"Our integration activities are on track, with cost saving synergies already exceeding expectations.

"Bringing together creators and brands in a safe environment has been core to Vocal's vision since its inception in December 2016. With the completion of the replatforming, the introduction of the $10 monthly subscription option and the integration of Seller's Choice and Vocal's client portfolios, Jerrick's flagship product is poised for great expansion."
Additionally, the Company announced the completion of an additional $1MM in financing secured by its collection of archival media assets, including acquired artwork, photographs and media memorabilia.
