Guitammer Engages Global Inventures for Rollout of ButtKicker Live!

Westerville, OH, USA (June 18, 2012) /PRNewswire/ — The Guitammer Company, a leader in low frequency sound and creator of the award-winning line of ButtKicker®-brand low frequency audio transducers that provide an immersive entertainment experience for audiences, announced today that it has engaged Global Inventures, Inc., a leading alliance management company, to create a framework for its Technology Working Group (the “TWG”) that will bring together a team of technology, broadcast, sports and entertainment industry experts for the purposes of advancing the development and roll-out of Guitammer’s patented broadcast technology, ButtKicker LIVE!®. ButtKicker LIVE! is an emerging technology that enables the excitement, impact and feeling of sporting events to be broadcast along with the sound and video. Initial members of the TWG are already in place with additional members expected to be added over the next several months.

By seamlessly converting the sounds and action of a live event into a tactile experience for viewers on-site or watching a broadcast, Guitammer’s ButtKicker LIVE! technology can deliver economic benefits across sports and entertainment broadcast ecosystems. ButtKicker LIVE! is a unique technology that can generate increases in viewership and fan loyalty which in turn would drive revenue opportunities for content providers such as sports leagues and programmers, networks and broadcasters, and distributors and operators. Higher viewer engagement driven by ButtKicker LIVE! could also help advertisers maximize ad revenue.

Core members of the TWG have already proven instrumental in assisting Guitammer with a successful test of the ButtKicker LIVE! technology at a well-known auto racing venue, the results of which will be aired in August as part of a television program, and, with a live, professional ice hockey in-arena test.

Deepak Kamlani, CEO of Global Inventures, commented on the formation of the new Technology Working Group, “Our goal is to help promote and advance unique, value-added technologies in order to further their development and paths to commercialization. Guitammer’s ButtKicker LIVE! broadcast technology is an innovative solution that can lead to very exciting opportunities for companies across multiple industries. Using our proven collaboration tools and processes, we’ll help Guitammer bring together the right industry people and companies that will help advance ButtKicker LIVE! to its next stage of development.”

Mark Luden, CEO of Guitammer stated, “Working with Deepak and his team at Global Inventures reflects our continued focus on assembling a team of experts that can assist with the development and rollout of our ButtKicker LIVE! technology platform. Through early stage beta tests we continue to make solid progress towards the commercialization of ButtKicker LIVE! and this new TWG will advance our momentum. Commercializing ButtKicker LIVE! will open up a new, high-margin, recurring revenue and technology licensing channel that will be incremental to the solid growth we are achieving in our core product sales channels.”
