Description:
iGlobal Media & Entertainment (iGME) is a multimedia content publisher, producer and distributor. iGME, a California Limited Liability Company, provides the business infrastructure and expertise to ensure the market success of products developed by Inspired Properties. iGME principals, Ronnie Belarmino and Egbert Oostburg, have over 25 years combined experience in the management and production of faith based media and a history as business partners in the multimedia, communication, and Internet technology industries. Together with the creative talents of Inspired Properties' manager Ron Belk, creator of the original 2007 best selling audio book, The Bible Experience, a nexus of business methodology and creative technology was formed.
The Bible Experience (original TNIV release) was a joint effort with Zondervan, an international publisher and subsidiary of Harper‐Collins Publishers. The Bible Experience has generated $75,027,000 in sales since its release in 2007. By leveraging both Zondervan’s distribution strength through retailers worldwide and newer electronic distribution channels, iGME’s next product release, the New International Version (NIV) 2011 Bible Experience, is projected to eclipse this sales figure by 30 percent. iGME’s product pipeline includes print, audio, and video based content delivered as physical media and digitally accessible products. Current products in development include the NIV 2011 Bible Experience and a Spanish Bible Experience translation, in two distinct versions, The New Jerusalem Bible and Reina Valera.
