Further scope for continuing large projects is also promised, in the form of a partnership in Innovators International, a global association with 50+ corporate members, including 3M, Pernod Ricard, The Shekar Group (part of Tata), The Mayo Clinic and Patagonia.
Philip Letts, blur Group CEO commented, 'blur's platform development and investment in our digital marketing and sales channels continues to show results in an ever-faster adoption of s-commerce globally. A high value, long lifetime project kicking off on the Exchange such as blur's latest $3.2 million marketing project increases the predictable and long-term revenue stream enabled by blur's robust platform, designed to support projects of all sizes and values. The project news validates the Exchange's mainstream potential whilst blur's major new partner is happy to extend the reach of s-commerce to some well-known names in new markets and regions - one step closer to realising blur's potential $2tn addressable market."
