Headquarted in Los Angeles, Califonia, Experience Media Consulting Group was founded by George Merlis, whose media career spans three decades.

Beginning as a newspaper reporter and city editor, Merlis moved on to television and served as an ABC News investigative producer and then as executive producer of Good Morning America, the CBS Morning News and Entertainment Tonight.

Merlis has personally overseen more than 10,000 broadcast and print interviews. An active non-fiction television producer, Merlis won a national Emmy Award in 2000. He has been nominated for the prestigious award nine times.

Merlis' first Emmy nomination led him into speaker and media training:

"Our show, Good Morning America, lost. Instead of feeling disappointed, I was relieved because I would not have to make an acceptance speech or do media interviews. Then I thought, 'Wait a minute; I'm in the media myself. Why am I nervous about interviews and public speaking? Why should anyone be nervous?' That was when I began developing the Experience Technique."

That technique has guided fifteen years of successful media and presentation training.
