We enable brands to release their news directly to the media, circumventing the Press Release and Public Relations Middlemen. Thereafter, Brands have the ability to utilize Paid Distribution to distribute the story to their target audience.“
2. Surrogate.com for $110,000

3. Fortnite.com for $71,500
- An upgrade from FortniteGame.com. They dropped nearly $40k a couple weeks earlier on the typo Fornight.com, so these folks know their way around domain names.
