Electromedia Technologies Corporation
Innovating for over 45 years!
Electromedia Technologies LLC, publishes and distributes Patroned™ eBooks, audio books, and sponsored audio and video content for Internet and wireless distribution to members of affinity groups. Through its Brass Tacks Publishing imprint, it also publishes traditional print trade paperback books and on-demand books for authors and independent publishers.
Markets currently served include: customer relationship management units of commercial enterprises; college and university alumni associations; chambers of commerce and economic development groups; financial services firms; professional organizations; and newspapers.
Its current business endeavors are aligned with its original mission, articulated in 1963 when the company was formed: “Using radio and television technologies to serve diverse electronic communication needs of business and industry.” That was, of course, before the Internet, personal computers, the world-wide-web, and digital eBooks. Since then, it has continually expanded its portfolio of diverse services to exploit obscure market niches that are created by expanding technology. Today, its raison d’être embraces the application of emerging technologies to the distribution of knowledge and know-how.
The firm’s principal specialty has been the conversion – and compression – of information and previously published materials into audio, video and other electronic formats so that it can be quickly, conveniently accessed and utilized. Its products enhance information absorption by utilizing unique levels of sensory awareness.
At its inception, Electromedia Technologies produced radio and television programming – the original “infomercials” – for market-driven business firms. Over time, its menu of services expanded and diversified. In 1963, it contributed to the birth of electronic “distance learning” with its production of the televised Supervisor Development program, which was supported and certified by the Administrative Management Society. This line of endeavor was supplemented in 1969 with computer based simulations for corporate training.
Later, Electromedia Technologies diversified further by becoming one of the first and largest producers of personal financial management educational programs that were distributed by the broadcast media, newspapers, financial institutions, and professional associations.
Eventually, its product line grew to include radio and television programs, computer simulations, CDs, DVDs, MP3 files, podcasts, audio/video internet portals, syndicated newspaper columns, print trade books, and digital e-Books.
Electromedia Technologies concentrates on creating simple but profitable adaptations of complex technology to common, but underserved, business and consumer needs. Its founder had considerable experience in technology simplification. He was a founder of a now-public company that successfully “dumbed-down” the process of providing reliable, affordable software to early computers users. By introducing simplicity to aggregate, test, package and distribute new technology, that company grew to a world-wide enterprise with over $30 billion in sales.
He also was a creator of the first successful shared, in-store, electronic banking network which served over one-hundred-and-fifty banks and handled almost one-hundred million transactions annually.
Electromedia Technologies was the guiding force behind the first public offering of securities via a proprietary broadcast satellite network. In every instance, complex technology was harnessed to provide valuable, understandable assistance to a large number of users.
