News then Mr Nation???
You said this week.
Granted there is a day to deliver, but as the weather is a scorcher my bet is Draper is down camber sands today topping up his tan!!
Some one moaned about disruptive posts, and trolls yesterday but your posts are just as bad Mr Nation. Baseless Ramps
There is still all day left today, never say never!
Like most CEOs, promise you dreams and end up with nightmares, I bet a lot of investors in bids now wished that they had never heard of the company and the CEO
This time last year, we were heading for the stars, now we are in hell and to think, the highlight of the Q and A to JD was , how do you like your toast in the morning, Just about sums everything up
Come on fudge.
You have been asking for an RNS every day since summer last year.
There’s nothing brewing and will be no news today
Mr Nation just posts with no knowledge at all.
It’s all bs
We had the trading update last week, which in my book was very positive!
More news will come, i firmly believe bids are on track to deliver now. The trading update confirmed that i my eyes.
If that’s your gut feel about TU then That’s fine fudge.
I’m just pulling up people like Mr Nation that posts baseless ramps, but then calls people who have a negative stance a troll.
A couple of Decent games before end of September and very real chance of meeting annual forecast.
I just can’t see them doing that without more games
I completely agree with you Gridz, yes bids need more games. But i firmly believe they are in the pipeline (bids are actually involved in alot more games already, just not been rns yet). I think the next few months are going to be very exciting!
This time next year Rodney....these will be diluted again and we'll be hearing how close they are to pulling off a very important deal. Same shyte, just a different date. Simple as that gents.
The nuts and bolts of it are that BIDS need to employ a closer. Someone who can close a deal; sadly their team are struggling to close the fridge door. It’s pretty pitiful...
From someone who closes multimillion pound deals on a regular basis the issue is pretty obvious. They are busy building relationships which is only part of the puzzle, now they need to close some business.
Who are you fursake? Would love to know your creds
Pitiful is correct Fursake....and it won't change.
Finnovator, I am not sure what publicising my credentials would achieve? Would it make you believe my viewpoint? If so, you very quickly need to reassess your thought process.
Instead you should consider the content of the post rather than it’s author. Your primary aim should be to discredit the viewpoint and if you are unable to do so add a weight bias as to how much of an impact that viewpoint has on the short, mid and long term outlook of the business.
Hope this helps.
Fursake, its not an issue of whether I believe you or not. Its your use of language to convince others of your opinion. People on this board may have closed multi-billion pound deals in their careers - does that make their opinion more qualified than yours? I certainly don't go round using my past experience to bulldoze my opinion onto others here. You sound like a ******, so will do the honors of filtering!
Finnovator, I must say that I am deeply saddened by your choice to filter me. I don’t know how I will carry on with the rest of my life without you in it.
You reason astounds need though, because there language I use is too convincing? I could say it in broken English and my point is still as valid as the next man.
The last deal I closed was last week not some one time event from 30 years ago. It was a £6m modular construction project in the south of England.
Anyway irrespective of the above my point remains; Bids need a closer, they need someone who can take a client who is on the edge and bring them int the Bidstack family.
Once they choose Bidstack, if we service them right there is no reason for them to ever switch. Most creatives are creatures of habit, if they have something that works they will continue to use it so they can focus on what really matters to them... being creative.
Bids need a closer, we won’t excel in the inevitable land grab until we get one.
Laughing - my game plan is to make money from long term investments (like bids).

RE: Where’s thisMon 21:01
Chris Akers has a position here , right ? ?????????????????????????????????????????????? LOL If he is, he will be out of pocket
Can respect yours but do you know how BIDS intend to achieve theirs? Scalable platform matters. Individual games not so important as they will look after themselves. So will advertsisers. A place to meet is needed.
There will be a market platform for games and advertsiers to meet. That's the golden ticket.
Can you explain to me why games don’t matter to an in game advertiser.
Odd statement
because the platform is where the money is.
get that right and the advertsiers and games meet.
the wavefront of games is too wide to win them 1 by 1 and to expect that to be a good model.
platform can grow rapidly - the games and advertsiers meet - a market place.
big $.
some people are probably here without understanding the med-long term target and need.
the market place/platform is the money ball.
My son just pointed out Subway Surfer has introduced in-game advertising, an advert for Walmart appears discreetly on a banner within the game. Very subtle, but easily spotted.
The naivety is quite astounding, to get the ball rolling by definition we have to give it a nudge. To gain momentum we have to have to first add some momentum...
They have tons of closers on the board. They have to be doing something. We have the ex-head of Sega, we got Wise and the esteemed House. Lewis Sherlock was the man with the plan. We got closers falling out the trees, Will Kassoy closed the three biggest games on EA and sits on our board.
The thing that's worrying is if none of these guys can close what have we got, and where are we next to the competition?
Ironsource had an offering way less impressive, they sold a quarter of their adtech games business for a sum that valued them at over £1 billion. We can't bring in a few games and a little revenue. This year going on the great JD's original plan was to be a £20 mill rev year. It's now £9 mil next year.
It's now not what words fall from JD's mouth but what figures he pulls out from his ar5e.
Shareholders know this they were told the £10 mil trading agreement would be kicking in and it was in that company's interest to make it as large as possible. Six months later, it comes in after lockdown period and gaming booming at £235k.
Looking forward for £9 mil backhalf... Maybe because we can't go to our places of worship our prayers can't be answered. Unless we count the boozer as our spiritual centre.
I disagree altogether, the board members you have mentioned are openers. They open doors to the relevant sectors of the industry. For example Mike Hayes, ex head of Sega... his contacts within the industry whilst invaluable but in a position like that you aren’t required to relentlessly hunt business...
Derek Wise, Amanda experienced software technologists, a completely different skill set to a seasoned sales professional skilled in closing deals.
Will Kassoy, Previous job titles, CEO, Brand Manager, Vice President... these give valuable experience (probably one of the best people to have on the board) but still not a predator with a finely honed nose that can sniff out a sale from 100miles...
Andrew House, Previous job roles, CEO, CMO, President, even if he was something more than an advisor his skill set still isn’t what we are lacking. There is nothing about these people which I would liken to the stench of a battle hardened professional negotiator ravenously hungry for another dose of success...
I could go on and on but I have studied our team and we have a gaping hole... we have so many doors open right now with all these openers we just need someone with the minerals to look these clients in the eye and ask for their business.
It sounds so simple but believe me, when your entire livelihood is on the line. 99% of people **** the money bed.
