FORT LAUDERDALE, FL –Multimedia Platforms, LLC (MMP) today announced that the company has expanded its Agenda: Florida Edition distribution footprint to include six new urban areas and over 100 new points of access. This brings the distribution outlet count to 238 places where readers can pick up the latest issue of the Agenda: Florida Edition newspaper. Bobby Blair, MMP’s CEO, revealed that the company has added staff in both the creative and marketing departments to support this rapid expansion. MMP has published the Agenda newspaper for five years and has grown from a small, local readership to a statewide print following and global readership online. The company is targeting national distribution within a few months, based on its established expansion model.
Edited by award-winning author and publisher, Richard Hack, the Agenda newspaper covers both national and local news relevant to the LGBT community and includes editorials and commentary by community leaders that help readers relate the news to their own lives. The National Agenda will base its platform on the news of global importance, supplemented in each region by local news contributed by local reporters.
LGBT Entertainment Industry leader, Guy Magazine, focuses on social media and entertainment trends. Its website, GuyMag.net is fast becoming the top portal for LGBT community members to discover the most popular places to meet, greet, eat, and dance. The recently launched social media plugin feature allows advertisers the ability to reach deeply into the social media networks of their friends and followers, and is under further development to include many powerful features such as mobile proximity offers (flash specials for those nearby) and the ability to connect with other members in the immediate vicinity. This is to be powered by the world’s largest social media business directory, now under development, serving over 200 cities, worldwide, and nearly 10,000 businesses.
“We have been amazed by the positive response we have received every step of the way,” said Blair. “I am convinced that the LGBT community is not only ready to take advantage of the opportunities MMP is bringing, but may even consider that these technological advantages are long overdue. We feel we have a green light to go full-speed ahead in developing advanced communication tools for this market,” Blair added.
MMP is in process of becoming a publicly traded company.
