Founder, President, CEO & Chairman
Good afternoon, everybody. Thank you, Paul. I appreciate yourself, [ Alan ] and the rest of the group from iAccess Alpha allowing me to be one of the closing out companies presenting today. Virtual rooms are full, and everybody seem to have a great day of it.
So with that said, for folks that don’t know who I am and who ACCESS Newswire is, my name is, as Paul said, Brian Balbirnie, I’m the CEO of the company. NYSE American-traded ACCS is the symbol, ACCESS Newswire is the name. We are the third, fourth largest, give or take, everyday changes, volume distribution news outlet in North America. We are the fastest-growing newswire still to this day. We benefit from having thousands and tens of thousands of customers that use our platform every single quarter to tell their story, both public and private.
This presentation isn’t much different than what I used in the last presentations and shows. So I may be a little iterative to somebody and repetitive, rather. But folks who don’t know the story, I hope I get a chance to talk to you tomorrow and do some follow-up.
A little bit of a back story, right, about us. ACCESS Newswire actually was a company started in 2006 called Issuer Direct Corporation. We began our market entrance
