Initiate Media is one of the world’s leading independent Christian media companies. As a non-denominational organization, we seek to make God famous – and relevant – throughout the world.
Initiate Media produces a range of media products and services to achieve our vision. Our team, based across the globe, are all focused on our goal of producing ‘world’s-best’ media, with the aim of spreading the word of God.
Initiate Media was formed in May 2003 when a young Christian couple acquired what was at the time Australia’s leading non-denominational Christian magazine: Alive magazine. Neither of them had a desire to be in Christian media, but a chance meeting with the publisher of Alive saw them take on the reins in what would simply be a side ministry while they focused on other business activities.
Nicole left her job in marketing at a large church to run the magazine, which was quickly followed up with the acquisition of Christian Woman magazine, the Christian Business Directory, owned and published by Hillsong, and with a further string of acquisitions and launches, the company quickly became the southern hemisphere’s leading Christian publisher.
Since its inception, Initiate Media is now a globally recognized company, with a team based globally.
Their faith story of building a business without debt has been documented in a book titled NOT Business As Usual.
Over the years we have developed a range of print and digital media products, successfully navigating the difficult transition from being a print-based publishing company, into becoming a digital first media company.
In this current age Initiate Media sees the majority of its revenues flowing from its agency and services businesses, as well as publishing. We build websites, apps, and provide publishing and print management services to authors, churches, businesses and non-profits globally.
While we are a digital first company, our services business sees millions of print units dispatched globally each year.
The Internet, including technology like iPads and ebooks, has given media companies the opportunity to open up new markets and areas that were once not possible. With the team we have, coupled with our knowledge and experience in both print and online media, the future has never looked brighter.
