("Intertainment" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: INT)(OTCQX: ITMTF)(FRANKFURT: I4T) is pleased to announce its partnership with Los Angeles, CA based, premier communications specialists, PUB 1917, to enhance their current and future digital production and corporate communications programs primarily for the automotive industry. Intertainment will provide production services and Intertainment's Live & Global platform "Powered by Ortsbo" will increase the ability to reach North American multi-language teams and global participants. The current scope of the first year opportunity is estimated in excess of USD $500,000 and based on traction within the global automotive sector, could be considerably greater. Among its key offerings as a creative service and production company, PUB 1917 produces strategic corporate communications, marketing, product education and specialized webcasts for automotive and commercial clients such as KIA, Hyundai, Lexus and Toyota. PUB 1917 clients also include Mercedes, Honda, Jaguar, Intel, Alcoa, Sony Pictures, Panasonic and DaVita. The webcasts have been used primarily for the automotive companies to introduce new models and specialized features to their dealers and staff and to enable interactive communications between their audience and in-studio specialists in design and engineering. Sensing a growing need to broaden the audience internationally, PUB 1917 immediately saw the advantages of using Intertainment's interactive technology to reach a broader audience. This technology, which has been used successfully in the Entertainment and Sports industry for Variety, KISS, Disney, IndyCar, Dreamworks, Fox, Yahoo!, MSN and other leading providers allows users and brands to interact in real time in over 65 languages, and provides all the production components to create an online real-time event. The Live & Global platform affords all viewers the ability to engage the experts by asking questions in their native language and having the question and reply immediately understood by all viewers. Intertainment will also provide specialized technology and web sites for pre-event registration to allow interactive communication during the event, as well as "Dashboards" that provide real time analytics during and after the broadcast. PUB 1917 is managed by its co-founders Bruce Birch and Ramon P. Montoya who issued the following joint statement: "Intertainment will provide us with the missing link for real time interactive corporate communications. Finally, our clients can go beyond the English speaking audience and create an interactive, engaging, ONE WORLD event in 66 languages, potentially saving millions of dollars annually. In addition, we are beginning to see how Intertainment's additional suite of services will contribute to a new and expanding portion of our business."
