(CSE: CNTR) (FSE: 303) (OTCQB: CNTRF) ("CENTR" or the "Company"), a pioneering force in the functional wellness beverage industry, is thrilled to announce a unique promotional campaign to support the recent launch of CENTR Enhanced.

Staying focused, despite the odds, is the key to fueling your ambition. And to win a staring contest, you must be focused, alert and attentive. For this activation, Northern Californians who display their concentration get free samples of our product and the chance to win a prize pack, where the only requirement is being alert.

The CENTR Stare Off campaign features a 1965 Jeep Kaiser fleet van traveling around Northern California, where participants are invited to test their concentration, focus, and alertness in a staring contest. Contestants will be rewarded with full samples of CENTR Enhanced for their participation. The participant with the longest stare time at the end of each competition day will win a prize package valued at $400.

The Stare Off activation will take place at four key markets in Northern California: San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Cruz & San Luis Obispo; all markets important to CENTR since first launching our portfolio in 2019. In addition, several guerrilla-style marketing and sampling sessions will take place at numerous locations across these cities.

"The importance of this Stare Off activation cannot be overstated. Not only does it invite new consumers into our vibrant brand world, but it also serves as an exciting introduction to the immense potential of nootropics. By participating in the Stare Off, individuals can witness firsthand the power of cognitive enhancement that CENTR Enhanced provides." says Arjan Chima, CEO. "Furthermore, this activation is designed to drive consumers to our key retailers across the focused markets. In doing so, we are fostering a connection between our customers and trusted retail partners, making it easier for consumers to incorporate CENTR Enhanced into their everyday lives. We believe that through this dynamic, interactive experience, we can stimulate curiosity and encourage consumers to explore the full range of CENTR products, thus helping them unlock their true potential in finding their center."
