New Social Networks for Celebrity-Seekers

I Wanna Be On®, the pioneering media analysis and production company, launches over sixty social network research platforms to evaluate how main stream media impacts the pursuit of celebrity.

“Considering the Salahis and Balloon Boy news phenomena, we applied our proprietary media research methods to identify the social network platforms that currently have a major impact on celebrity-seeking behavior,” stated Professor Vincent Presti, the company’s CEO.

These networks include: (i) Tech Platforms, such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, and iTunes; (ii) News Platforms, such as TechCrunch, Gawker, The Today Show, and Variety; (iii) Talk Show Platforms, such as Oprah, Larry King, Jay Leno, The View, Jon Stewart, and Ellen; (iv) Retail Platforms, such as Amazon, eBay, Craigslist, and QVC; and (v) TV Network Platforms, such as ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, SyFy, MTV, VH1, BET, Logo, Lifetime, Showtime, and HBO.

I Wanna Be On® has also expanded its consulting services to include Personality Packaging, a ground-breaking exercise in imaginative self-expression to develop effective cross-platform media campaigns.

“It’s an exciting time for all our media projects as the company’s strategic relationships evolve and expand our co-producing opportunities,” concluded Professor Presti. I Wanna Be On® is working on numerous cross-platform media projects, such as I Wanna Be On® Talk Radio, I Wanna Be On®: The Documentary (tracing Professor Presti’s appearances), and I Wanna Be On® Broadway.
