 Greg Kimmelman, Founder and CEO

Mr. Kimmelman is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Global Telemedia, Inc. He has more than 30 years of experience in all aspects of the entertainment and media industries. As a former producer of the Emmy Awards, he was a creative force behind the distribution of “Inside the Actors Studio,” one of cable’s most popular shows honored with 7 Emmy nominations. His production credits also include a variety of major live events and specials, including the 200th Anniversary of the Statue of Liberty, the 40th Anniversary of the United Nations and, most recently, Hot Pop, a “tween” series broadcast over the Starz/Encore network.

Mr. Kimmelman began his professional career as a music executive with Warner Bros. Records and worked with Richard Branson on his first artist signing for Virgin Records in the U.S. During the 1980’s, he was one of the first to recognize the commercial importance between the marriage of music and video for broadcast over media distribution systems. From his innovated work in the development of some of the first music videos, he applied that experience to the nascent satellite communications business. While working for Reuters, he developed media concepts for its commercial satellite business, creating the “video news release" and popularizing “video conferencing.” These concepts are used extensively by many Fortune 100 companies as an integral part of their public relations programs.

A former Governor and present member of the The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, and member (inactive) of the Director's Guild of America, Mr. Kimmelman is also a member of the International Television Association , the National Association of Television Program Executives and a Freemason. He holds a B.A. in Communications from American University and a M.S. from Columbia University.

Producers, Writers, Developers , Packagers...

Your work speaks for itself! Certainly how you would want to market your series to the international market must be as well thought out and planned. There would need to be a commitment from a distributor who understand this and can work in an environment to devote the time and focus needed to present this series in a way that speaks with integrity and purpose.

The value of the international broadcast market has been estimated at roughly $4.5 billion, and about 70% of the programming sold is produced in the United States. Our estimate is that 75% of the value comes from scripted programming (dramas, sitcoms, and comedies) and 25% from unscripted programming such as factual, reality lifestyle and pop culture. International sales are frequently responsible for generating greater profits for the producer than the original productions fees.  With the development of new platforms such as Video On Demand, Broadband and Mobile, there is a wider revenue stream that can also introduce producers to new contacts for co-productions.

Producers should select a company that compliments their vision but also has access to buyers through working with them on a "local" level as well as from a centralized location. Global Telemedia has a network of affiliated agents that we work with in key regions throughout the world.  We have pioneered unique ways to position your programs and seek out the most appropriate markets in which to target our sales campaigns.

You must consider the size of the company you select. Large companies can take advantage of its size in the market, but if for example a large company develops and produces it's own content they may want to focus on selling it before your shows. We represent independent producers with unique programs and treat each project in a dedicated focused approach. There is never a "throw it against the wall and see if it sticks" philosophy. Each project is planned and designed to compliment the producers "vision" as it relates to the market.

Combining our knowledge, experience and personal contact with our clients and suppliers, your show will get maximum exposure in the market on several platforms.
