CEO statement
Full speed ahead with SpectrumOne
We have now successfully launched our new platform SpectrumOne and are happy to
see the positive feedback from both customers and partners. Two customers have
already signed, and we have a strong pipeline of new customers. We are confident
that the heavy investments through 2018 have been correct and we have made a
strategic move into an open spot in the martech market. We frequently see peer
companies with valuations that states the opportunity in the market.
TargetEveryone is now perfectly positioned to join this opportunity space and I
look forward to go full speed ahead in 2019.
The last part of 2018 has also shown us that our strategic priorities have been
correct, as the revenue from our first-generation platform has been slowing down
despite structured effort towards customers and partners. Consequently, we have
reorganized our resources towards SpectrumOne and Online Sales and scaled down
costs related to legacy. The cost cutting effects will take full effect towards
the end of Q1 19, but at the same time it is important for me to emphasis that
only a sharp increase in sales and revenues as indicated in our 19´prognosis
will bring this company into profitability. This has been a demanding process
and I honor the team at TargetEveryone for a great effort over the last months
since I joined in October.
SpectrumOne
We are both proud and happy to see the feedback from customers and partners from
SpectrumOne. As of today, we have already signed two new customers - Agria
dyreforsikring and Createurene. The reception from the market has exceeded our
expectations. We see that direct customers easily understand the tool that
addresses three pain points that no other solutions can address with the same
quality:
1) Lack of one common truth:
With SpectrumOne, our clients can collect market data, customer data and
customer dialogue in one solution rather than employing multiple separate
solutions in each vertical.
2) Big data is not accessible across organizations:
Very few systems make the users able to easily process the massive amount of
data that is available. Marketeers lack a visual tool for understanding their
customers.
3) Communication channels are not aligned:
Owned marketing channels are managed as silos within organizations. This leads
to a suboptimal communication in channels that customers might not prefer and
respond to.
SpectrumOne solves all these pain points. We serve a solution in a fast-growing
market where "tool fatigue" is becoming a problem for marketeers with too many
systems to manage.
We have also experienced that the price points are accepted in the market, thus
SpectrumOne makes us able to charge up to 10.0x higher license than the previous
platform.
The strategy and the execution
The revenue development in the second half year has been slowing down, despite a
substantial effort to regain momentum. This has proven that our legacy business
model has put us in a position where we were "stuck in the middle". The
enterprise customers have not been sufficiently interested in the solution, and
we have not had a sufficiently standardized product to sell with limited efforts
in a larger scale.
This makes us confident that the chosen strategy to differentiate in two clear
market offerings has been correct - SpectrumOne to premium enterprise clients
and our legacy TargetEveryone solution in online subscription offering towards
Global SMEs.
To address this strategic situation, we made adjustments during Q4. A new
strategy was laid and we created new identity and websites for both our legacy
and new product. We also made several changes to our organization. The sales
resources have redirected their full attention towards SpectrumOne from the
legacy platform. We have also reduced staff and reorganized our partnership in
Portugal to make the organization more lean towards either SpectrumOne or Online
Sales. These were key actions to launch and sign the first customers on
SpectrumOne as fast as we did during the fourth quarter. This has been a
challenging process and I would like to thank the great team in TargetEveryone
for pulling in the same direction with a constructive and trustworthy attitude.
Our ambitions
In total, 2018 became a year with a giant transformation for TargetEveryone. By
developing SpectrumOne, we have invested heavily with high costs and
capitalizations compare to our revenue. The main job is now done and we look
forward to harvest.
The martech market serves us with a fantastic opportunity space, where we are
perfectly positioned with a solution that addresses the megatrends driving the
growth. The expectations to the market are visible through highly comparable
companies with valuations at five times revenue and higher.
Based on the great market and the feedback on SpectrumOne, we presented our 2019
revenue prognosis of MSEK 60. This revenue contains both SpectrumOne, Online
Sales and a continuation of existing legacy revenue. The sales will be handled
with our own organization and through our partners, and we experience a strong
pipeline. Telenor is getting up to speed and the collaboration towards larger
clients has so far been promising. We will also sign more media and advertising
agencies as partners that will both be paying customers and resellers.
Online Sales is already targeting a global market, while SpectrumOne will be
concentrated towards the Norwegian and Swedish market in H1 2019. We want to
keep close to the customers in the first phase after launching SpectrumOne, to
be able to respond quickly to the request for improvements. In the following
period our ambitions are to expand to Europe and USA. We have partners ready in
both Holland, Portugal and USA, which gives us a quick setup in these countries.
I genuinely look forward to 2019 and to go full speed ahead.

About TargetEveryone
TargetEveryone is a global MARTECH company, enabling our clients to streamline
their 1-1 digital marketing, content and experiences within one SasS online
platform. The company´s strategy is to approach both the enterprise segment and
the SME-segment with two different platforms that are based on the same
technology, but with different modules and interfaces. Our unique solution makes
marketeers able to easily target exactly the customers they want, and
communicate with them in the channels they prefer, to maximize ROI. Our clients
can easily segment their customers based on CRM data, market data and
transactional data. Further, they can use a campaign editor to quickly build
campaigns, and distribute these through our multichannel distribution system
either by Email, SMS or SMS landing pages. The enterprise customers are served
with our new platform SpectrumOne, combining market analysis, customer
segmentation and communication tools, while the SME-customers are provided an
online subscription solution through Targeteveryone.com. Both solutions are
based on big data to analyze and refine the customers behavior and
demands. TargetEveryone´s headquarter is in Oslo, with branch offices in Sweden,
Holland, India and USA. TargetEveryone is listed on Nasdaq First North in
Stockholm and Merkur Market in Oslo.
