The new partnership with SAM builds on Platform's 20 plus years of experience in the broadcast and media technology sector, managing global communications programmes for industry innovators such as Ericsson, Grass Valley, NDS and TANDBERG Television. Kevin O'Meara, Head of Marketing SAM said: We are excited to add Platform Communications to our team at such a pivotal moment for our business and the media industry. SAM creates some of the most innovative solutions on the market and now is the time to step up our communications and share our vision, successes and differentiators.
