CALGARY, ALBERTA–(Marketwired – Nov. 21, 2016) – DeepMarkit Corp., (“DeepMarkit” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE:MKT), a producer of videogame marketing solutions, is pleased to provide an update on its business activities. The Company’s marketing and promotions platform, FetchBot™ was released in beta in August. Since then, the Company has worked to generate beta users of the platform in order to gather feedback on user experience and functionality. Based on this feedback, a number of changes have been implemented to achieve the proper product fit for a large and diverse audience of business operators. FetchBot™ is designed as a do it yourself platform for the creation of promotional and marketing campaigns using customizable videogames combined with templates and automation to deliver and manage the campaign from the initial delivery to consumers to the final prize or incentive claim and everything in-between. The Company intends to promote the direct sale of FetchBot™ campaigns through a program of targeted advertising and social media.
The FetchBot™ platform is a sophisticated marketing tool which also has tremendous white label potential for agencies and other B2B and B2C platforms in the e-commerce ecosystem. The FetchBot™ platform represents a powerful value-added service and natural extension of these business offerings.
This important new sales channel is reflected in the recently announced MOU entered into with iClick Interactive Asia Limited (news release dated October 17, 2016). This was the Company’s first step into the Asian market for FetchBot™. We regard the Asian market as having equal or greater potential than that of North America. The Company is pursuing partnerships and API integrations for the distribution of FetchBot™ within both the North American and Asian markets.
The Company is developing multi-language capabilities within the FetchBot™ platform to service the Asian markets and is making changes to both its sales and pricing models to provide flexibility within this larger and more diverse market.
To advance its presence in the Asian markets, DeepMarkit is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding MOU with Philippines based online marketing company, Provizion Solutions Inc. (“PSI”). Under the terms of this MOU, PSI will work to establish the sale of FetchBot™ promotional campaigns in the Philippines’ market. As a re-seller of the FetchBot™ product, DeepMarkit and PSI will negotiate a revenue share which reflects the relative contributions of the parties.
