We ll be relying on Darin s expertise and leadership as we extend our operations to address this demand and bring immersive experiences to museums and sport venues."

Astucemedia s hiring of Crosby is part of a larger expansion of operations at both its Montreal and Dubai offices to support the company s rapid growth and continued customer satisfaction.

It s an exciting time to be joining the talented team at Astucemedia."
