He is best known as the founder of the Jackass franchise of movies that have grossed in excess of $300 million at the worldwide box office. He has also appeared in his own nationally syndicated television shows Viva La Bam and Bam’s Unholy Union, on Viacom, Inc.’s MTV Networks. Currently, Bam is the host of Bam’s Bad Ass Game Show which premiered on Time Warner Inc.’s TBS networks on April 14, 2014 and has achieved on average, viewership ratings of over 1 million households per week. Bam is also one of the most popular characters in Activision Blizzard, Inc.’s Tony Hawk Pro Skater video game franchise which is known as one of the most successful video games of all time, grossing in excess of $1 Billion in global sales. To learn even more about Bam, visit his official website here: www.bammargera.com or his Wikipedia page here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bam_Margera

Bam has officially joined mCig, Inc. and VitaCig, Inc. as a brand ambassador. As part of this role, Bam will endorse company products for a period of one year. These endorsements will appear online and offline through various media distribution channels.

“When I was 28 I broke my foot in three different spots. Out of boredom, I started smoking cigarettes. Since then it has been really hard to quit even for a day. About a month ago, a friend sent me a box of mCig’s and Vitacig’s. First, I went to the mCig which let me smoke regular tobacco with nicotine. Then I tried out the VitaCig and was surprised that it was able to suppress my need to smoke a regular cigarette. That's when I realized that I liked the motions of smoking just as much, if not more than smoking. For the time being, I officially quit smoking thanks to the mCig and VitaCig. I have tried a lot of different things that were supposed to help me quit but so far only the VitaCig has been able to do that. The VitaCig works so well because it still provides the motions of a normal cigarette giving you an easy way to quit. The best part is there is no nicotine in it, just vitamin vapors and it works beautifully. My favorite flavor is the Energize and I now have one next to me nearly 24/7. I am really happy to be teaming up with mCig, Inc. to help promote these awesome products. I have no doubt that once people hear about the VitaCig and the mCig, they will rush to try it out.” said Bam Margera

“We are thrilled to have Bam join the mCig/VitaCig team. Bam is the perfect brand ambassador and appeals to the millennial demographic that drive viral adoption. We are excited to see what type of an impact Bam’s association will have on the continued adoption of the mCig and VitaCig. At last count, Bam had over 3.6 million facebook followers and nearly 1 million twitter followers making him one of the most widely followed celebrity in social media. These are important metrics we take into account before approaching potential ambassadors. However, the most important metric of all is Bam’s genuine interest in our line of products. As a company, we are only interested in brand ambassadors that have a passion for what we are doing and can transmit that passion when endorsing our products. ” said Mark Linkhorst, CEO of VitaCig, Inc.

 

“We have all watched Bam do some very difficult things, sometimes even making them look easy. Yet when it came to quitting traditional nicotine cigarettes, Bam found himself in an odd situation. He hated smoking but enjoyed the hand-to-mouth motions and needed something that would help him quit. That something turned out to be VitaCig. Bam’s story is one that can be extrapolated to the 1.2 billion smokers worldwide. That is why we are so excited about the opportunity that lies ahead. While others are focused on leveraging mobile vaporization technology for the purpose of modernizing traditional smoking (nicotine consumption), our ethos has been to leverage that same technology for harm-reduction or medical applications. We are proud to welcome Bam to the mCig/VitaCig family!“ Said Paul Rosenberg, Chairman and CEO of mCig, Inc. Parent to VitaCig, Inc.
