NEW YORK, Oct. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- iQSTEL, Inc. (OTCQX: IQST), a rapidly growing telecommunications and technology provider, today announced a strategic partnership with ONAR (OTCQB: RELT), a leading network of specialized marketing agencies, to launch an ambitious and transformative rebranding initiative. This exciting collaboration is designed to enhance iQSTEL's visibility, amplify its unique value proposition, and strategically position the company for accelerated growth in high-potential markets, including telecommunications, fintech, electric vehicles (EV motorcycles and mid-speed car), and AI services.
Since 2018, iQSTEL has achieved exponential growth, fueled by its strategic acquisitions across multiple sectors, establishing itself as a diversified leader in cutting-edge industries. As the company prepares for its uplisting to Nasdaq and targets an impressive $1 billion in revenue by 2027, this partnership with ONAR marks a critical milestone in strengthening iQSTEL's market identity, reflecting its dynamic evolution and bold future ambitions.
Investor Impact and Strategic Rationale
This rebranding initiative comes at a pivotal time, as iQSTEL continues to hit new milestones. The company projects revenue growth from $144.5 million in 2023 to an anticipated $290 million in 2024—where one-third of this growth is expected to come organically. Through this partnership with ONAR and its flagship marketing agency, STORIA, iQSTEL aims to translate its operational successes into greater brand recognition and enhanced investor value. This collaboration is poised to increase iQSTEL's appeal to institutional investors by communicating the company's robust growth prospects and leadership in key market segments more effectively.
Aligning with ONAR's expertise in tech-driven marketing and brand strategy, iQSTEL seeks to further establish its position as a forward-thinking tech company, ready to capitalize on emerging opportunities in high-margin sectors such as fintech, electric vehicles, and AI-driven services. The company has been building a strong business platform with its customers, which include some of the largest telecommunications companies in the world. These customers trust iQSTEL, having interconnected their networks with us—resulting in more than 400 high-value network interconnections. This deep level of trust positions iQSTEL perfectly to begin offering high-tech, high-value services, leveraging our long-standing business relationships to expand into these emerging areas.
Leandro Iglesias, CEO of iQSTEL, commented: "This partnership with ONAR is not just about rebranding—it's about accelerating iQSTEL's momentum. As we continue executing our strategy to become a powerhouse corporation, having a bold and cohesive market identity will be key to our capital-raising initiatives and expanding our reach into new investor segments. With the trust of our global telecommunications partners and the strength of our network interconnections, we are in a prime position to offer next-generation services, using our history and customer relationships as leverage. We are confident this will drive long-term shareholder value."
ONAR CEO, Claude Zdanow, echoed this sentiment, stating: "iQSTEL's impressive expansion across multiple industries presents both a unique challenge and an incredible opportunity. We are excited to bring ONAR's innovative marketing strategies to help iQSTEL shape a brand that truly resonates with investors, customers, and partners alike."
Key Objectives of the Partnership:
Enhanced Market Visibility: Establish a strong, cohesive brand identity that resonates across iQSTEL's core sectors—telecommunications, fintech, EV, and AI services.
Institutional Appeal: Craft a refined messaging strategy to attract institutional investors as iQSTEL moves towards its Nasdaq uplisting.
Maximizing Shareholder Value: Strengthen investor confidence by clearly communicating iQSTEL's growth potential, including its projected doubling of revenues by 2024.
As iQSTEL continues to expand and scale its operations globally, this rebranding initiative will be a cornerstone of the company's efforts to align its identity with its ambitious goals, positioning iQSTEL for future success in an increasingly competitive market.
