If timing is everything, DeliverTheCrowd is certainly on to something. After months of work creating and decades of marketing experience, they have opened their doors on the very day that soliciting accredited investors for Equity Crowdfunding besomes legal.
Below is the email we received from DeliverTheCrowd.com, along with the press release going out on Sept. 23rd, 2013 announcing their entrance in to the crowdfunding consultant marketplace.
Introductory email from Deliver The Crowd, founder Chas Salmore:
Our agency website is finally “live”. www.deliverthecrowd.com. Our Press Release is attached.
Please let us know what you think. We welcome your interest and look forward to working with you and any prospects who are considering crowdfunding to raise capital.

We even help our clients select the perfect crowdfunding platform for their offer, no matter if it is equity, debt, donations or reward-based.
Press Release from Deliver The Crowd:
Los Angeles, CA (September 10, 2013) – The launch of Deliver The Crowd, LLC, a specialized marketing
and PR agency focused on generating investor interest in financings for small to large equity, debt and
rewards-based crowdfunding campaigns, was announced today by Deliver the Crowd Co-founder &
CEO, Rand Bleimeister.
Deliver the Crowd’s unique portfolio services equip their clients with powerful, innovative marketing and
PR campaigns that deliver measurable crowdfunding results. Each client’s business is carefully
positioned with the correct investor audience and supported with compelling content that engages,
inspires and drives investment. Whether the campaign is to raise funds for equity, rewards, debt or
donations, Deliver the Crowd provides each client with the marketing expertise required to gain
widespread recognition and reach their crowdfunding goals. The range of services offered includes PR,
social media marketing, video production, copywriting, email marketing, rewards development and
fulfillment, and post-campaign relationship management with contributors and investors.
“It used to be that you had to go through a financial institution like a bank to get funding for a novel or big
idea, but crowdfunding is changing all of that,” says Bleimeister, who prior to co-founding Deliver the
Crowd, ran several digital ventures in the broadcasting and media industries. “Crowdfunding can be a
great financing resource for a company, but unfortunately more than 50% of crowdfunding programs do
not achieve their goals—even on the two top tier platforms Kickstarter and Indiegogo—mainly because of
weak marketing and PR. We’ve discussed this with numerous Broker-Dealers and equity-based
platforms, and they concur that companies who try to save money by managing their own marketing,
social media and PR are being penny wise and pound foolish, and are putting their campaigns at greater
risk of failure.”

“Deliver the Crowd helps our clients achieve successful crowdfunded financing results through well
thought out, professionally planned and executed marketing campaigns that start three to six months prior
to the kickoff of a financing event,” says Chas Salmore, co-founder and President of Deliver the Crowd.
“We leverage social media networks, advertising and PR resources to get the word out that your new
crowdfunding opportunity is now available for a limited time. We then track your portal traffic, follow-up on
questions from prospective investors and make sure your entire campaign is executed to realize optimum
results.”
Backed by 75+ years of combined professional staff experience and resources (including addressing
similar needs for numerous Fortune 500’s and top-tier Madison Avenue advertising agencies), Deliver
the Crowd skillfully empowers businesses and entrepreneurs to reach and exceed their crowdfunding
objectives. Once the campaign has been funded, Deliver the Crowd facilitates the fulfillment of all
crowdfunding pledges, and provides communications services that are specifically designed for
crowdfunding investors. Deliver the Crowd also continues to manage PR and social media marketing
efforts, post-campaign.
