Wizard World Engages Liolios Group to Lead Strategic Investor Relations Program

Wizard World, Inc. (OTCQB:WIZD), a leading producer of pop culture events and distributor of online pop media, has engaged Liolios Group to lead a new strategic investor relations and financial communications program.

“Over last five years since we went public, we’ve seen our topline grow at a 60% CAGR, with 100% revenue growth and crossing over to profitability in 2014,” said John Macaluso, CEO of Wizard World. “We plan to sustain this momentum in 2015 by launching several new key initiatives that more fully leverages our uniquely powerful fan engagement platform. This includes launching ConTV, an OTT network in partnership with Cinedigm, and ComicConBox, a subscription-based, recurring revenue service for fans of all kinds.

“Despite our tremendous success and strong growth outlook, our story still appears to be largely overlooked by Wall Street. So, we believe our shareholders would benefit from a team of experienced capital markets professionals who will help us strengthen our investor communications, improve the transparency to our performance, and increase awareness of WIZD in the financial community. Liolios Group presents a solid track record of helping companies like ours enhance shareholder value by delivering, with persistency and focus, the right message to the right audience.”

Over the course of the next several months, Liolios Group will work closely with Wizard World management to develop and execute a comprehensive capital markets strategy, which includes messaging and corporate positioning, strategic advisory, and introductions to new investors and key influencers across the financial markets.
