The Company’s ongoing actions have built a strong brand reputation and alongside its upgraded features, these integrated offerings have resulted in a surge of new artist interest and activity, all needing continued attention to monetize and convert FeaturedX to other 360 service offerings
The Company is clarifying its July 13, 2022, press release to clarify that the revenue reported is the value of total orders and not the total collected amount.
CAMPBELL, CA, July 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire -- Friendable Inc. (OTC: FDBL) (the “Company”), a mobile technology and marketing company, today provides an update on the first six-months following its acquisition of Artist Republik and FeaturedX brands/offerings on January 4, 2022.
Following the acquisition, management successfully completed a phase II upgrade of the FeaturedX brand, with FeaturedX being the main factor in achieving 270 total gross orders having a value of $169,865. Approximately 17% of the total has been collected to date.
The FeaturedX platform was originally designed to have pending orders between artists requesting the required music service and artists providing that music service, rather than requiring the requesting artist to pay upfront. While pending orders will still require formal acceptance by the artists prior to revenues being booked and reported, the Company has now improved this process by requiring upfront payments from all artists requesting the FeaturedX services. This cash will then be collected and booked or refunded based on the fulfilling artist or artists’ agreement to fulfill and complete the services agreement.
The FeaturedX offering has shown significant traction in building a revenue ramp that adds to the existing base and must now be met with additional technology upgrades and features that continue to close the purchase loop between providing artists and their ordering counterparts, which in turn increases the booked and reportable revenue for the Company.
Key to the continued successful growth of the FeaturedX brand is overhauling the communication tools between artists and the Company, as well as between the “featuring artist” and the artist interested in purchasing their services. The business model brings music artists seeking other music artists to be featured in a song or video, as well as graphic designers the Company has curated to provide logo, merch and other promotional items.

“It’s been our mission to provide a full 360 offering for all independent music artists and our team is convinced we have just that, and much more, from music distribution, music writing and video collaboration, design services, promotional materials, merch designs/collections, and e-commerce storefronts. It’s all here in one place and let’s not forget about the ‘Live’ with Fan Pass Live, which brings the virtual live event scheduling, ticket sales, tips, backstage action/content, merch promo/sales and fan interaction with revenue sharing for artists across the board; that’s what we call a 360 offering,” said Robert A. Rositano Jr., CEO, Friendable, Inc.
“This said, it’s all about finding the right offering that leads each artist through the door, which is happening with Artist Republik and FeaturedX, providing the Company with a roadmap of services that connect with each artist at a specific point in their journey with us. FeaturedX has become a lead generation tool allowing additional services to be promoted and offered, as well as building a revenue ramp that adds to the existing base. We have seen the formula and it’s all about timing of these additional services being offered and it’s typically based on the previous product/service purchased and needs of each individual artist at that time. I couldn’t be more proud and grateful to have such a dedicated and caring team. I believe we are on the correct path and it’s all about staying the course, building revenue, keeping the debt capital out or to a minimum and moving our valuation up now that our past restructure debt is behind us. We will be continuing to raise capital under the terms of our qualified Regulation A stock offering, as well as operationally continuing to test, re-organize offers and adapt the tech to allow for our scale. It’s happening and our team has full confidence as we proceed with our next phases,” concluded Robert A. Rositano Jr., CEO, Friendable, Inc.
