NEW YORK, Nov. 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --Jerrick Media Holdings, Inc., (OTCQB: JMDA) (the "Company" or "Jerrick"), a digital media and technology company, announced today the launch of Vocal, a content distribution platform and publishing hub engineered for creation and discovery spanning verticals in health, sexuality, science fiction, the workplace, pop culture, and more. Aimed at connecting thoughtful and original articles with communities passionate about these topics, Vocal leverages the power of specific and dedicated audiences with a nascent content creation engine.
Vocal blends thought-provoking, appealing content with SEO and monetization capabilities. As a hub for in depth yet digestible stories, Vocal is a place where readers can discover relevant content to suit their interests. Through articles and videos across multiple online verticals that live in the greater Vocal ecosystem, both readers and writers have a unique opportunity to reach their relevant audiences. Vocal's proprietary software, developed by Jerrick and Thinkmill, a leading platform developer based in Australia, aggregates readership and reach for each article to offer monetized results for the platform's content creators.
Vocal launches with six verticals, each of which are built upon a storied history in the media landscape:
"We've created a simple way for people to get their voices heard in the overcrowded noise of the internet that goes hand in hand with an effective monetization strategy," Jerrick Founder Rick Schwartz said. "Vocal combines the ease of Facebook, scope of Reddit, and commerce of Amazon, all into one rich ecosystem, optimized for content and commerce."
