ICPA News:
January 17 - IC Places State of the Company Address
IC Places Inc. (OTCQB: ICPA) to release its State of the Company address by CEO Steven Samblis.
From 2005 to 2011, we focused our efforts on building the IC Places website. The main goal was to enhance content and create stickiness. The strategic value of our websites is the fan base which grew around them.
The value of this fan base have been proven over the years. As an example, movie studios have worked with us promoting their new release movies and DVDs. With the movies, we have been able to consistently fill theater seats. With DVD/Blu-ray we have been able to drive sales. The plan has always been to one day do the same for our own products or services.
Guiding Forces
In August of 2011 we signed respected Hollywood insiders Charlotte Parker and Joel Parker to our board of advisors. In their roles with the company, the Parkers consult in the development of content and programming.
Charlotte Parker is well known as the publicist for Arnold Schwarzenegger from the time he began acting. She also guided the public images of over 200 celebrities, politicians, executives and corporations. Parker launched the publicity campaigns of director James Cameron and producer Gale Anne Hurd. She represented director John Frankenheimer and many films, including The Terminator, Aliens, Total Recall, and the animated classic The Swan Princess.
Joel Parker began his career in the News & Information Department of the RCA Corporation. He worked at the NBC Television Network for 10 years in the programing department and Creative Services, where he managed the publicity accounts of several high profile series including the Super Bowl, NBC News and The Tonight Show. Joel also teaches television production at the University of Southern California.
Transition to Hollywood
With the Parkers in place, it was time to create a foothold in Hollywood. In September of 2011 we formed a production and marketing partnership with Hi Point Studios. Hi Point Studios is nestled between Hollywood and Beverly Hills.
Under the partnership, we moved our production offices from Winter Park, Florida to Hi Point Studios in Hollywood, California.
Under the partnership, IC Places is granted exclusive access to the television shows and movies being filmed at Hi Point Studios. We then deliver to our viewers, behind the scenes, "1st Look" shows featuring the actors, directors and producers of these films and television shows.
The partnership gives IC Places additional content for our websites. It spreads the word about Hi Point Studios as well as the movies and TV shows being shot there. Most importantly, for IC Places, it gave us the studio space we needed to begin creating long form TV shows.
Act 1
Our long term goal for IC Places is to become a New Media Entertainment company that will create personality-driven entertainment for online, television and film.
In November 2011, we began production on our first TV show in Hollywood. The show, Static, was created with partner FunnyBrand777, a company helmed by Brandon Gibson a veteran filmmaker, actor and comedian.
The show is a combination of In Living Color, Upright Citizens Brigade and Monty Python with even more irreverence.
