About GDMG

GoDigital Media Group (“GDMG”) is a closely held conglomerate founded in 2006 by Jason Peterson. GDMG is building an ecosystem that connects consumers with joy through content, community and commerce at their passion points. Today, GDMG does this in music, entertainment, and wellness.

Our ecosystem has two pillars: (1) culturally significant, durable intellectual property and (2) first party customer relationships. Focusing on the emotion drives customers to action. Durable IP provides the risk profile of an infrastructure business and first party customer relationships provide the upside potential of a technology business.

Our focus on music has been especially impactful, with more than 20 billion streams and views per month across our IP catalog, and an industry leading presence in Latin and Reggaeton, and household names like T.I., Daddy Yankee, Jason Derulo, Jimmy Humilde, and Fuerza Regida.

Who We Are

A CULTURE

that drives business, creating a self-perpetuating growth machine. One that is values-based and helps people move beyond irrational fears, embracing bold decisions, and failing forward fast.


A FOCUS

on investment over scarcity, on balancing qualitative and quantitative, on measuring everything while trusting intuition; and institutionalizing our knowledge base.


AN APPROACH

centered on fairness, integrity, and authenticity; innovation and putting people–including employees and customers–first.


A DIVERSE AND INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT

that fosters belonging while allowing our people to be their individual selves.


A BELIEF

that our greatest role is in service to others. Every person should contribute more than they cost. Every person should seek out the best opportunities for repeatedly profitable, scalable approaches to every line of business, every activity from finance and accounting to marketing and consumer engagement.


A CENTRAL POINT

of empowerment that ensures our leaders be the best versions of themselves physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spirituality so as to to focus on better decision making.

Our Approach to Growth

GoDigital Media Group has developed an ecosystem approach and continues to innovate for tomorrow’s business universe. What is now commonly referred to as the “three C’s” approach - content, community, and commerce, creates both a directional flow for the customer journey that fosters direct revenue growth, as well as an ecosystem that operates in a flywheel effect to the benefit of all components. This is what creates an infrastructure like business with a technology-based upside.

Content: Evergreen IP is a validated, scalable model with strong fundamentals. IP becomes content that drives first-party consumer interaction and millions of individual first-party data points and profiles.

Community: People connect through the content and activities they engage. Cultivating those communities generates more revenue and prevents disintermediation.

Commerce: Commerce is driven by need, and by a sense of connection - funneling our communities into commerce drives higher conversion rates at lower costs

The ecosystem isn’t just a one-way funnel, it also feeds back into a loop. Commerce creates a sense of community through shared purpose. Monetization of IP fuels greater overall value. The entire system operates as a flywheel with multiple drivers of growth within and across businesses. And we have an 18-year proven management track record without traditional founder limitations.

Our Impact

In the year 2000, GDMG forecast the paradigm shift from physical goods to digital goods, and from landline phones and CD players to smartphones. This was three years before iTunes and the iPod. Five years before the iPhone and YouTube. We became one of the original players in digital music, signing Master P. We built GDMG from there, becoming the first company to monetize music on YouTube. GDMG developed its own digital content distribution system, ContentBridge, now the digital backbone of companies like Disney and Studio 100. We built a global resourcing model that few companies of our size have, diversifying across the globe with cost effectiveness. For two decades we have innovated, developed, and deployed institutional knowledge in the “GoDigital Way” for how we do everything. It is that process which not only drove the company’s growth for the last 18 years, but which forms the backbone of its trajectory going forward - an infrastructure business with the upside of an technology business.
