Winning Brands; More Filings and Future Plans Emphasis on Innovators Community is Bold Strategy

New York, NY - Mar 16, 2017 — Winning Brands Corporation (WNBD.OTC) www.WinningBrands.com has reached the half-way point in meeting requirements for a PINK Current Information designation by filing its 2015 Annual Report at www.OTCMarkets.com today, as promised in a recent release. 2016 Q's are now being worked on and will start going up on OTC Markets as the next step. Winning Brands is implementing a comeback plan to operate within the Current Information Tier in Q2 2017. Winning Brands has also made it easier for stakeholders to follow these developments by launching its new Twitter feed yesterday: www.Twitter.com/WinningCEO.

In comments today, Winning Brands CEO, Eric Lehner, gives a further glimpse of the role that these preparations play in the company's bold future plans.

"We are going beyond environmental cleaning solutions as the sum total of our future. Our current environmental cleaning product range doesn't even scratch the surface of what we are intending for the next 5 years. That was our beginning, yes. And that sector will strengthen for us again when the Regulation A offering is implemented in coming months, because the Regulation A financing will provide additional resources. But big picture arises from the enormous response to our www.InnovatorsCommunity.com recruitment of inventors and product developers. We now have innovators contacting us regularly with cool product and technology concepts to consider for public company joint ventures. For the first time ever, Winning Brands is on the receiving end of proposals. We are now doing the selecting, not asking someone else to select us. This makes a huge difference in quality of opportunities that can be cultivated for our shareholders", Mr. Lehner explained.

The "Innovators Community" initiative was launched by Winning Brands as a recruitment portal to connect with product developers, inventors and designers seeking partnerships to bring their innovations to market. The need for such partnerships is proven by the fact that only a small fraction of the tens of thousands of annual applicants make it through to screen time on national TV programs in which inventors "pitch" their ideas to select backers. The national innovation pool is growing much faster than all forms of venture capital and equity crowdfunding addresses. To tap into this unmet need, Winning Brands has created an adaptive network of external product launch experts to form teams around vetted projects that will be launched with public market capital through Winning Brands for the purpose of sharing sales revenue. www.InnovatorsCommunity.com is the portal for this innovator recruitment. It represents the raw material for Winning Brands future growth of shareholder value and has generated significant interest amongst innovators.

Mr. Lehner concludes: "This gives our WNBD shareholders a unique platform to participate in early sales growth of new product launches, with continuous re-evaluation and adjustments to keep the emerging portfolio fresh. We will have more specifics to share in due course. The operational model has been examined by very bright people. They consider it original, timely and immense in its potential over time. Most importantly, the innovators themselves love it. For the present moment, Winning Brands has housekeeping to complete so that we can implement our Regulation A and then get rolling with new projects."
