Friendable Inc. (FDBL) Providing More Revenue-Generating Opportunities to Independent Artists in 2022

 

• Friendable completed the acquisition of Artist Republik on January 4, 2022, with the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 10 offering an overview of that transaction
• The acquisition of Artist Republik in conjunction with Friendable’s flagship product Fan Pass Live artist platform allows for independent artists to create, perform, produce, and distribute their music without private representation
• President and CTO Dean Rositano was recently invited to join the Rolling Stone Culture Council, an invitation-only opportunity that sheds an additional positive light on the company within the music industry

One of the first reports in 2022 from Friendable (OTC: FDBL), a mobile technology and marketing company focused on identifying products, services, and brand opportunities with mass-market potential and scalability, was the successful acquisition of music production, distribution, marketing, and management platform Artist Republik on January 4. 

The acquisition covers all of Artist Republik’s revenue, customers, back-end processes, trademarks, internet domains and other aspects necessary to carry on the business. Friendable also entered into a consulting agreement with Artist Republik’s founder, Nick Cianfaglione. The entire Asset Purchase Agreement can be found as an Exhibit with the company’s SEC 8-K filing from December 23, 2021.

Artist Republik is a subscription service designed to allow artists worldwide to take control of their music careers through networking, centralized sources, and AI-based management tools. By adding Artist Republik’s platform to Friendable’s flagship product, Fan Pass Live, the company has effectively made it possible for independent artists to manage their careers from production to performance to distribution. Artists will now be able to distribute their music on streaming platforms, receive royalties from these platforms, and create a marketplace where users can purchase beats, enhance audio production, and purchase access to curated playlists.

By acquiring Artist Republik, Friendable, and the Fan Pass Live artist platform are now able to offer new skillsets and benefits to artist members (https://ibn.fm/ZrP5W), including:

• Distribution (one-time or subscription-based) – Artists can now release their music on all major streaming platforms
• Press release promotion – Submit a draft for a blog outlet post on the artist’s page
• Spotify playlisting – Submit your playlist to curators to grow artist streaming
• Elite reviews – Artists can receive feedback on their music from notable industry artists
• Custom ARTSTLNKS – A single link where artists can promote their music, merchandise, shows, and anything else they want
• Instagram promotion – Artists can grow their audience on social media by submitting their content for placed promotion
• ‘Grow with us’ features – Spotify and Soundcloud growth marketing
• Mastering – Artists can get songs mixed and/or mastered
• Sound store – Artists can purchase or sell sounds, beats, sample packs, and more
• FeaturedX – Artists book a guest feature, co-write, midi composition, or live instrumental tracking for their next single. FeaturedX is a service that requires artists to sign up to be an artist/creator on the platform
• Biz resources – Blog promotion management, playlist curation, Instagram curation, elite reviewer, and audio engineer.

The acquisition will help Friendable expand its reach into the music distribution space, a growing market worldwide. In 2020, the global music distribution services sector was valued at $911.87 million, and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.2%, resulting in a market value of $1683.08 million by 2030 (https://ibn.fm/8H0Vj). A substantial part of this growth is attributed to the need for online music distribution during the pandemic – the market was able to integrate new ways of monetizing music consumption during this time, circumventing the negative impacts other markets felt.

Since its launch in July 2020, Fan Pass Live has become a major player in the artist streaming world, driven by its unique business model and the unrelentless passion of brothers Robert A. Rositano, Jr. (“CEO”) and Dean Rositano (President and CTO) for artists and their music. Dean Rositano was recently selected to be a part of the Rolling Stone Culture Council – an invitation-only network of leaders on the cutting edge of what’s new in culture, community, and all things associated with the Rolling Stone brand. The move can further strengthen Friendable’s visibility and reach in the market.

“Having been a touring musician in my teenage years and continuing to play music as my hobby, the Rolling Stone brand has always been something I have admired, followed, and truly coveted as an industry staple,” Dean Rositano said, describing the experience (https://ibn.fm/jaD4g). “Now to be a part of a community that identifies with this very brand, while being a founding member and CTO of Fan Pass Live, it’s kind of unbelievable to see my name associated with Rolling Stone, but it’s amazing and exciting to have such an opportunity that aligns with everything we have developed and what we are all about, supporting music artists.”

Payments Solution Innovator GreenBox POS (NASDAQ: GBOX) Set to Build on Growth Momentum from 2021, Announces UK Fintech Acquisition along with Stunning Results for New Subsidiary

 

• GreenBox POS is an advanced blockchain technology payment solutions provider focused on expanding its FinTech portfolio through strategic acquisitions in the United States and internationally
• The company acquired key assets during 2021 that demonstrate its commitment to expand its balance payment solutions for point-of-sale retail as well as e-commerce opportunities
• GreenBox announced this month that it has reached a binding agreement to acquire a licensed payment institution in the United Kingdom to further its debit and credit card payment processing abilities
• One of the company’s subsidiaries, ChargeSavvy, further highlighted the success of GreenBox’s strategy by announcing that it recorded a record 166 percent increase in its retail division’s book of business during the fourth quarter
• GreenBox has increased its funding options for repurchasing its common shares as a boon to shareholders and a display of the company’s confidence in its opportunities for 2022

Proprietary blockchain security and token technology-focused FinTech company GreenBox POS (NASDAQ: GBOX) is entering 2022 with expectations for another breakout year for customized payment solutions following successful bank and acquisition building campaigns during recent months. 

“Strategic acquisitions are already slated for 2022, so you all can expect to see a lot more of that in the year to come,” GreenBox’s Chief Operating Officer Vanessa Luna told investors during a corporate update call Dec. 9 (https://ibn.fm/fRMqX). “We’ll continue expanding our licensing and broadening our network and processing capabilities.”

“Accumulating an array of technologies is vital to our long-term growth strategy, as GreenBox further progresses toward global expansion,” Chief Business Development Officer Pouya Moghavem stated. 

GreenBox’s July acquisition of point-of-sale company ChargeSavvy was GreenBox’s first major purchase that entailed an integration of the team, culture and operations of its new subsidiary, and the transaction granted ChargeSavvy a strong merchant client portfolio and point of sale technology, poising the division to grow into new categories where the same technology can be applied. 

Subsequently, ChargeSavvy recorded an average 166 percent increase YOY in its retail division’s book of business during the fourth quarter of 2021 — the best quarter in its nine-year history, according to the company (https://ibn.fm/mKQ3H).

GreenBox is working to strengthening its standing with Visa and Signature Bank by establishing a well-balanced portfolio between point-of-sale retailers and e-commerce, onboarding low-risk merchants and eventually more high-margin clients, Luna and President of Global Payments Ken Haller told GreenBox’s investors during the December update call. 

That will in turn create opportunities for monetization through NFTs, card issuing, bank as a service, and blockchain closed loop systems. 

“Earlier in the year we purchased a payment processing company in Boston, allowing us to place merchant accounts on our own BIN. BIN is a high-level license in the U.S. that gives us great control and flexibility in onboarding merchants,” Haller said. Luna highlighted an exclusive joint venture in American Samoa that serves as a model market for FinTech payment solutions for island-type ecosystems around the world. 

As further evidence of GreenBox’s self-assurance in its growth strategy and pending opportunities, the company announced Jan. 6 a “substantial increase in the funds allocated for the immediate repurchase of the Company’s common shares, in the initial sum of $10M” (https://ibn.fm/V2drr).

The company previously repurchased about 800,000 shares during the second half of 2021.

Hollywall Entertainment Inc. (HWAL) Using Vast Music, TV, Computer Platform Catalog, to Build Networks, Revenues, and Social Equality

 

• Hollywall Entertainment Inc. is a technology and broadcasting company using an enormous variety of resources under its corporate umbrella to extend wireless and broadband networks and related services across the country
• Hollywall is dedicated to extending its networks to underserved or unserved communities, with a vision of improving access to technology and thereby improving socio-economic equality for opportunities and achievements 
• The company’s holdings include the rights to a catalog of over 17,500 master recordings performed by music legends ranging from Ray Charles to Rod Stewart
• The music catalog is also being used as a means of entering the blockchain NFT space, which has enjoyed an astronomical rise in market cap during the past couple years, monetizing digital ownership of featured art

Former NBA All-Star point guard and pro basketball coach Lionel Hollins, whose most recent professional victory was as assistant coach with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020 when he won an NBA championship ring for the second time, climbed the ladder of success from a childhood in Las Vegas where all his clothes were patched and oversized, and he was “a vegetarian before it was in vogue” out of simple necessity, as he told The Spectrum a few years earlier. 

Perhaps a testament to the theory that education is the great socio-economic equalizer, particularly when it included “cross-class friendships” that bridge social strata through ordinary peer exchanges to create achievement equity (https://ibn.fm/ZHzxn), Hollins left a neighborhood where “white people didn’t exist” to attend junior college at Dixie College in Southern Utah, about 120 miles away, where he “was the only black person on the basketball team … the only black person at the college … the only black in the city,” thus beginning a storied career driven by his ambition and the help of others who mentored him, he told the newspaper (https://ibn.fm/jqJyQ).

It’s the type of story that resonates in harmony with the vision of the telecommunications and broadcasting company Hollywall Entertainment (OTC: HWAL), which is using a vast catalog of music, film, television, software and game library rights to not only build smart city, fiber network and entertainment investment profits throughout the United States, but to also create broadband access equity for many of the nation’s most vulnerable and underserved communities. 

“There is some evidence that broadband initiatives for unserved and underserved areas increase broadband adoption and can increase labor market participation, with larger effects for people living in rural areas and for women, especially those with college educations,” The University of Wisconsin’s County Health Rankings & Roadmaps program noted last year (https://ibn.fm/GAI50).

“The rich nations must use their vast resources of wealth to develop the underdeveloped, school the unschooled, and feed the unfed,” HWAL President and CEO Darnell Sutton has stated in repeating civil rights pioneer the Rev. Martin Luther King’s 1964 Nobel Peace Prize lecture (https://ibn.fm/BvJmH). “Let us heed to this time-honored clarion call, as the challenge yet remains for all to consider coming together and embrace one another in peaceful cooperation … allowing our newfound cooperation to shine a bright light on a new path for a coming and future brilliant generation.”

Hollywall’s asset portfolio includes copyrights, legal rights, trademarks, and master recordings of more than 17,500 songs, with a library of artists that includes Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Dolly Parton, Frank Sinatra, and The Who.

Through its new wholly owned subsidiary, HW Vision, the company offers state-of-the-art services such as 5G and fiber network installation, affordable high-speed internet access, telehealth, nationwide unlimited talk, text and data cellphone plans, and video broadcasting.

As a company deeply invested in telecom infrastructure, Hollywall is well positioned to capitalize on the expanding 5G infrastructure market as wireless networks evolve in the United States (https://ibn.fm/JTCGX).

5G-speed networks will better facilitate Hollywall’s key telecom initiatives, such as fostering entrepreneurial and economic development opportunities for minority business enterprises (“MBEs”) through rural and urban wireless and broadband telecommunications network infrastructure, and also helping farmers maintain and increase sustainable practices using digital tools in agriculturally rich rural areas. 

Hollywall is also using its music catalog to enter the world of blockchain technology and non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”), which has a market cap of about $31.4 billion, according to a recent report by Blockworks (https://ibn.fm/cpnJV) rising astronomically from about $80 million just a couple years ago (https://ibn.fm/3rrJA).
