Grey Cloak Tech, Inc. to Secure Sponsors, Execute Influencer Marketing Campaign for the Skateboarding Hall of Fame

LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - February 16, 2016) - The Skateboarding Hall of Fame has engaged Grey Cloak Tech, Inc. (OTCBB: GRCK) to strategize and execute an influencer marketing campaign to attract the attention of media and sponsors for the annual award show held in May. The event is made possible through the support of returning title sponsor, Vans.

Grey Cloak Tech, Inc. (OTCBB: GRCK) announced today that they have been engaged to do a strategic influencer marketing campaign for the Skateboarding Hall of Fame. Established to honor skateboarders and icons that have significantly impacted skateboarding history and culture, the Skateboarding Hall of Fame recognizes their annual inductees at an award show each year. This year's event will add twelve new inductees to the Skateboarding Hall of Fame. They will join the 52 current members including athletes ranging from Patti McGee (cover of Life Magazine, 1965) to Tony Hawk. The event includes a VIP dinner and live show and is slated for May 13th from 6 to 11 PM at the City National Grove of Anaheim. Tickets are available online now through Eventbrite.

"The growth and excitement around the Skateboarding Hall of Fame has been amazing over the past four years," says the Producer of the Skateboarding Hall of Fame, Josh Friedberg. "Something special is happening here, and we see social media as an opportunity to share a culture and a conversation that is much bigger than this one night." 

To accomplish this, Friedberg engaged Grey Cloak Tech, Inc., a publicly traded digital advertising and technology firm, to execute an influencer marketing campaign involving hundreds of popular social media personalities to produce live, behind-the-scenes content for the Hall of Fame and its sponsors. "We're excited to see what kind of engagement we can build within the community with the help of Grey Cloak," says Friedberg.

An integral part of that community, Vans has signed on as the title sponsor. "As I approach Vans' 50th anniversary, I am honored to be among this special group of people who support skateboarding around the globe year after year. Vans and I will be bringing some of our golden celebration to the 2016 Skateboarding Hall of Fame Awards for a special evening dedicated to the legends of skateboarding and the future of this incredible sport," says Steve Van Doren, VP of Events and Promotions for Vans.

Additional sponsorship opportunities are currently available. Sponsor packages include digital media impressions and news coverage through Grey Cloak's creative influencer marketing and public relations campaign.

"We're engaging social media influencers to create authentic conversations surrounding the event," says Tina Mulqueen, VP of Marketing for Grey Cloak Tech. "Influencers are hand-selected to ensure their audiences align with the demographic of the skateboarding culture, so that there's inherent social validation inside of these marketing efforts. The result is a sort of social media product placement that is strategically activated by the Hall of Fame event."

Grey Cloak anticipates that a combination of these influencer conversations, in addition to strategic media coverage, will garner hundreds of millions of digital media impressions for the Skateboarding Hall of Fame and its sponsors. 

Grey Cloak's influencer marketing offerings were introduced in January as an effort to provide alternative digital campaigns to fraud-riddled pay-per-click advertising, an issue that the company sought out to resolve last year with their proprietary Fraudlytic technology. Fraudlytic tracks and eliminates hundreds of permutations of digital advertising fraud. The Interactive Advertising Bureau projects a combination of malicious digital advertising practices will cost advertisers $8.2 billion annually.
