Dolphin Congratulates Both Buffalo Trace Distillery and Celebrity Chefs Tom Colicchio and Spike Mendelsohn on the Sellouts of Their NFT Projects
MIAMI, FL / ACCESSWIRE / June 7, 2022 / Dolphin Entertainment (NASDAQ:DLPN), a leading entertainment marketing and premium content production company, announced today that its Web3 marketing, consulting and communications agency, We Come In Peace (WCIP), has developed a full slate of metaverse related clients and NFT projects, including ones with supermodel Bella Hadid and music industry mogul Troy Carter.
In the first quarter of 2022, Dolphin Entertainment and WCIP partnered with celebrity chefs and restaurateurs Tom Colicchio and Spike Mendelsohn on Chfty, a collection of NFTs that provide owners with access to a culinary community led by the founders with virtual and in-person cooking events. The collection went on sale in March and sold out in less than 24 hours. WCIP's partnership with Chfty will continue in 2022 with the creation of a larger Web3 culinary ecosystem aimed at helping chefs, foodies, and brands integrate into Web3.
Congratulations are also in order for the 234-year-old Buffalo Trace Distillery, who came to WCIP for their historic launch of five ultra-rare, six-liter bottles of O.F.C. Bourbon Whiskey, distilled in 1982. WCIP developed an NFT auction on BlockBar, the world's first DTC NFT marketplace for luxury wines and spirits, partnered with five global charities, and promoted it across marketing channels to achieve a sell-out. This past March, $280,000 was raised from the five bottles, setting what is believed to be a record for the highest sales generated from a bourbon NFT.
"Since launching four months ago, WCIP is off to a fast start," said Bill O'Dowd, CEO of Dolphin Entertainment. "The team is capitalizing on our two strongly held beliefs: Web3 applications, from NFTs to the metaverse, will only continue to grow exponentially for years to come, and entertainment and gaming content will be the gateway for the average consumer. I'm proud of our team's ability to continually 'skate to where the puck is going to be', which will set Dolphin apart in our ability to perform for our clients, Dolphin 2.0 investments and shareholders."
