AMITYVILLE, NY, Feb. 19, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Iconic Brands, Inc. (OTC PINK: ICNB) is pleased to announce that the company applied for OTCQB Venture Marketplace up-listing on February 15th, 2019.

Richard DeCicco, CEO stated, "The up-listing to the OTCQB is one more step in our continued process to build value in Iconic Brands, and position our company for opportunity. To be eligible for OTCQB, a company must be current in their financial reporting, undergo an annual verification and management certification process. The OTCQB increases transparency, reporting standards, management certification and compliance requirements, and accordingly, many more broker dealers trade stocks on the OTCQB. The goal is to ultimately seek a listing on more senior exchange such as NASDAQ or NYSE.”
