SMC Entertainment, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SMCE) announced today that Fred McKendree, a seasoned sales and marketing professional, has been appointed to the Company's management team. Over the span of his career Mr. McKendree has had a hand in the success of a number of chart topping acts across genres including Ozzy Osbourne, Ice Cube, Master P, Dr. Dre, Jill Scott and many more.

"SMC Entertainment is developing a digital strategy that may enhance efforts on the marketing and delivery of our content, but may allow us to further exploit our core business model. This may allow us, if present trends and market conditions continue, to achieve sales growth from currently untapped sources. If the Company can successfully implement this strategy, the Company may be poised to gain market share both in the short term but most importantly in the long term. These are very exciting times to be involved in such a forward-thinking organization," shared Mr. McKendree.

Mr. McKendree has worked at some of the most influential companies in the music business including Priority Records, EMI and the Handleman Company. While at Priority he worked with a who's who list which ranged from Tony Iommi to NWA; creating innovative merchandising and sales programs that helped position them as the largest independent label in the late 90's and working with some of the largest physical retailers in the world, including WalMart, Best Buy, and Blockbuster Music.

Most recently as Vice President Sales and Distribution at RBC Records he worked both independent and major artists' projects including Tech N9ne, Rakim, Raphael Saadiq, E-40, and many more. With a strong background in both the physical and digital landscape, he has created many groundbreaking promotional campaigns allowing indie artists to flourish in an ever-changing music marketplace.

"We are extremely excited to have him join our team since he brings with him a real understanding of the formula for success it takes in the industry these days from the physical to digital releases and our vision for growth. He has an aggressive sales model and innovative marketing ideas that we look forward to putting into action," said SMC Entertainment, Inc. CEO Ralph Tashjian.
