“Sign is an outstanding media outlet for our industry and it’s an honor to be recognized by my peers," Bauer said. "I am fortunate to be surrounded by an extraordinary team at Pure Play Media Europe GmbH. We have a great staff that gives a 110 percent every single day. I’m also lucky to be able work with top-notch studios that create and produce such solid products.”
“Tobias has an exceptional business mind, is a strong leader and a key asset in the Pure Play Media organization," Pure Play Media CEO Richard Arnold said. "His efforts, day-in and day-out, have played an important part in the early success of our European office. I’m very pleased to see Sign take note of his achievements.”
