IPIC iPic Entertainment Inc

Inc. Magazine and iPic® Entertainment (NASDAQ:IPIC) today announced a strategic partnership to elevate the theatrical guest experience through collaborative big-screen content for iPic members and guests. 

The partnership, effective this month, will begin with Inc. editorial video segments featuring talks with the country’s most innovative visionaries, CEOs and executives to be run on iPic screens as part of “iPic Life,” the 20-minute show produced by iPic Entertainment which is featured before every movie at iPic’s screens.

The series will highlight a uniquely dynamic breed of founders, innovators and influencers who embody the entrepreneurial spirit across the globe. Each 2-3 minute segment will provide external brands the opportunity to advertise around the content, allowing for additional revenue streams. In-theater content at iPic® will rotate monthly, with prior segments available for viewing online at iPic.com as well as Inc.com. “The fastest-growing private companies, the larger than life personalities that drive them, and the ideas and insights they provide are why millions read our magazine and visit our website,” says Mansueto Ventures CEO Eric Schurenberg. “This iPic partnership will allow us to bring these inspirational and exciting stories into the eye-opening, larger-than-life format these stories deserve, appealing to viewers and brands alike.”

“Our consumers are highly connected to the entrepreneurial world and have expressed genuine interest in our existing pre-show content that highlights emerging and established brands on-screen,” states Hamid Hashemi, CEO and Founder of iPic® Entertainment. “Inc. has established itself as a producer of beautiful segments that have proven to be valuable content for their consumers, many of whom are iPic fans already.”
