LOMOTIF LAUNCHES FREE TESLA MODEL S GIVEAWAY AT OKEECHOBEE MUSIC AND ARTS FESTIVAL

FAIRPORT, N.Y., March 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Vinco Ventures (Nasdaq: BBIG)  and ZASH Global Media and Entertainment through their Joint Venture, ZVV Media Partners, announced today that Lomotif's digital entertainment network LoMoTV has joined with Insomniac to live stream the Okeechobee Music and Arts Festival in Sunshine Grove, Florida March 3-6.

Headliners this year are expected to include Rezz, Tame Impala, Megan Thee Stallion and Porter Robinson. Two Feet, Denzel Curry, GRiZ, Jungle, Eprom, Gary Clark Jr, Troyboi, Ashnikko, Four Set, Caribou, The Glitch Mob, Washed Out, Flying Lotus, Clozee and Mt. Joy also top the list of performers, along with dozens more.

Lomotif expects to generate a large audience for the event, deploying its blended media, cross-platform distribution strategy to stream on additional platforms including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Twitch. Vinco and Lomotif will be deploying technology solutions from AdRizer for the first time since the acquisition closed, to promote the #LoMoHunt and audience attendance at the Okeechobee Music and Arts Festival.

The live stream of Okeechobee follows the momentum LoMoTV received from its recent coverage of Shaq's Fun House during The Big Game weekend and the 2021 Vegas Electric Daisy Carnival where it featured Lomotif special guests Lil Nas X and The Kid Laroi, among other recent LomoTV events and promotions, generating hundreds of millions of hashtags and views across social media platforms around the world.

"Insomniac and Lomotif couldn't be more excited with the impressive results from the first concerts we streamed live together," said Ted Farnsworth of ZVV Media Partners. "Lomotif is one of the top short form video platforms in the world and we continue to focus on user acquisition and engagement internationally and domestically."

"We were gratified by the early results of Lomotif from EDC Vegas, which has led to a great relationship between Insomniac and Lomotif as a data partner," said Pasquale Rotella, founder and CEO, Insomniac.

During the festival, Lomotif will be giving away a 2021 Tesla Model S car to the winner. The car will be located at the front entrance of the Okeechobee Music and Arts Festival for all patrons and fans to see or view online at LoMoTV. The giveaway is open to U.S. residents only and participants do not need to attend the festival. Visit www.lomogiveaway.com for instructions, rules and other details.
