Are You Looking for A Distributor for Your VR Product?

People see the success of Hologate, and think they just need a distributor to make hundreds of sales. What they don't understand is before Hologate ever met with Creative Works, we spent months going through positioning, figuring out ideal target markets, and then coming up with a pitch deck. My new program will help you prepare, find and pitch to your ideal distribution partner. Participation is extremely limited and will fill up quickly. Click below to email me for more info.

Bob Cooney was an early advisor once we determined that we would be entering into the space of family entertainment. With his nearly 30 years of predicting business and technology trends, evaluating product and market viability, and helping to introduce new experiences to the public, he would be an asset to any company looking for leg up on the competition.

My experience with Bob has been he is always creative, thinks outside the box and is solution oriented. He expertise is in the areas of marketing, sales, business development, and whatever area his primary focus and responsibilities are he shares his experience with others freely in support of their success as well. He is a strategic long range thinker, but is action plan oriented.

"An eye-opening experience"

Ever since our first contact with Bob, we've felt that unique chemistry that defines true professionalism. With true down-to-Earth and practical approach, Bob has been an invaluable help to our strategic development. Thanks to Bob's intimate knowledge of best practices in out-of-home entertainment market and track record-proven "do's and dont's" combined with crystal clear intensive study framework, our team was able to lay the foundation to what normally takes months to prepare. On behalf of all of Neurogaming team, I would like to thank Bob for his time and help!

I've worked with several consultants throughout Virtuix's history, but I can say that our workshop with Bob has been the most impressive and valuable consulting session I have ever experienced. Bob is a marketing genius. In just one day, we were able to cut through the noise, including our own nonsense, and distill a brilliant marketing message and positioning that set us up for success in this competitive industry. If you need help to navigate marketing and find your value proposition in the location-based entertainment space, Bob is the best guide around."

Kevin Bachus

SVP Dave and Busters

Bobs creativity, big picture view, and extensive industry insight enable him to quickly position a product and formulate a go-to-market strategy. His charismatic leadership, relatability, and genuine enthusiasm enable him to facilitate this type of thinking during his workshop. Our team came away from the workshop educated on the industry and with a real sense of ownership in the positioning, brand identity, and market strategy developed over our 2 day session. We are charged up and excited to tackle the challenges still ahead. Bob's executive mentoring workshop is fantastic and I would highly recommend it to any company looking to enter the Location-Based Entertainment space.
