Steve Smith, the Company's CEO said:

"This is a true inflection point for SharkReach, as we will ultimately have regional hubs in Los Angeles, Boston and Atlanta. This is an established, elite Tier 1, digital agency with multiple. long-standing relationships in key industry verticals.

With this Boston agency, along with our acquisition of Mastermind Involvement Marketing, SharkReach will be in excess of a $16 Million annual revenue enterprise looking back at 2015 numbers (based upon internal unaudited financial information provided by Mastermind and this target company in connection with the Mastermind Merger Agreement and the target offer letter respectively) with more than 120 employees. Post-closing on both acquisitions, we will have 9 of the Fortune 100 under long term client agreements.

We will be able to offer influencer marketing solutions to our existing and new clients all within the SharkReach enterprise. We are rapidly becoming the largest influencer marketing company on the planet and as our name implies, we will continue to expand our "Reach" into other digital creative services such as digital video content production and distribution.

Together with their existing patented reporting platform and SharkReach's social tools, we have an unmatched offering for brands truly looking to innovate. Several of these brands have already approached me for an introduction to the executive team"

Millennials demand exacting standards in the products and services that are essential to satisfying their social conscience and personal needs. They are the first of several generations to come that will veer away from traditional media. They do NOT watch television, and they do not trust brands and commercials. Their purchasing decisions are impacted by the individuals, friends, and celebrities that they follow on Social Media and YouTube.

Historically, and in this order, television, radio, magazine and newspaper advertising were the ways to reach clients. To reach more clients and to increase sales, Celebrity Endorsements were added to Brands to increase the effectiveness of these traditional media outlets.

Sponsored Social Media… Influencer Marketing, now sits atop the field!

In a recent report of the most effective marketing ratings, Influencer Marketing, in absolute ratings, beat Celebrity Endorsements, Television, Radio, Magazine and Newspaper advertising.
