The magazine is an online product that will go to print once the readership increases to a desired level. In the mean time the online site will  feature enhanced content with the current issue available for download. The first issue will be released in July 2010 with monthly releases thereafter.

Florida Russian Magazine is part of a larger media project that American Experience is developing.  The project will fill the empty market space for Russian speaking residents and those abroad who want to learn more about life in Florida. “We are working toward multiple channels of information and entertainment to connect and inform the Russian speaking community.” said, Jef Gray, CEO of American Experience. “We had to get all the content into the Russian language including a recruiting effort for Russian writers, editors, photographers and advertisers. Now we’re about to release our premier issue!”, said Jef Gray, CEO of American Experience.

The magazine is the starting point, then a dating site, an online Radio and TV channel will follow. All content will be in the Russian Language and written from the perspective of Russians living in Florida.

“It’s going to offer a great value for Russian speakers as they can find a range of media from print to TV and Radio in one place.” said Natalya Illarionova, President of American Experience.

The architecture of the media project will be funded by an advertising service that provides access to the media channels. An advertiser can choose from print, TV, radio, dating site ads or all of them to maximize their brand awareness, product or service. Additionally, the ads will have a detail history to show how many times they were clicked or viewed.

“The advantage of having multiple places to present an ad to a target audience is great, but our tracking features that will also provide statistics on the ad’s success. Clients may want to try two different ads to see which one gets the most response. Overall it will help businesses focus their advertising costs and increase sales.”, said Jef Gray.

The online portal for the Russian magazine can be viewed at FloridaRussian.com.

Founded in 2007, American Experience is a Florida Corporation offering VIP tours, Interpreters, Translators, Visa Kit’s, International TV (IPTV), Russian Media-Print, Radio and TV, Business. and Web Consulting.

American Experience is expanding its presence on the social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. The movement has been gradual with fan pages and twitter accounts appearing over time but now a more focused approach is taking place to improve brand recognition and attract more clients. American Experience has over 10 websites that define the various business lines offered by the corporation but the integration with social media has been limited-until now.

“The rise of social media has given new opportunity to build our corporate presence and brand recognition for popular business channels like Florida Tur and the Russian Culture Society. We’re also excited to use it as a launch point for our new startups. For example, the staff that builds and maintains our websites, called “Cold Pizza Design“, are now providing those services to more companies as a business service. Then we have a new social mixer project, called “International Introductions of Orlando” that will host events to connect local foreign singles with eligible mates.” explained Jef Gray, CEO of American Experience.

In the past a site was designed and optimized to reach audiences through search engine results and linking strategies. However, the time required for success is greatly reduced when combined with the familiarity and viral nature of Social media.

“Having fan pages or online profiles is a popular way to alert clients to deals, promotions and events without having to send them unwanted mail. There is also value in the feedback we see that inspires others to post comments or ideas.” said Natalya Illarionova, President of American Experience.

About the Czech Language
Spoken by over 12 million people, the Czech language developed from the Proto-Slavic language at the close of the 1st millennium. “čeština” or Czech, is derived from a Slavic tribe of Czechs that inhabited Central Bohemia and united the neighbouring Slavic tribes under the reign of the Přemyslid dynasty. According to a legend, it is derived from the Forefather Čech, who brought the tribe of Czechs into its land.

“The combination of those three languages gives more diversity to suit our Arabic clients needs”, said Jef Gray, CEO of American Experience. “We know the dominant requests will be Arabic to English translation, but having a choice of English or Hebrew further extends our footprint.”

The service leverages the speed of the Internet for transmitting documents to Israel for the actual translation work, then back to American Experience for final delivery to the client. “A decade ago this would have been a less likely scenario”, said Natalya Illarionova, President of American Experience. “But now we conduct 90% of our collaborative work with colleagues in other cities or countries.”

Arabic document translation can be requested via the linguistic portal of American Experience at www.InterpretOrlando.com

About the Arabic Language

About the Japanese Language:

The Japanese language is written with a combination of three different types of scripts: modified Chinese characters called kanji (漢字), and two syllabic scripts made up of modified Chinese characters, hiragana (平仮名) and katakana (片仮名). The Latin alphabet, rōmaji (ローマ字), is also often used in modern Japanese, especially for company names and logos, advertising, and when entering Japanese text into a computer. Western style Arabic numerals are generally used for numbers, but traditional Sino-Japanese numerals are also commonplace (see Japanese numerals).

Japanese vocabulary has been heavily influenced by loanwords from other languages. A vast number of words were borrowed from Chinese, or created from Chinese models, over a period of at least 1,500 years. Since the late 19th century, Japanese has borrowed a considerable number of words from Indo-European languages, primarily English. Because of the special trade relationship between Japan and first Portugal in the 16th century, and then mainly the Netherlands in the 17th century, Portuguese and Dutch have also been influential.

“This is a very exciting addition to our language market because there are so many countries where Portuguese is spoken. We look forward to serving both the translation and interpreter needs of clients who may reside in the Orlando area or those visiting on business or vacation”, said Jef Gray, CEO of American Experience.

About the Portuguese Language

Portuguese is one of the world’s major languages, ranked 6th according to number of native speakers (between 191 and 230 million). Considered to be a Romance language, Portuguese originated in what is now Galicia and northern Portugal. It is derived from the Latin spoken by the romanized Pre-Roman peoples of the Iberian Peninsula around 2000 years ago. It spread worldwide in the 15th and 16th centuries as Portugal established a colonial and commercial empire (1415–1999) which spanned from Brazil in the Americas to Goa and other parts of India, Macau in China and Timor (north of Australia). It was used as the exclusive lingua franca on the island of Sri Lanka for almost 350 years. During that time, many creole languages based on Portuguese also appeared around the world, especially in Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean.

“With each service or product there is a connection with professional language skills and travel. The road ahead is already taking shape as we add a diversity of translators and languages.” said Natalya Illarionova, President of American Experience. “The recent addition of Romanian and Hebrew are just the start, we are about to present Japanese, Czech and Portuguese services!”

Over the last 3 years the tour service became a platform for new business opportunity, including business interpreters, group tours, and alliances with other companies. “Our standards for native speaking experts attracted other agencies who wanted a trustworthy company to receive their clients in Orlando. Most of our affiliates don’t have offices in Orlando, making it difficult for them to resolve issues that arise while their clients are here. Now they can rely on us to be an extension of their company on a local level.” said Jef Gray, CEO of American Experience. “Today American Experience has affiliates in Moscow, Yekaterinburg, Israel, New York, Toronto, Miami and California.”

American Experience was recently interviewed by WebMir.tv for their development of the Russian community and their successful tour business. “We are proud of our efforts to help Russians feel welcome in Central Florida. It’s really great to see them make friends, find specific services in Russian and of course build a life here in the community”, said Gray, who also serves as director of the Russian Society.

“We clearly have a demonstrated ability to provide a service for foreign clients (visiting or relocating) to enjoy Orlando in their native language. It might be a tour, document translation or a business interpreter at the convention center. Whatever they need, we can remove the language barrier with courtesy and professionalism” said Natalya Illarionova.
