Our focus will be about partnerships between celebrities + brands. We'll dig into specific deals and debate the merits of each program. We'll like some and have recommendations for others.
Welcome to our "all things" celebrity section. Expect questions and answer sessions with relevant talent, dialogue about who's hot/not and discussions about who brands should pay attention to.
We'll share news about upcoming celebrity appearances on national talk shows. Expect commentary on what they are promoting and why they are doing so every Monday morning.
Twitter is more than typing 140 characters. It is an incredible resource to engage with targeted people and to read (and learn) what experts are sharing. We'll focus on these experts on a regular basis.
Quite candidly, we needed a section that has flexibility as not all of our posts will fit in the other buckets. This may be the dark horse section of the blog. Look for unique takes on current events and ideas here.
We'll share tips, trends and insight for readers to enjoy - focusing on marketing principles as it relates to celebrity use. We're excited to see your comments on our thinking too.
We are often asked by the media, bloggers and conferences to discuss and provide opinions on celebrities, brands and the industry. Expect to see these stories, video clips and audio interviews.
Our team helps brands, their agencies and nonprofit organizations by assessing the business value of celebrities, negotiating smart partnerships and activating each program. We provide fast and accurate information and recommend talent based on many factors including their relevance, points of differentiation and cost. The results of our work are seen as television commercials, webisodes, publicity programs, YouTube posts, celebrity seeding, social media » Read More

See Adam Levine on Today (2/3), Blake Shelton on Jay Leno (2/2), and the whole crew (Adam, Blake, Christina Aguilera, and Cee-Lo Green) on Ellen (2/3).
