LAKE WORTH, FL--(Marketwired - Mar 2, 2015) - TOCCA LIFE HOLDINGS, INC. (OTCBB: TLIF) -- TOCCA Life Holdings, Inc.'s President and CEO, Tyler Cornell, announced today that a letter of intent from TVA Media Group's Jeffery Goddard, was a go. Signed on Thursday, February 26, the team is in the final stages to ink an agreement for a national multi-media marketing campaign featuring a hybrid public awareness-direct response format that promotes and supplies product for early detection methods of the disease of addiction aka The Other Cancer Called Addiction.
TVA's Media Blitz for TOCCALife.com includes 25,000 airings totaling at least 119 airings in every major market nationwide (the top 210 Nielsen‐ranked DMAs nationwide on Cable, Broadcast, Satellite), onboard airlines and/or airports, as well as Talk Show bookings, News Features in hundreds of newspapers, radio, internet, social media, web videos, DVDs, trade show loop tapes. TVA Media Group CEO Mr. Goddard expanded, "Having 6 children of my own, TOCCA Life's cause had me vested from the beginning. We plan to do our best to spin this into a self perpetuating media campaign. We want to create a campaign that pushes TOCCA Life's annual media budget over the $50 Million mark, like we have done with so many other leading campaigns, as they join our portfolio of Fortune 100 clients."
The initial campaign, valued at up to $3.5 Million, will launch the TOCCALife.com Product line of preventative, early detection and sobriety tools that go hand and hand with The Other Cancer Called Addiction and are used professionally at their facilities. Targeting nearly 1 in 4 American families who are directly affected by addiction and the epidemic that has been growing while new designer drugs and recent legislation legalizing marijuana enter the arena, TOCCALife.com is pressing the issue that addiction is a disease that is not the fault of families or addicts, and should not be frowned upon. It should instead be diagnosed and treated because everyone deserves a second chance on life, especially those struck by disease.
Cornell stated, "Growing up on the East End of Long Island, I was naïve. I thought hangovers were the punch line to a great night out or a popular movie until I walked into a detox center and saw the horrific sites firsthand. After getting involved, I realized so many of the disease's symptoms are swept under the rug or misunderstood by families and the community. This only furthers an addict's demise into addiction, usually resulting in hospitals, institutions or death. It just doesn't have to be that way. Similar to cancer and other diseases, early detection is critical to surviving the disease."
The details of the transaction were not disclosed in full, however TVA Group was so supportive of TOCCA's cause, a stock and royalty deal has been offered to entice TOCCA to become part of TVA Media Groups portfolio of clients. Cornell explained, "TVA Media Group has been extremely helpful in arranging such a campaign for us. Having founded companies with former HSN Direct, CEO and original Shark Tank Investor, Kevin Harrington, I know the power of TV and believe the $50 Million mark in media buys this campaign can self generate is just the tip of the iceberg for TOCCA Life and its cause. We look forward to working closely with Jeffrey (Goddard) to maximizing our potential through his expertise and educating the country about the disease."
