agree  Chris Hopley: I would go for "outlook" rather than "look to the future", but that's just a personal preference.

  -> For me, ‘outlook’ refers more to their appearance. ‘Look’ seems more like a vision or attitude. I guess they client should choose which.
agree  vixen: With..., we are happy to announce..

\"optimism to the future\" rather than \"positive view of the future\"

might be better
