(firmenpresse) - FORT LAUDERDALE, FL -- (Marketwired) -- 01/21/15 -- Multimedia Platforms Inc. (MMP) (OTCQB: EAHCD) today announced it has signed a binding letter of intent to acquire Columbia FunMap, Inc. (FunMaps), a 33-year-old LGBT travel and leisure publishing company, delivering local and regional maps, information and advertising to more than forty (40) key North American cities. FunMaps distributes over 1.5 million map guides yearly, to destination cities including Atlanta, Chicago, Ft. Lauderdale, Los Angeles, Miami, Montreal, New York, Orlando, San Francisco, Toronto, Vancouver, BC, Washington, DC, and many more.
"This acquisition adds an attractive complementary publication to our suite of proven products and, even more importantly, extends MMP's footprint into FunMaps' established markets throughout United States and Canada," explained Bobby Blair, CEO of MMP. "In FunMaps we not only acquire the print publication, with a readership of over five (5) million per year, but also the robust online directory/city guide, Gayosphere.com," added Blair.
FunMaps' award-winning publisher and CEO, Alan H. Beck, will remain with the company for a period of at least three years, and will assist MMP in integrating FunMaps into the infrastructure and help to lead the public company.
"FunMaps' online city guide, Gayosphere.com, is unique as an unbiased travel and hospitality business source. As part of the soon-to-launch MMP Social Media network, we will become a significant part of a comprehensive LGBT social media network," said Alan Beck, CEO of FunMaps. "And, as a nationally certified LGBT Corporate Supplier of the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, we also bring our own legacy of established advertising relationships with blue-chip companies that will benefit the whole group," Beck added.
Multimedia Platforms Inc. has also identified several other established and profitable media companies that each will bring a wealth of assets, revenue and strategic market advantages to MMP, as well as profiting from the alliance in their own core businesses. The company will announce acquisitions as agreements are signed.
