Recently David McInnis sold PRWeb to Vocus - more info. I’ve been retained with the same basic duties and responsibilities and you should continue to see the same great pace of development and ingenuity which have always made PRWeb a leader. Additionally there should be some goodness of co-mingling of our two services to the benefit of all in the coming months.
The many weeks leading up to the big day of signing, hence forth known as The Big Day of Signing, we stayed up late every night looking over legal documents reviewed and modified by so many attorneys, each leaving a colored MS Word track-changes mark. These documents became almost like one of those pictures where you had to look at it out of focus to see the image. There was data gathering, report building, statistics generating, number crunching, and just general lack of sleep. During the last leg we were in Manhattan, NY trying to get some other business rolling along, where we ended up over taking the offices and fax machine of some friends who were most gracious and made with the inking. There’s many more details involved but those are stories for the fireside, for now it’s enough to know that a vacation is in order and here’s some pictures.
The first one is of the exact moment David signed. So that is the face a person makes when they earn $28 million. The second is a nice celebratory toast with kosher wine (grape juice). A congratulations to all involved. I know Bas and Steve from Vocus were probably up as late every night as we were and it was a team effort to make this close as quickly as it did. A few other notable mentions would have to goto Alex and Joel who came with us to the Vocus corporate offices in Maryland and managed to make sense of the raw data provided to them.
