DGTL Holdings Inc. Reports the Completion of Software Development for Hashoff 2.0

Hashoff 2.0 is Now a 100% Self-Serve SaaS and Fully Integrated with Tiktok (and Twitter) for a Leadership Position in the Global Video Based Social Media Market

DGTL Holdings Inc. (TSXV: DGTL) (OTCQB: DGTHF) (FSE: D0G) (WKN: A2QB0L) ("DGTL" or the "Company") reports that the Company has successfully completed a robust software development project for its wholly owned subsidiary, Hashoff. Hashoff version 2.0 is now a fully self-service SaaS (software-as-a-service) platform with API integrations into leading the video based social media applications.

Hashoff 2.0 now empowers global brands customers and leading advertising agencies with the ability to build an international team of content publishers, regardless of geography, demographics, language, or content format (i.e. text, image or video).

The Hashoff technical team reports that, "Our 2.0 software suite is currently live and undergoing UAT testing. User Acceptance Testing (UAT) is the final stage of any software development life cycle when actual users test the software to measure the effectiveness of the enhancements in a variety of real-world situations. UAT tests the software's adherence to customer requirements and to the specifications in the RFP (request for proposal) for quality control and compliance."

Post the UAT phase, Hashoff version 2.0 will initiate data migration and allow Hashoff's existing portfolio of global brand customers and advertising agencies to be the first users onto the 2.0 version of the software platform. The product rollout and marketing launch of Hashoff 2.0 will be completed once all existing customers have been onboarded and effectively trained.

As previously announced, the most notable software enhancements are the API integration of top video based social media applications into Hashoff's marketplace creation products. Adding top video applications (e.g. TikTok) as core channels on the Hashoff platform will allow agencies, advertisers, and key accounts to create "cross-social" creator campaigns with a much wider reach and a larger and more engaged audience base. From the creator standpoint, this integration will open a major global market and increase overall competitiveness and revenue potential.

Hashoff 2.0 expands the potential global network of freelance social media influencers, by adding over one billion new active monthly users (i.e. TikTok and Twitter) to its active #IAM Search & Discovery database software. The enhanced software will now scan, rank, score, optimize, engage and manage brand appropriate micro influencers across; Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, etc.

Video based creator content is the fastest growing category within the global social media marketing industry. With over 1.5 billion total users worldwide, TikTok has grown over 800% since 2018, and is now the most downloaded social media application on iOS Apple Store.[i] The social media content market grew over 50% YoY (year-over-year) in 2020 and is expected to continue that trend and surpass the US $10Billion market reported for that calendar year.[ii]

The second major technical enhancement to the Hashoff 2.0 software suite is the significant improvements to the administration management side of the software platform. Most notably, the software now allows for a fully automated creator payment processing system giving version 2.0 total self-service functionality. The ability for customers to operate on a self-service basis greatly reduces managed services costs, creating heightened efficiencies for customers and improved gross margins for the Company, thereby improving the scalability of the Hashoff business.

DGTL also reports an editorial amendment from a previous press release published on August 23rd, 2021. The quotation attributed to a Wideout AQA representative within that release should have been provided on behalf of Wideout's Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Eduardo Francisco.

Mobile Investing in Australia

After lagging behind for a prolonged period, Australia's tech sector is ramping up at an accelerated pace. The tech sector is now equivalent to 8.5 percent of the country's GDP as of the end of 2021, an increase of 26 percent since the onset of COVID-19 through June 2021 and a massive 79 percent increase over the past five years. Tech contributes AU$167 billion to the Australian economy, trailing only the mining (AU$205 billion) and financial/insurance (AU$169 billion) sectors.

Australia's characteristically resilient economy — which had not experienced a recession in nearly 30 years prior to COVID-19 lockdowns — has provided a sturdy backdrop for its growing tech sector. The growth in the tech sector’s contribution to the GDP has outpaced average growth of other industries by more than 400 percent, a gain partly attributable to accelerated digital technology adoption during the pandemic.

This dramatic expansion is largely in response to Australia's need to catch up to the rest of the world and assert itself in the global tech marketplace. Should the tech sector continue to grow at its current rate it will eventually surpass the relative GDP contribution of the long dominant mining sector. This will also complete the process of bringing Australia more in line with other western economies such as the UK, and notably Canada, which is comparable to Australia in terms of its dominant mining and agricultural industries.
