 Michael Burdeny is the Global Head of Marketing at Blue Diamond Growers. He can be reached at mburdeny@bdgrowers.com.

RESEARCH STRATEGY
We were unable to identify the marketing executive with the exact title of president or VP marketing for Blue Diamond Growers. This is because the company does not seem to have a president or VP of marketing. Instead, this company has the head of marketing and marketing director as senior marketing executives. Hence, we have provided details on the Global Head of Marketing for Blue Diamond Growers. For smaller companies having less than 50 employees, including Big Fork Brands, Boyd Specialties LLC, and Field Trip, we have provided contact details for their CEO. 

We were able to find the names titles, and emails of the identified executives using Hunter, Voila Norbert, SignalHire, and Adapt.io. However, these websites were unable to uncover the direct phone numbers for any of the identified contacts. In an attempt to find the phone numbers of the identified contacts, we scoured through the company websites, however, this information was not available on the official websites. We then looked for the direct phone numbers in the company's annual reports, if they had published any. However, this approach was not helpful either. We also looked at each of the identified contact's LinkedIn profile hoping to find their phone numbers but weren't successful. 

We then turned to company/employee profile websites such as Crunchbase, ZoomInfo, SignalHire, RocketReach, among others but these websites didn't provide phone numbers of the identified contacts in their free trials and we were able to find the direct phone numbers for only three of the identified contacts. As a last resort, we ran a general web scan hoping to uncover the phone numbers of the remaining executives from press releases, blog posts, etc. However, due to privacy reasons, this information was not publicly available. Hence, we have provided phone numbers for the companies instead.

RESEARCH STRATEGY
We were unable to identify the marketing executive with the exact title of president or VP marketing for Spangler Candy, MV Sport, and Wild & Wolf. We scoured through the company websites and publications to find these executives. However, after this approach was unsuccessful, we turned to their LinkedIn pages and scanned the profiles of their employees on LinkedIn but could not find the president or VP of marketing. We then turned to websites such as Crunchbase, Bloomberg, ZoomInfo, SignalHire, RocketReach, etc. that provide details on a company's employees but these websites did not uncover any employees with these titles. We also ran a deep press scan to find these executives in news and media reports, blog posts, and press releases but this approach wasn't helpful either. This might be because these companies currently don't have a president or VP of marketing. Spangler Candy's previous VP of marketing has been promoted as the VP of e-commerce and IT. Currently, Evan Brock is the Director of Marketing in Spangler Management Committee. Michael Gaudioso
 is the Director of Marketing at MV Sport and Emily Wallis is the Head of Global Marketing at Wild & Wolf. Hence, we have provided details on these executives instead. 

We were able to find the names and titles of the required executives using the official company websites, annual reports, and LinkedIn, among others. For smaller companies or family-owned businesses for which a president or VP of marketing could not be identified, we have provided contact details for their CEO or owner. For each of the identified executive, we reviewed their LinkedIn profile to confirm they are still working in the required roles at the assigned companies. We then provided the emails of these executives using Hunter, Voila Norbert, SignalHire, and Adapt.io. However, these websites were unable to uncover the direct phone numbers for any of the identified contacts.

Company Contacts - Part Four

Frank Azor is the vice president of Alienware and Alienware's company address is 14591 SW 120th St, Miami, FL 33186. Unfortunately, not all the contact details of company executives were available on the public domain. On the attached spreadsheet on the tab "ESports" in rows 17-30, the information obtained can be found. 

 EXAMPLES OF COMPANY CONTACTSAlienware's vice president and general manager is Frank Azor and he can be reached via the email address frank_azor@alienware.com.

Element Gaming's CEO is Wallace Santos and he can be reached via the email address wallace@maingear.com.
Highlife's founder is Peter Street-Phillips and he can be reached via the email address info@highlife-gaming.com.

RESEARCH STRATEGYTo find the company contacts and contact details for the companies listed, our first strategy was to look for information on the official company websites and annual reports. We aimed to find the contact person, email address and company location. This strategy worked to a certain extent as we were able to find the contact details for some executives. However, there was no information on their email addresses or their phone numbers. For smaller companies or family-owned businesses for which a president or VP of marketing could not be identified, we have provided contact details for their founder or owner.

Our second strategy was to search for the LinkedIn profile of the company executives. Our aim behind this strategy was to review the official profile of these executives and find their email address and contact details. However, this strategy was not successful as the executives did not mention their contact information. Also, not all executives had LinkedIn profiles. 

Our third strategy was to look for information on company and employee-profile websites such as Crunchbase, ZoomInfo, Hunter.io, RocketReach, among others. These websites didn't provide (personal) phone numbers of the identified contacts in their free trials and we were only able to find the direct phone number for one contact. Therefore, the company contact numbers were entered as an alternative. We were able to find the email address of the contacts on the website of Hunter.io.
