Sibling
Group Holdings, an educational technology holding company, announced that it
has an agreement with intentions to acquire Urban Planet Media &
Entertainment Corp., the operator of the Urban Planet Mobile™ education
software platform, a private mobile media company focused on creating content
and solutions in education, healthcare and literacy.
Urban
Planet Mobile™ was co-founded in 2007 by its Chief Executive Officer Brian
Oliver-Smith to create products that make use of digital technology and mobile
devices to reach all people, at any location – particularly those with limited
or no access to high-quality education. Winner of five global awards for mobile
learning, including the GSMA Global Mobile Award for Best Mobile Learning
Innovation, UPM creates and distributes content for English language learners, and
recently expanded into other areas such as literacy and mobile health.
Maurine
Findley, CEO of Sibling commented, “We are very excited about the prospects of
combining the operations of Urban Planet Mobile and Sibling Group. UPM has a
great reputation, a strong team, and a proven track record of global sales and
marketing. UPM has seen significant growth in emerging markets with education
solutions that meet the needs of those countries. By combining UPM with our
Blended Schools Network operations we will solidify our position as a leader in
education solutions. UPM’s management team, led by Brian Oliver-Smith, will
make an excellent addition to the Sibling Group family. The UPM acquisition
continues the Sibling Group goal of leveraging technology and high quality
content to reach all students, which drives value for all stakeholders.”
Sibling
Group Holdings, by way of its wholly owned subsidiary Blended Schools Network
(BSN), provides quality online curriculum for the K-12 marketplace.
Additionally, the company offers complete hosted course authoring tools,
professional development for teachers and a learning management system (LMS)
environment. Sibling Group Holdings is focused on growing its market share
through new product development to meet the global trend towards using
educational technology to boost student performance.
