Bobby Blair, Chief Executive Officer of Multimedia Platforms, commented, "Upon going public in early 2015, we set forth a strategy to acquire the most prominent publications in the LGBT community. We successfully acquired three top global brands providing news and entertainment to the LGBTQ community and their following. These brands consisted of some of the industry's most viewed and read social media channels, websites and print publications in the world. Today, we own five publications encapsulating a readership of nearly 7.5 million, 4.8 million unique visitors annually and over 200,000 social media followers. These valuable assets including industry-leading content and influential content creators in the LGBT community allowed us the opportunity to launch WiRLD, the first global LGBT digital media hub. Since launching in beta on February 1, 2016, we have continued to attract users in the LGBT community as well as globally recognized advertising partners in the travel, hospitality and auto industries. WiRLD is ever-evolving with new features and benefits for our users and advertisers. As we look out into 2016, we have set forth a number of milestones that will allow us to continue building our brand and following in the LGBT community."
