Hi! 

Feedback from me: Wow! that is a nice report. It might have taken time to compile but it's very appreciated to have this overview of what is happening.

If you could (you = someone, not just Ivana) do such an overview once or twice a month (once being already awesome), I think it can help redynamising the promo team and show that stuff happens.

Keep on rocking!

Cheers,
Olivier
