ROCHESTER, N.Y., Dec. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Vinco Ventures announces the purchase of all ZVV equity interest of ZVV Media Partners, a joint venture with ZASH Global Media, including TikTok rival Lomotif.
It's the latest accomplishment of the Board of Directors in their successful and accelerated strategy to build the company's content-driven ecosystem with existing synergies Lomotif, AdRizer, Magnifi U, and Honey Badger.

Vinco's closing of the JV and ZASH portfolio comes amid governmental crackdowns and political concerns over TikTok's china-based company.
