3 Tier Logic retains branded entertainment executive Al Hassas

Marketing veteran will help fuel entertainment industry sales

VANCOUVER, Dec. 1, 2014 /CNW/ - 3 Tier Logic (TSXV: TTM) has retained Al Hassas, a veteran entertainment industry executive and branded entertainment expert, to introduce and sell Platform³ to entertainment industry companies and to consumer brands that are deeply engrained in entertainment marketing.  Hassas has served as a representative of 3 Tier Logic since March of 2014 and has introduced Proximo Spirits and music accessory manufacturer Ernie Ball as new clients to the company.

Based in Los Angeles, Hassas has worked in the entertainment industry as a talent representative, producer and brand consultant for the past 18 years.  As a founder of United Talent Agency's Music and Branded Entertainment division, Al represented artists such as Eminem, Justin Timberlake and Prince as well as corporate clients Ammirati Puris Lintas, Showtime Networks, Kenneth Cole, Bausch and Lomb, and Loews Theatres, amongst others. He founded BOX Entertainment in 2002, which packaged and produced entertainment projects for Nike/Jordan Brand, Caesars Palace, RDF USA, Gloria Estefan, Justin Timberlake, Magic Johnson, and Muhammad Ali.  From 2006-2010, Al worked with The Collective as head of marketing and as a partner in Collective Media (an entertainment industry management/production company) to develop, produce and package an array of entertainment marketing programs, non-scripted television programming, branded entertainment and Internet properties for a wide range of corporate clients such as MGM Resorts International and entertainers such as Linkin Park, Slash, Enrique Iglesias and Peter Gabriel. In addition, Al consulted for North America's number one music retailer Guitar Center with which he is currently the Executive Producer of the original award-winning series titled "Guitar Center Session's" for Direct TV.  As CEO of Sweet Lemons LLC, Al continues his focus on artist representation, production, brand consulting and lends his broad expertise to the development of select technologies.

"We've worked with Al on custom digital marketing projects during the past couple of years with great success. After the launch of Platform³ earlier this year, we were encouraged by Al's belief that we could add value to his entertainment industry customers who are typically at the edge of social media engagement," said 3 Tier Logic President and CEO, Robert Craig. "His unparalleled contacts and keen insights into the entertainment industry are opening up many new opportunities for us to sell Platform³.   As we continue to develop our technology and Saas product, Al is helping us understand the drivers for ROI in an industry that has a rapidly growing digital advertising budget."

"There is a lot of noise and competition in the digital and social engagement space these days," said Hassas. "What got me excited about Platform³ is the fact that it enables consumer-to-consumer sharing and allows brands to capture valuable data about their existing and potential customers that they don't already have or even have the ability to acquire. Platform³ creates the opportunity for brands to identify consumers who are actively engaged with their brand and establish an on-going dialogue with them through the use of one simple dashboard. Before Platform³ came along, brands had to hire multiple vendors to deliver Platform³'s tremendous capabilities."

Hassas will work closely with 3 Tier Logic CEO Robert Craig and will work on a daily basis with Vice President of Sales and Marketing Patrick Pharris.
