Beauty Product – Whole Plant Hemp Extraction: Our Full Entourage Beauty line, focused on the “Full Entourage Effect”, which will contain a staggering 120+ cannabinoids present in the products in this line, restorative beauty products will be an exciting new category with CBGA and CBDA dominant products. Brand creation and product design is underway and we expect to announce late 2020 the go to market lineup of products.
  4. SponsorCoin Platform: Development has slowed due to capital restraints, but the Server and Web UX/UI has been completed and in testing. Mobile app development is expected to resume in Q4, 2020. Major system enhancements include:
    • multi-level influence tracking and SponsorCoin compensation at all levels of marketing.

We are looking to develop the world’s best private brands in the industry, including Vodka, Bourbon and hard seltzer with a touch of wellness by infusing the line with electrolytes. We are targeting first quarter of 2021. Our initial conversations with large distributors and retailers have been incredibly positive.

Myles Bartholomew, CEO of SponsorsOne, added: “We have been getting a large number of inquiries from existing and prospective clients and saw there was a need to update them and the market-at-large as to where we are in our technology and brand development sectors. We hope that this update will provide an informative snapshot of the current status of these important initiatives, which we will update from time to time as the situation warrants.

He continued saying: “We are pivoting away from selling our digital marketing as a service, to using the power of our digital influence engine to fuel our own brands. SponsorsOne will develop its own proprietary brands across multiple industries and all will benefit from the efficiency of its shared technology platform: SponsorsOne. We are continuing to focus on Wellness, Spirits, and Hemp.”
