Wilmer Valderrama’s WV Enterprises will distribute its new animated series Muertoons, exclusively through the Latino-oriented Southern California grocery chain Northgate González Market as the series’ first window of distribution.
The mobile-friendly distribution window marks the first time a premiere scripted animated series is launched using the marketing and distribution strength of a supermarket chain. The program also will reward consumers who purchase select products with exclusive episodes of Muertoons.
