Itaconix PLC (LSE:ITX, OTCQB:ITXXF) CEO John Shaw joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company’s recent performance and initiatives, with a particular focus on its evolving digital marketing strategy.
Shaw expressed optimism about Itaconix’s trajectory, reflecting on both the successes and challenges faced in the first half of 2024. He noted that while the company’s restructuring efforts resulted in lower revenues, they successfully improved gross profit margins, which are now nearing their target of over 35%.
Shaw emphasized that Itaconix is prioritizing profitability by leveraging its unique, high-value ingredients used in everyday consumer products such as detergents and deodorants.
He also unveiled a new corporate website aimed at attracting brand managers by offering specific value propositions, which will facilitate faster and more efficient product launches. Shaw explained, “Our digital marketing initiative allows us to target very specific audiences with tailored value propositions, speeding up engagement and adoption.”
