Xhibit Affliate Signs Digital Marketing Agreement With Punch Monkeys To Manage Digital Marketing For Idol Winner Jordin Sparks
TEMPE, Ariz., Nov. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- FlyReply Corp, a wholly owned subsidiary of Xhibit Corp. (OTCQB: XBTC) ("Xhibit" or "the Company), has signed a digital marketing services agreement with Punch Monkeys, LLC, a company which manages fan engagement on behalf of American Idol winner Jordin Sparks. The agreement provides for FlyReply™ to provide comprehensive digital marketing and social media marketing strategies for Ms. Sparks.
Jordin Sparks is a multi-platinum recording artist, songwriter, humanitarian and actress. At the age of 17, Jordin won the sixth season of American Idol, becoming the youngest winner in American Idol history and remains the most recent female to win American Idol. Her self-titled debut album was released in 2007, which spawned two top-ten singles on the US Billboard Hot 100—"Tattoo" and "No Air." The album sold more than two million copies worldwide. In 2010, Jordin partnered with her brother P.J. to launch a charitable initiative: "I'm M.A.D. Are You?" (M.A.D. stands for making a difference). Jordin made her acting debut in 2012, snagging the lead role in her first feature film "Sparkle" which starred the late Whitney Houston.
FlyReply™ believes that its social media platform will enable Ms. Sparks to connect more directly with her fan base and build stronger social relationships through her digital communications.
