.
