In his new capacity, Max Desmarais will assume the role of President, taking on the responsibilities previously held by Mike Cotton, the current President. Meanwhile, Mr. Cotton will become the Company's Chief Business Officer (CBO) and dedicate his efforts to leading and expanding the internal sales development of the company during its ongoing rapid growth phase. At this stage, a concerted effort to grow Gamelancer Media's partnership revenues and its market capitalization is a strategic priority. Mr. Cotton has a proven track record of creating innovative partnerships, scaling companies, and formulating lucrative long-term relationships in the business community. This realignment of roles ensures a strong leadership team poised to drive Gamelancer Media's continued success in the digital media industry.

"It has been a pleasure to serve as President of Gamelancer Media," stated Mike Cotton. "Our business has never been stronger and now that we have met the requirements to uplist to the Toronto Stock Exchange, our most urgent priority is to grow revenue. In order to support this goal, I am shifting my attention entirely to growing our partnerships and ensuring we expand into additional markets and brand categories through the balance of the year and into 2024. Max Desmarais is a natural leader. He has been a driving force in our growth as a company and will excel in overseeing our day-to-day operations as Gamelancer Media joins the TSX."

"Gamelancer is going to strategically grow our brand and agency relationships in the US, aided by our newest board member, JF Cote, who continues to scale Sharethrough into one of the largest ad exchanges globally. Our collective experience across management and the board equips Gamelancer with multiple playbooks as it relates to scaling digital media assets in the US" stated Max Desmarais, newly appointed President of Gamelancer Media. "Gamelancer integrates brands into our network by creating strategic, attribution-focused video campaigns that live on our channels alongside organic content. Our owned and operated network provides Gamelancer with a strategic advantage that likens our offering to a modern version of television, which brands understand. Our audience tunes into our digital channels daily for an average of 95 minutes, and we currently only sell against less than 5% of our digital media inventory. We see this as an opportunity for aggressive growth given that over 65% of our audience resides in the US."

Gamelancer Media's board of directors reports notable changes, reflecting the company's commitment to strategic growth. As part of this transition, Gamelancer Co-founder Darren Lopes assumes a new role on the Board, bringing valuable insights and expertise to further strengthen the company's vision. Concurrently, Mike Cotton and Storm Boswick have resigned from their positions as Directors to focus on other aspects of the business, propelling its growth and development. The Board of Directors recently appointed JF Cote, founder of Sharethrough as mentioned in the press release dated June 15, 2023.

Storm Boswick's exceptional abilities and strategic acumen will be utilized as he spearheads the development of the Gamelancer advisory committee, taking on the role of its chair. In this pivotal role, Mr. Boswick will lend his expertise to drive strategic decision-making and steer Gamelancer Media's growth trajectory. The company looks forward to the valuable contributions and guidance that Mr. Boswick will provide to ensure continued success.

Gamelancer Media remains committed to assembling a diverse and talented board of directors and advisory committee, ensuring that the company benefits from a wide range of perspectives and expertise. These changes represent a strategic step forward as the company positions itself for future achievements in the dynamic global digital media industry.

"We are excited to have Max Desmarais assume the role of President," said Jon Dwyer, Gamelancer Media Chairman and CEO, "Max's extensive industry knowledge and proven track record, which includes co-founding and selling ScaleLab, one of the largest YouTube MCN's in the US, will be instrumental in our organic growth and M&A objectives. I would like to acknowledge Mike Cotton's valuable contributions as he diverts his focus to his role as our Chief Business Officer, ensuring continuity, operational excellence, and revenue growth. Furthermore, I extend my gratitude to Storm Boswick for accepting the role of leading the development of our advisory committee, where his expertise will be invaluable in populating an advisory board to support our growth into the US. We eagerly anticipate our official welcome to the TSX as our final conditions have now been met."
