FT. LAUDERDALE, FL--(Marketwired - May 18, 2016) -  Multimedia Platforms, Inc. (OTCQB: MMPW) ('MMPW' or the 'Company'), the only publicly traded LGBT media company, provides shareholder update and reports its financial results for the three month period ended March 31, 2016.

Net revenue for the 2016 first quarter increased $515,020 or 272% to $704,655 as compared to $189,635 for the same period the prior year. Revenue increased due to expanded circulation, increased sales efforts and the inclusion of revenue from acquired businesses, Columbia FunMap, Next Magazine and Frontiers Magazine.

Bobby Blair, Chief Executive Officer of Multimedia Platforms, commented, "We are pleased with our revenue growth during the quarter, driven by the consolidation and full integration of our LGBT media assets. Next, Frontiers and the Florida Agenda were successfully re-launched which increased our viewership, engagement and ultimately drove sales. We have successfully leveraged the dedicated user following and content of each respective asset to continue building WiRLD, our LGBT digital and social hub. New features in Q2-2016 will include My WiRLD Community, the first social and digital content community, and the re-launch of NextMagazine.com and FloridaAgenda.com powered by the WiRLD UI, which will allow members to earn reward tokens. The evolution of WiRLD has just begun. Going forward we will continue investing in ourselves and our long term vision."
