Soul and Vibe Announces Cross-Promotion With TOMY International for Its Series of "Johnny Tractor and Friends" Interactive Storybooks

MINNEAPOLIS, MN -- (Marketwired) -- 11/24/15 -- Soul and Vibe Interactive Inc. (OTCQB: SOUL), or the "Company," a publisher of games, music, and interactive books for digital devices, today announced its John Deere-branded "Johnny Tractor and Friends" interactive storybook series will be cross-promoted with TOMY International ("TOMY") toys that are also based on the "Johnny Tractor and Friends" intellectual property ("IP.")

Starting in December 2015 and continuing through 2016, TOMY's line of John Deere-branded "Johnny Tractor and Friends" toys will feature, within the packaging, a two-sided pack-in poster. Soul and Vibe's "Johnny Tractor and Friends" series of interactive storybooks is highlighted on one side of the poster, and a robust selection from TOMY's diverse line of "Johnny Tractor and Friends" toys is highlighted on the other. In addition, each of the Company's "Johnny Tractor and Friends" interactive storybooks cross-promotes TOMY's toys via a color full-screen image that appears at the end of each e-book.

"We are very happy to announce we are working with TOMY International on a Johnny Tractor and Friends cross-promotion between Soul and Vibe's series of interactive storybooks and TOMY's line of toys," said Peter Anthony Chiodo ("Tony"), Soul and Vibe's CEO and President. "The licensing leadership at Deere & Company introduced us to TOMY. Thanks to that introduction, we have been able to work with a very talented team within the toy industry and start to develop a relationship that, we believe, will positively impact both of our companies. As I have stated in the past, the John Deere brand strongly appeals to every age group across the world. Whether it is for the instantly recognizable equipment, high play-value toys from TOMY, engaging children's books, or popular apparel, John Deere is an ideal licensed-brand partner for a content publisher like Soul and Vibe."

On August 31st, 2015, the Company announced Soul and Vibe Books, a publishing label for interactive books based on licensed-brands and proprietary Soul and Vibe IP. The label's first interactive storybook, Johnny Tractor and Friends: County Fair, was released on the App Store (for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch) on September 2nd and on Google Play and Amazon (for Android and Kindle devices) on October 8th. The second product in the Johnny Tractor and Friends interactive book series will be formally announced shortly; additional products in the line will be launched, one per quarter, through the 2nd Quarter of 2016. TOMY's line of "Johnny Tractor and Friends" toys are available at Target, Walmart, Toys"R"Us, Amazon, and many other fine retail and online merchants.
