IAG Announces Development Partnerships
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Jan. 31, 2012) - InterAmerican Gaming Inc. ("IAG" or "the Company") (PINKSHEETS:IAGM) has announced that it has retained Toronto-based Endloop Mobile as its mobile development partner for SoFit Mobile Inc. ("SoFit", formerly Nowphit Operations Inc.), creator of the forthcoming SoFit social gaming platform that empowers individuals to improve their health and fitness. IAG has also partnered with Toronto's Spark Innovations for hardware design and engineering of the proprietary SoFit transmitter and harness components.
"We are excited to announce our partnership with Endloop and Spark," says Marc Askenasi, President and CEO of IAG. "We feel that Endloop's premium brand of mobile expertise is exactly what SoFit needs to be a success." Endloop was named one of the Digital Media companies to watch by Marketing Magazine (September 2011), and has developed mobile apps for brands like Subway, Reactine, and the Rethink Breast Cancer Foundation.
"Spark has over two decades of experience building innovative products for the health and fitness space," Mr. Askenasi says. "They've attained over 200 US patents and worked with brands like Adidas, Burton, and Nike. SoFit is not just a mobile app, there are physical components that complete the platform. To get those right we need a company like Spark to ensure we're constantly innovating the way the mobile software and physical hardware connect."
IAG has also disclosed that Nowphit Operations Inc. ("Nowphit") has officially changed its name to SoFit Mobile Inc. "We had settled on Nowphit before we started working with Endloop and Spark," explains Mr. Askenasi. "It was a working title and at the time of conception it best-represented what the platform was all about. After a number of internal branding sessions and consulting with experts in the creative and branding space, we collectively agreed that SoFit, which is short for Social Fitness, is more appropriate and lends itself to a larger brand strategy that will be illustrated as we roll out the program."
