TORONTO, CANADA and LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA and NEW YORK, NEW YORK--(Marketwire - June 19, 2012) - Intertainment Media Inc. (TSX VENTURE:INT)(OTCQX:ITMTF)(FRANKFURT:I4T) ("Intertainment" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its world leading real time global communications experiential platform, Ortsbo (www.ortsbo.com) has begun operations to provide enhanced commercial offerings allowing organizations to enable customized global language preferences and marketing services into their eCommerce platforms and strategies. These services will be offered on a fee for services basis and / or as a co-operative platform allowing Ortsbo to benefit from increased global sales and receive a percentage of revenue from these programs. Ortsbo already has a number of opportunities underway with expectations of launching pilot platforms later this summer. This program also dovetails into Ortsbo's strategy of initiating alternatives to advertising for its growing base of global users.

According to Capture Commerce, although the US and Canada lead ecommerce spending globally, consumers in other countries are increasingly shopping online. Worldwide ecommerce spending is projected to increase by more than 90 percent by 2014. A sizable portion of that growth is expected to come from Latin America, where the amount spent online is projected to more than double.

The Capture Commerce estimates of annual ecommerce spending, in billions for 2014 will be:

--  North America $202.8 Billion 

--  Western Europe $166.5 Billion 

--  Asia-Pacific $93.2 Billion 

--  Latin America $27.1 Billion 

--  Eastern Europe & Russia $27.0 Billion 

--  Australia $4.9 Billion 

--  Africa & The Middle East $3.0 Billion 

With respect to user language preference when engaging eCommerce and other online opportunities, users have indicated that they have a strong preference to engage and complete transactions online in their own language. Ortsbo's real time language platform, with micro domain services, allows customization of the client's proprietary terms and phraseology, providing a unique opportunity for online merchants to customize offerings, marketing messaging and emails in real time with multiple languages to create a real time experience to consumers in their preferred language without significant increase in resources or staffing by the merchant.
