digital marketing and social media are
indications that blockchain and cryptocurrency are infiltrating most aspects of

technology with Comcast’s Advanced Advertising Group, a division of Comcast
Cable ( NYSE: CCZ)

last year its initiative to develop a new,
technological solution - the "Blockchain Insights Platform" - aimed
at improving the efficiency of premium video advertising, resulting in better
planning, targeting, execution and measurement across screens.

411.5 million in 2017 to USD 7,683.7 million by 2022, at a Compound Annual
Growth Rate (CAGR) of 79.6%. The demand for distributed ledger technology,
reduced total cost of ownership, rising cryptocurrencies market cap and initial
coin offerings, increasing demand for simplified business processes,
transparency and immutability, faster transactions, and Blockchain-as-a-Service
are said to fuel the growth of this market.”*

the cryptocurrency market consisted of 1414 cryptocurrencies in 7840 markets:

Recent
news and developments in the sector:
On January 9, 2018 Kodak (NYSE:
KODK)
and WENN Digital, in a licensing partnership, announced the launch of the
KODAKOne image rights management platform and KODAKCoin, a photo-centric
cryptocurrency to empower photographers and agencies to take greater control in
image rights management.
Utilizing blockchain technology, the
KODAKOne platform will create an encrypted, digital ledger of rights ownership
for photographers to register both new and archive work that they can then
license within the platform. With KODAKCoin, participating photographers are
invited to take part in a new economy for photography, receive payment for
licensing their work immediately upon sale, and for both professional and amateur
photographers, sell their work confidently on a secure blockchain platform.
KODAKOne platform provides continual web crawling in order to monitor and
protect the IP of the images registered in the KODAKOne system. Where
unlicensed usage of images is detected, the KODAKOne platform can efficiently
manage the post-licensing process in order to reward photographers.
"For many in the tech industry,
'blockchain' and 'cryptocurrency' are hot buzzwords, but for photographers
who've long struggled to assert control over their work and how it's used,
these buzzwords are the keys to solving what felt like an unsolvable
problem," said Kodak CEO Jeff Clarke. "Kodak has always sought to
democratize photography and make licensing fair to artists. These technologies
give the photography community an innovative and easy way to do just
that."
"Engaging with a new platform, it is
critical photographers know their work and their income is handled securely and
with trust, which is exactly what we did with KODAKCoin," said WENN
Digital CEO Jan Denecke. "Subject to the highest standards of compliance,
KODAKCoin is all about paying photographers fairly and giving them an
opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a new economy tailored for them,
with secure asset rights management built right in."
The initial coin offering will open on
January 31, 2018 and is open to accredited investors from the U.S., UK, Canada
and other select countries. For more information visit www.kodakcoin.com. This
initial Coin Offering is issued under SEC guidelines as a security token under
Regulation 506 (c) as an exempt offering.
On January 11, 2018, SponsorsOne Inc. (CSE:
SPO; Frankfurt:5SO)
announced it has developed the SponsorsCloud
platform which supports smart contracts between Brands, Consumers and
Influencers, automatically determining compensation for authentic social media
engagement using the SponsorCoin. SponsorsOne announced it has incorporated its
USA subsidiary, SponsorsOne Media Inc., in Delaware, operating in Los Angeles
and New York City.
“We are ready to change the way Brands
engage with the Millennial, creating authentic community’s, which are
proprietary to each Brand within all social networks,” stated Myles
Bartholomew, CEO of SponsorsOne. “The role of each office is to build the
Brand’s creative content and social media strategies using the SponsorCoin
smart campaign technology, driving sales straight to our ecommerce platform so
we are a part of the process, from marketing to financial settlement.”
SponsorsCloud turns every consumer
connected to the Brand into an Influencer and compensates them with the
SponsorsCoin for their authentic engagement. The Influencer can then use the
SponsorCoin and their discount to purchase products and services from any
participating Brand making SponsorsCloud the first seamless crypto-commerce
platform.
SponsorsOne is positioned as a leader in
the happening evolution of social digital marketing and crypto-commerce with
the SponsorsCloud platform and its highly scalable digital – smart contract
based crypto-currency called SponsorCoin. Combined, this allows Brands to build
and manage their own proprietary and highly engaged communities of influencers
within the social realm. The SponsorsCloud platform allows for data driven
marketing smart campaigns that will change the way brands connect to their
customers and compensate for authentic engagement using the SponsorCoin digital
crypto-currency. SponsorsCloud and SponsorCoin are tools for brands to inspire
real movements around their products and services in which their most valuable
customers become their best salespeople, producing far greater ROI than current
social media advertising methods.
SponsorsOne’s goal is to drive marketing costs to zero for the Brands
and in turn will earn 15-20% of all sales generated from each of the Brands
smart campaigns – a success, fee-based revenue model. With our focus on attracting the Millennial,
their total consumer goods spending is forecasted at $1.3 Trillion in 2018, the
largest ever in history.
