Up-and-coming marketing firm AIMS Worldwide (OTCBB: AMWW) has been on an acquisition spree lately, gobbling up other companies in an effort to expand its operations beyond its original borders.In a recent interview with Market News First, AIMS President and CEO Gerald Garcia Jr. revealed the company’s latest acquisitions and the strategy behind them.
“We have been in an acquisition mode and client development mode,” Garcia said. “We have added a couple of significant emerging clients to our book of business.”
Included among the company’s acquisitions are southwestern U.S.-based restaurant Times Grill, a chain famous for its grilled burgers; BestLine International Research, an emerging microsynthetic lubricant company that recently developed a near-frictionless lubricant for industrial uses; and Street Fighting Marketing, a Ohio-based grassroots marketing firm that gives small-town individuals the chance to market their individual businesses more effectively.
To Garcia, these acquisitions are the perfect reward to several years of hard work.
“In the past four years, we simply have been a company in development working to bring our strategy of changing the marketing paradigm to fruition,” Garcia said. “We think this and next year will be the year that AIMS comes out.”
Garcia said that the core strategy behind all these acquisitions is giving AIMS a larger network of interconnected companies to pass services through, both giving AIMS a wide selection of services and giving customers a wider choice.
“We want to deliver accurate, integrated marketing solutions to our clients,” Garcia said. “If you own the company, you can just pass the business to your company and significantly lower cost of sales.”
