RealBiz Engages MKR Group for Investor Relations

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Jan 9, 2017) - RealBiz Media Group, Inc. (OTCQB: RBIZ), announced today that it has retained MKR Group to create and execute a new proactive investor relations program addressing current as well as potential investors. MKR will support the company's transition from its legacy RealBiz business into an international food company, with a new management team, industry focus, and name.

"Over the next several months, we will be introducing ourselves for the first time to the investment community," said incoming CEO Anshu Bhatnagar. "We knew that we needed a veteran firm with deep industry contracts to lay the groundwork for our outreach. MKR is well known for its expertize with small cap growth stocks and cross-border operations, two key elements of our business plan."

MKR Group will handle all aspects of investor outreach, both buy- and sell-side, with a particular emphasis on investor education during this early transition phase.

"RealBiz has a very large base of investors, all of whom admittedly invested in a different kind of company," explained Mr. Bhatnagar. "To those investors, we ask -- give us a chance. We think shareholders will be pleased to find that they own part of a dynamic growth company with a very bright future. Our incoming team has previously built very successful operations in the international food distribution space, so our goal is to quickly create a large, profitable company. Our target markets are very large, over $250B worldwide, representing years of potential growth. We have a roadmap in place to successfully penetrate some of the underserved segments of these markets and look forward to explaining that strategy in coming months."
