New times require new tools. Al has always focused on building companies, usually in media or e-commerce, that embrace new ways to serve deeply engaged audiences with carefully curated content and products.The latest ventures, CultureSonar and Now With Purpose, focus on creating original content for passionate audiences. CultureSonar (www.CultureSonar.com) is currently the bigger of the two, targeting grown-up music lovers. In addition to its daily blog, it co-produces theatrically-released films and TV/digital programming. Its e-commerce store features often-exclusive products for music geeks. For its part, Now With Purpose (www.NowWithPurpose.com) is devoted to providing practical resources to help us live healthy, balanced, sustainable lives. Toronto-based iThentic was named Canada's "Digital Company of the Year." It is an Emmy winner -- and earned the first Canadian Screen Award for Best Digital Series. As an advisor, Al is helping build The Bureau of Small Projects, whose mission is to put Fortune 500 and Big Brand experience to work for small businesses, startups and non-profits. Similarly, Al served on the board of Acorn Media Group, assisting in the company’s digital strategy that led to successes like the AcornTV streaming service.He was President/CEO of Wellspring Media, a company he co-founded.

Its library of over 700 titles included many Oscar, Emmy and Grammy winners. Wellspring investors enjoyed excellent returns on two separate buyouts. Before starting Wellspring, Al served as President/COO of LA-based Pacific Arts Corporation, where he helped create the PBS Home Video label, the first time a TV network built its own home-media business. He serves on the non-profit board of Shine Global, an Oscar-winning producer of films dedicated to ending the exploitation of children, worldwide.

His goal is to create enterprises that are “noble, profitable and fun.”#Media,#SmallBusiness, #HolisticLiving, #Entrepreneur, #StartUps #music #musicology #blogs

  • Culturesonar
    Founder/Ceo
    Culturesonar Nov 2015 - Present
    CultureSonar is a young media company whose blog has gathered an audience passionate about the arts, both as consumers and creators. The core audience is 45-64 years old, affluent, educated and mostly male. The 45+ demo is the largest, most affluent group in the nation, accounting for over 50% of domestic consumer spending, yet there are few genuinely interesting media outlets that serve it. CultureSonar has struck a proverbial chord with this group, creating original content — every day — in prose, video, podcast and even film. The blog delivers millions of monthly impressions across FB, the website and Twitter, with excellent engagement metrics. The company successfully completed an Angel fundraising round in 1Q 2017.
