Overview
The Company is a professional services company that architects and builds enterprise value in consumer facing brands to generate scalable performance-driven revenue growth through customer acquisition. The Company delivers three solutions pillars that: CREATE brands and experiences and CONNECT consumers through emerging technology products and ecosystems to deliver PERFORMANCE-based measurable business outcomes.
Business Solutions Pillars
The Company now provides the three brand and customer acquisition solutions through one unified organization that has three core “Business Solutions Pillars”:
Brand Building and Activation
Marketing Innovations and Enterprise Technology
Performance and Customer Acquisition
The Company’s Business Solutions are designed to be executed as standalone or integrated activations with a unified go-to-market approach.
The Company generates revenue principally from two material revenue streams: Managed Services and Performance Solutions.
The Company’s Managed Services are typically orientated around the management of a customer’s marketing, data, and/or creative program. The Company’s deliverables relate to the planning, designing, and activating of a solution program or set of work products. The Company executes this revenue stream by leveraging internal and external creative, technical or media-based resources, third party advertising technology solutions, proprietary business intelligence systems, data delivery systems, and other key services required under the terms of a scope of work with a client.
The Company’s Performance Solutions are typically orientated around the delivery of a predetermined event or outcome to a client. Typically, the revenue associated with the event (as agreed upon in a scope of work) is based on a click, lead, call, appointment, qualified event, case, sale, or other defined business metric. The Company engages in a myriad of consumer engagement tactics, digital and offline ecosystems, and customer acquisition methods to generate a consumer’s interest in a particular service or product.
Enterprise Organization
The Company is structured as a matrixed organization with four operational and business quadrants:
Enterprise Planning and Operations
Knowledge and Technical Services
Client Acquisition and Thought Leadership
Business Consulting Solutions
2


This matrix structure is capable of delivering a financially efficient organization that democratizes technical and planning resources.
Scale
We excel at generating highly scalable customer acquisition and retention programs in high value products and services cross several strategic sectors. The Company generates resilient enterprise brand value and revenues for its clients, having orchestrated thousands of mass scale campaigns and sales programs for some of the leading companies in the United States.
Sector Expertise
The Company’s expertise is in large consumer sectors including Insurance, Financial Services, Home Improvement, Residential Services, Legal, Professional Services, Media and Entertainment.
The Company’s Business Solutions are architected to service other sectors that have a B2C focus with a need for high lifetime value customers.
Corporate Information
We were incorporated in Nevada in December 2003. Our corporate headquarters are located at 25 West 39th Street, 6th Floor, New York, NY 10018, and our main telephone number is (212) 213-0111. Our website address is www.thetmgrp.com. The information on our website is not part of this prospectus. We have included our website address as a factual reference and do not intend it to be an active link to our website.
Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company
We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) since the market value of our shares held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company after this offering if either (i) the market value of our shares held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our shares held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. As a “smaller reporting company,” we have elected to take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosure available for smaller reporting companies in this prospectus as well as our filings under the Exchange Act, including that we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.
Nasdaq Capital Market Rules
On May 20, 2022, the Company received notice from The Nasdaq Capital Market that it had failed to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share based on the closing bid price for the thirty (30) consecutive business days preceding May 20, 2022 (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”). On November 17, 2022, the Company received a letter from The Nasdaq Capital Market and was provided 180 calendar days, or until May 15, 2023, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. If we are not able to meet the Minimum Bid Price Rule by May 15, 2023, our common stock may be delisted.
Settlement Agreements
Effective March 31, 2023, the Company entered into the Settlement Agreements with the selling stockholders hereunder.
The Company and the selling stockholders are party to (i) that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 16, 2022, pursuant to which the original purchasers of the Series E Preferred Stock (the “Original Purchasers”) acquired shares of Series E Preferred Stock and accompanying warrants, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, and (ii) that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of March 16, 2022 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and the Original Purchasers agreed to certain requirements and conditions covering the resale of the Company’s common stock.
3


Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company, upon acquiring Converge Direct LLC in March 2022, was required to file a registration statement within ten (10) business days of such closing and for such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC no later than forty five (45) business days thereafter (the “Registration Requirements”). The persons entitled to liquidated damages pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement have alleged that the Company did not fulfill the Registration Requirements. In exchange for the selling stockholders’ agreement to terminate the Registration Rights Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement and all rights respectively thereunder (other than the piggy-back rights set forth in Section 6(d) thereof) and the release by such persons of any and all claims for liquidated damages under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has delivered to each selling stockholders a number of shares of Company common stock equal to the dollar amount of liquidated damages purportedly owed to each such selling stockholder multiplied by four (4) (the “Settlement Shares”), and the Company agreed to prepare and file a resale registration statement registering the Settlement Shares for resale. The parties to the Settlement Agreements are the selling stockholders hereunder, and the shares of Company common stock offered under this prospectus comprise the “Settlement Shares” issued to such selling stockholders under the terms of the Settlement Agreements.
This foregoing descriptions of the Settlement Agreements, the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, (i) in the case of the Settlement Agreements, the Form of Settlement Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 6, 2023, and (ii) in respect of the Registration Rights Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement, as applicable, Exhibits 4.2 and 4.3 of the Company’s Form 8-K filed March 18, 2022, each of which is incorporated by reference herein.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
This prospectus covers an aggregate of up to 10,692,704 shares of our common stock.
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to each selling stockholder, including (i) the shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholder prior to this offering, (ii) the number of shares being offered by the selling stockholder pursuant to this prospectus and (iii) the selling stockholder’s beneficial ownership after completion of this offering, assuming that all of the shares covered hereby (but none of the other shares, if any, held by the selling stockholders) are sold. The registration of the shares of common stock does not necessarily mean that the selling stockholders will sell all or any of such shares.
The table is based on information supplied to us by the selling stockholders, with beneficial ownership and percentage ownership determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to shares of stock. This information does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a selling stockholder and the percentage ownership of that selling stockholder, shares of common stock subject to warrants held by that selling stockholder that are exercisable within 60 days after the date hereof, are deemed outstanding. Such shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The percentage of beneficial ownership after this offering is based on 413,121,717 shares outstanding on May 10, 2023.
The registration of these shares of common stock does not mean that the selling stockholders will sell or otherwise dispose of all or any of those securities. The selling stockholders may sell or otherwise dispose of all, a portion or none of such shares from time to time. We do not know the number of shares, if any, that will be offered for sale or other disposition by any of the selling stockholders under this prospectus. Furthermore, the selling stockholders may have sold, transferred or disposed of the shares of common stock covered hereby in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act since the date on which we filed this prospectus.
To our knowledge and except as noted below, none of the selling stockholders has, or within the past three years has had, any position, office or other material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the selling stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Our Articles of Incorporation limits the liability of our directors and provides that our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for: (i) breach of a director’s duty of loyalty, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, (iii) the unlawful payment of a dividend or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption, and (iv) any transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit. Our Articles of Incorporation also provides that we shall indemnify our directors to the fullest extent permitted under the Nevada Revised Statutes. In addition, our Bylaws provide that we shall indemnify our directors to the fullest extent authorized under the laws of the State of Nevada. Our By-laws also provide that our Board of Directors shall have the power to indemnify any other person that is a party to an action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that the person is an officer or employee of our company.
Under Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, we have the power to indemnify our directors, officers, employees or agents who are parties or threatened to be made parties to any threatened, pending or completed civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) arising from that person’s role as our director, officer, employee or agent against expenses, including attorney’s fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person (a) acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful, and (b) is not liable pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.138, and performed his powers in good faith and with a view to the interests of the Corporation.
Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, we have the power to indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents who are parties or threatened to be made parties to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in our favor arising from that person’s role as our director, officer, employee or agent against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person (a) acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests and (b) is not liable pursuant to Section 73.138 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.
These limitations of liability, indemnification and expense advancements may discourage a stockholder from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. The provisions may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these limitations of liability and insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons
II-1


pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in a successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to the court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Insurance. The registrant maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, which covers directors and officers of the registrant against certain claims or liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties.
Any underwriting agreement or distribution agreement that the registrant enters into with any underwriters or agents involved in the offering or sale of any securities registered hereby may require such underwriters or dealers to indemnify the registrant, some or all of its directors and officers and its controlling persons, if any, for specified liabilities, which may include liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.

Item 17. Undertakings.
(a)The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
II-3


(i)to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that: Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(2)That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4)That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
(i)Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii)Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
(5)That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary
II-4


offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i)Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii)Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii)The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv)Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(6)The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(7)Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(8)The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act.
