(TSX VENTURE: LXV) ("LXV" or the "Company") and portfolio company Mobio ("Mobio") are pleased to announce that Mobio has signed on American reality television personality Scott Disick as a social media influencer. Mr. Disick is best known for starring on the television series Keeping Up With the Kardashians, and has a huge fan base spanning across the globe including more than 3.6 million Twitter followers. 

Scott has selected Mobio as his preferred platform for two-way fan social engagement and dialogue. Through Mobio INsider, Scott will encourage his fans to ask for the pictures and content that they want most, and Scott will respond creating a more personal relationship. Mobio INsider has completed Beta testing and will be officially launching on December 1st with leading influencers including Mr. Disick.

Mobio continues to disrupt the social engagement industry by attracting the world’s most widely followed celebrities and achieving exceptional ad unit engagement as fans unlock celebrity content by engaging with brand partners.

Mobio INsider is the evolution of this trend by enabling true two way communication between stars and their fans.

Mark Binns, president of Mobio, said, "We are very excited that Mr. Disick has selected Mobio as his platform for two way social fan engagement. Our continued adoption by leading social media influencers like Scott shows that our technology has unique value in the marketplace and that we are succeeding on our vision of bringing stars closer to their fans, one by one.”
