MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 24, 2026 — Genuine Marketing Group Inc. (OTC: GMGZ) is excited to introduce its official ZPTAG teaser campaign, featuring ZPTAG QR codes directly printed on MAISON BLOOM hemp infused seltzer cans available in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Sold at liquor stores, convenience stores, and restaurants across Minnesota, as well as select Ignite Dispensary locations in Wisconsin, MAISON BLOOM and GMG are collaborating with ZPTAG to demonstrate MAISON BLOOM’s dedication to transparency, compliance, and verification for their hemp derived seltzers. As part of the teaser campaign, supply chain partners and retail shoppers can scan ZPTAGged products or promotional Shelf Talkers with their phones to access a GMG/MAISON BLOOM landing page explaining what ZPTAG is, how it works, and the plan for all future MAISON BLOOM products to display unique, fingerprint-like ZPTAGs on every item. This enables verification of cans or cases across multiple distribution channels and before purchase. ZPTAG traceability shows where a product came from, how it arrived, and includes all Certificates of Analysis (COAs) and other required documentation.

This teaser campaign positions ZPTAG as the solution to recent challenges new legislation has created for the hemp industry—including hemp derived beverages. There is an urgent need for industry regulation, verification, and a comprehensive system to meet government requirements and farm bill updates, which currently define hemp as cannabis containing less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by weight. MAISON BLOOM and GMG are leading the way with ZPTAG as the answer to these issues, aligning not only with newly proposed bills like the Hemp Enforcement Modernization and Protection Act (HEMP) but also creating a path for industry-driven self-regulation that rewards compliant businesses. This not only demonstrates adherence to rules but also protects loyal hemp product consumers by involving them in the verification process.

“MAISON BLOOM was built on a simple idea: if you’re making a product people put in their bodies, nothing about it should be a mystery. Partnering with GMG and integrating ZPTAG into our ecosystem lets us prove what’s in every can, where it came from, and how it got there,” said Nathan Johnson, CEO of MAISON BLOOM. “The hemp beverage industry is entering a new era where transparency isn’t optional—it’s expected. GMG’s ZPTAG technology gives retailers, regulators, and consumers an unprecedented clear view into every one of our products. You can trace it, verify it, and trust it. That’s the standard we believe this category deserves,” he added.

“As Genuine Marketing Group continues to expand into the cannabis industry, our ZPTAG platform, consumer app, and verification process stay true to our mission, serving both hemp derived products and the recreational/medical marijuana sectors. Working with MAISON BLOOM on this ZPTAG campaign is the first step in our growing partnership, and we look forward to what comes next with their quality-first brand. Placing ZPTAGs on all their packages and normalizing the purchase experience through transparency and verification are key goals,” said Chuck Chastain, CEO of Genuine Marketing Group Inc. (GMGZ)
