'Our commercial traction in 2016 continues unabated. We continue to demonstrate the effectiveness of our new strategy and its execution with our ability to sell our products into new workflows, growing revenues from both new and existing clients. The tennis event in particular offers an exceptional opportunity to leverage a valuable marketing case study to help drive further sales.'
