RYPPF) secures Blockchain and Capital Markets Expert
Thomas Carter as Key Advisor to Identify and Launch Profitable Web3
and Metaverse Opportunities for RYU
Toronto, ON, Canada -- July 11th, 2022 --
InvestorsHub NewsWire -- RYU Apparel Inc. (TSXV:
RYU) (OTCQB:
RYPPF) (FWB: RYAA) ("RYU" or the
"Company"), a cutting edge digital lifestyle
brand, and creator of award-winning urban athletic apparel that
facilitates human movement, is pleased to announce that it has
signed an advisory agreement with Thomas Carter, current CEO of
blockchain infrastructure company Total Network Services and
Founder/Chairman of leading FinTech company Deal Box, to
oversee architecture and deployment of RYU's Web3 Initiatives as
part of the Company's move into the ever expanding Metaverse for
existing and future lines of business.
Thomas Carter has a decorated career as an
executive and innovator in action sports with 30+ years' experience
building businesses and investing in athletes. He has helped advise
over 500 companies and spent the past six years creating industry
leading blockchain technology and services in FinTech and the
Internet of Things.
This year, Carter's company Total Network Services will facilitate
the U.S. government's largest blockchain implementation to date
with the U.S. Census Bureau helping secure over 500,000 employee
devices using their Universal Communication Identifier
(UCID).
Carter commented, "I am thrilled to join the RYU team at such a
pivotal point in their business. I see their best-in-class apparel
and lifestyle brand, along with partnerships such as the recently
announced NFL Alumni Academy, as perfect opportunities for me
to be effective as an advisor in helping them bring their product
offerings to the next level."
Thomas Carter has been identified as an integral piece to RYU's
move into immersive and virtual experiences to help better engage
customers in all environments. Additionally, RYU's CEO Cesare
Fazari recently announced that along with RYU's apparel partnership
with the NFL Alumni Academy, he will be providing leadership and
business development advisory to NFL players. This initiative will
now be supported by Carter's expertise in Capital Markets and
Web3.
Through Carter's advisory, the Company has outlined plans to engage
Rypplzz, creators of the
digi-physical landscape, location based messaging application
LightPlay. They will be commissioned to
create proprietary 2D/3D LightPlay content for use in stores, at
pop-up locations and for other marketing purposes for remote
engagements with customers, especially brand
advocates.
Additionally they will work with RYU to develop and implement a UGC
(user generated content) strategy and special activations that
build engagement and loyalty among consumers.
RYU sees great potential in working with Rypplzz's patented
Interlife®, the geo-spacial technology that underlies LightPlay,
designed to elevate the human experience by connecting people,
content, and things to physical space.
CEO Cesare Fazari comments, "At
RYU we see it as critical that we engage our customers in new,
impactful, and immersive ways and what Rypplzz and Thomas bring to
the table is exactly that. Between Thomas'
many years spent dealing in Web3 advancing the blockchain economy
and Rypplzz's ability to bring augmented and
virtual experiences to users, we feel unprecedented success is a
forgone conclusion. RYU is well positioned to become a market
leader in the space, all the while creating immersive and
interactive experiences."
Carter expressed his enthusiasm about this opportunity, "My life's
passion is helping entrepreneurs find their way. Equipping them to
have the proper tools and best practices in their arsenal is what
I've built my career upon. It's one thing to make businesses
succeed, and I'm thankful to say I've had many successes, but it's
a completely different thing to help others succeed in their own
areas of expertise. I'm excited to work alongside Cesare and bring
my
knowledge to the table with RYU and their partners."
