TrillerNet—which owns the globally popular Triller app used by musicians,

often compared to, encourages its users to post the content created on the app
across other social media platforms and websites. The app uses proprietary AI
and Machine Learning technology which is uniquely tied to the content rather
than the user. By tracking the content, Triller empowers its tastemakers and
users to push their content virally to affiliated and non-affiliated sites and
networks reaching hundreds of millions of additional users. Data and insights
gleaned from the Triller network, its creators, artists and users (from the app
and off network) are used to program longer-form content, connect users across
the web with the content, and provide unprecedented opportunities for
engagement and monetization. TrillerNet has developed highly successful
campaigns that begin with the app and continue throughout the entire content
and technology ecosystem with some of the biggest brands in the world,
including Pepsi, McDonalds, Weedmaps, DraftKings, L’Oreal, and many others.
TrillerNet offers brands a unique content and technology solution, including
direct deals with the influencers and celebrities. This branded content journey
starts with short-form video and can easily expand into valuable long-form
content distributed through the Triller Network, such as live-event boxing and
music PPVs, fashion shows, and episodic reality content on TrillerTV. Some of
the more than 65 original half-hour TrillerTV shows include The D’Amelios
Family’s “Ask a DAM Question,” Jennifer Lopez In The Morning, Jake Paul:

Show, Fat Joe’s Masterclass, The Perez Hilton Show, and Violet Benson’s Too
Tired To Be Crazy, among others. TrillerNet additionally owns Verzuz, the
massive live-stream music platform launched by Swizz Beatz and Timbaland, and
Triller Fight Club (www.TrillerFightClub.com), which launched last year with
the highly successful Tyson-Jones Fight which shattered digital PPV records.
Other holdings include leading AI-powered customer engagement platform
Amplify.ai, and FITE, the premier live event and PPV, AVOD, SVOD streaming platform.
This
marks the third time that FITE, iNDemand and Triller will have partnered to
bring value-packed, world-class PPV events to boxing, music, and entertainment
fans. iNDemand also served as the cable, satellite, and telco PPV distributor
for Triller Fight Club’s November 2020 Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. event
(which landed as the 8th best PPV event of all time), as well as the April 17,
2021 Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren event. FITE handled global digital sales for both
