IRVINE, Calif., July 25, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- "As investors attempt to analyze and evaluate the actions of the public companies they feverishly monitor, one oft-used gauge of potential success is the relationships the company forms," noted SmallCap Sentinel analyst D.R. Clark. "And credentials that include 'market leader with proven track record' is high on the list of desirable traits."
"Exemplifying such a union is the recent announcement by Clearly Canadian Beverage Corporation (OTCBB:CCBEF) that it had hired the INOV8 Beverage Company to develop a new line of beverages under the Clearly Canadian trademark," continued Clark. "INOV8 is led by two beverage industry giants -- Mike Weinstein, former CEO of Snapple, and Brian O'Byrne, former CEO of Yoo-hoo/Orangina."
The announcement included comments from Clearly Canadian's CEO, Brent Lokash, who said "Mike and Brian have been responsible for a tremendous increase in the value of every beverage company in which they have been involved. Mike's enjoyed great success at Snapple, where he purchased a declining brand for $300 million, created a dramatic turnaround and then sold it three years later for $1.4 billion. That provides a great template for what we are striving to achieve at Clearly Canadian."
"Having INOV8 on the team is a very bullish indicator for Clearly Canadian," Clark concluded.
