New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: CA$135.9m (US$99.8m) This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (25% increase in shares outstanding).

DATA Communications Management Corp. Launches Personalized Video Solution to Meet Growing Demand for High-Impact Personalized Content DATA Communications Management Corp. announced the launch of PRSNL™, a full-service, end-to-end, personalized video content platform. PRSNL encompasses all aspects of creating and delivering personalized videos — from strategy, storyboarding, and creative development to editing, hosting, and distribution. Personalized video delivery at scale is a complex process that requires specialized knowledge, technology, and resources that most companies do not have readily available. Personalization also involves the use of customer data, which requires rigorous attention to privacy and security. Consumer expectations for personalized, multichannel communication have never been higher — according to McKinsey, 71% of consumers expect companies to deliver personalized interactions. And across those channels, video has emerged as a leading application to engage consumers and help them understand brands, products, and services. Consequently, marketers are investing more heavily in video content. However, 63% of digital marketing leaders continue to struggle with delivering personalized experiences, according to Gartner. This is particularly the case when it comes to generating video content; as noted by HubSpot, key challenges include lack of time to create content, difficulty developing a video strategy, and inadequate budgets. Simply put, personalized videos can deliver powerful levels of audience engagement, but producing and delivering them can be dauntingly difficult. Price Target Changed • Nov 16
