Description:
Vector 1 Marketing is a full service marketing firm with a emerging technology division that is currently seeking a first round investment of $5,000,000 for a new social media app. This app is a combination of Instagram, Snapchat, and Jurassic World fueled by celebrity fantasim. We have devised a way for national and Local brands to engage our app's end users in such a unique way that the end users will not even realize that they are being advertised to.
This is how it works. Like Jurassic World, the users are notified that a new celebrity image is near by. Once the user has collected all of that particular celebrity they will unlock the selfie portion of the app so they will then be able to take a selfie with the collected celebrity using augmented reality. Once the user has uploaded the selfie to the social media portion of our app they will then unlock the brands advertisement.
Here is an example. Tom Hanks would be what we consider a legacy character who recently released a film that was shown exclusively on Apple TV. Our users would collect every character Tom Hanks has played from Bosom Buddies to his most recent role in the film Greyhound. Once the user has all of the characters, they take the selfie and upload, unlocking a 3 month subscription to Apple TV.
Led by our CTO Peter Littlefield, who was previously employed by Intel as one of their lead programmers, we have begun developing this app and have a prototype with a provisional patent to show. Additionally, we have engaged our contacts at Netflix who has expressed interest in doing a docuseries over a 5 year period, 6 episodes a year, following our journey from conception to the eventual sale of the app if it doesn't go public.
Because of the opportunity with Netflix, we will be able to do something that no other social media app has done and that is launch this app nationally. With the right funding we could even potentially launch everywhere Netflix is available.
We have already been endorsed by a number of celebs, we have the right executive team in place and are poised for success. J.U.I.C.E. (Join Us In Conquering Earth)
