The goal of A.G. Media is to address the high demand and need for positive messaging through Christian music and entertainment content by creating and distributing this content through multiple media channels.

 

The Company

A.G. Media Group, Inc. is a publicly traded company (Ticker: AMGJ.PK) established to become a leading faith-based media holding company, comprising Christian-based internet, print and television related content properties and technology development services 

A.G. Media was formed in 2003 by Michael Kron, Earl Azimov and Pierre Redding. Michael Kron and Earl Azimov were responsible for pioneering one of the most successful meta search engines on the internet, Mamma.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAMA), while Mr. Redding developed the GospelCity.com web property into a major media entity on the Internet and in the Christian space.

In November 2003, A.G. Media Group Inc. acquired GospelCity.com Inc. In September 2004, A.G. Media successfully launched the newly redesigned GospelCity.com web property to critical acclaim, further establishing this globally recognized, leading brand and cutting edge Gospel music/entertainment web destination.

 A.G. Media’s goal is to address the high demand and need for positive messaging through Christian music and entertainment content by creating and distributing this content through multiple media channels including its own continually growing audience base. A.G. Media will continue to acquire and develop faith-based properties as part of this strategy.

A. G. Media currently receives over 12,000,000 hits per month on its GospelCity.com website. http://gospelcity.com 

 

The Importance & Power of the Christian Market

In the United States alone, 76.5% of American adults, approximately 160 million, who identify themselves with a specific religion, identify themselves as Christian; this number is even greater when considering the global population. The increasing demand for Christian content has driven sales of Christian music and entertainment products to over $4 billion per year. Sales of music alone accounts for over $1 billion of this total. Furthermore, major corporations have begun investing heavily in the Christian market in an effort to actively align their brands with this loyal consumer base. Examples include companies such as The Kellogg Company’s (NYSE:K) recent partnering with A.G. Media for their national Gospel Sing-off competition, General Motors’ (NYSE:GM) sponsorship of The Dove Awards and The Stellar Awards and McDonald’s (NYSE:MCD) sponsorship of the McDonald’s GospelFest since 1987.

 

Revenue Streams

A.G. Media’s business plan generates revenue from multiple sources.  The primary revenue source is sales of online marketing programs and advertising on A.G. Media’s network of web properties. A.G. Media is realizing its goal of aggregating and monetizing a large base of Christian consumers through its network of media properties, including GospelCity.com, and properties in development catering to fans of Christian Rock, Christian Hip Hop and other key genres of Christian music as well as PrayerSpace.com, a faith-based social networking community web property. The advertising client base for A.G. Media is large, consisting of major and independent record labels, recording artists and corporations seeking to reach the Christian consumer through A.G. Media’s web properties. For example, the GospelCity.com web property recently ran a promotional campaign for “American Idol” Ruben Studdard’s new album, demonstrating that even mainstream artists and recording companies use A.G. Media’s properties when seeking to target a large targeted Christian audience.

Additional revenue streams from A.G. Media’s future initiatives will include:

·         User fees from PrayerSpace.com, online social networking community product

·         Subscription fees from artists signing with A.G. Media’s FrontStagePass.com unsigned artist showcase and distribution service

·         Fees from Media Central - a Christian media buying agency

·         Sales of online Christian music and merchandise

·         Programming fees for content creation

We are extremely excited by
 A.G. Media’s entry into the sales of legal downloadable music, a market estimated to grow to over $5.2 billion dollars within the next three years, according to industry analysts, Jupiter Research.

Recent Developments

 A.G. Media has acquired the assets of PrayerMail.com, a web based e-mail product targeting the faith-based community. A.G. Media is currently redesigning the product into a feature-rich social networking community web property called “PrayerSpace.com”, with the objective of attaining a minimum of 500,000 registered users within 24 months, representing annual gross revenue of $3Million.

A.G. Media is currently in final agreement stages with a major internet portal and renowned consumer brand to provide Christian content for that web property. The agreement is expected to exponentially increase audience traffic to A.G. Media’s web properties as well as the A.G. Media brand.

A.G. Media’s “FrontStagePass.com” product, currently in development, will promote music and entertainment content from the thousands of independent and unsigned artists and acts in the Christian music genre. The product will employ a subscription model for artists seeking to place their content for exposure on the property, providing the Company with consistent monthly revenue. A.G. Media will also earn revenue from the sale of these artists’ music.

A.G. Media’s Content Services division has received a letter of intent from BET Networks, a division of Viacom (NYSE:VIA), to purchase and distribute one of A.G. Media’s original music and entertainment television shows upon completion of production.
