Spriza Sees 1200% Growth in user base

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (Marketwired -- August 27, 2014) -- Spriza Inc. (OTCQB:SPRZ)

Spriza, Inc. (“Spriza”) the world’s leading social network for group prizes and incentives has achieved significant progress in both operations and development during the third quarter of 2014. Improved site design (www.spriza.com) and user functionality has added several new features to Spriza along with eight new premier contests.

“Improvements to our operating platform, SPRIZA™ and partnerships have enhanced our social reach and grown our user base by 1200% month-over-month,” said Spriza’s Chief Executive Officer Rob Danard. “Add to this that users are staying on our site for almost four minutes at a time and you can see where our optimism is coming from.”

Growing relationships in the Philippines, Asia and in the US gaming industry has expanded Spriza’s market and business model to position Spriza as a viable solution for these advertising markets.

Earlier this year, Spriza announced a key partnership with PinoyGreatDeals.com in the Philippines; (N.R. dated May 14, 2014) a deal that has opened doors to additional relationships. With over 100 million people in the Philippines, PinoyGreatDeals.com can be attributed with bringing Spriza to the attention of an advertising agency as a potential licensee in the Asian market. The Philippine based firm represents top brands including premier Fortune 500 companies.

Mr. Danard concluded his remarks saying, “We have a clear vision for Spriza and are confident in the delivery and execution of the platform, sales and marketing strategies. We continue to innovate and strive to be the industry leader in the online group prizes and incentives sector.”

Background

The  last twelve to eighteen months has seen some of the biggest acquisitions in the technology industry. Many of the top acquisitions focused around social interaction, virtual gaming and mobile integration.

The Internet advertising sector has Advertisers worldwide spending $545.40 billion on paid media in 2014, according to new figures from eMarketer.

eMarketer projects total media ad spending will increase 5.7%, , more than doubling its growth rate of 2.6% from a year ago. Several factors play into this year’s growth, from the FIFA world cup to the upcoming Olympics but also the steady shift in spending to online and mobile marketing in the coming years.
