Ckrush Social Helps Brands Authentically Harness the Power of Social Media
NEW YORK, NY--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 15, 2008 --
Ckrush Inc. (OTC BB:CKRU.OB - News), an entertainment and social media content company, announced the formation of Ckrush Social, an agency dedicated to helping brands harness the power of social media in an authentic fashion. Ckrush has close to one million registered users across three of their own social media properties -- Audiostreet.net, Mixstreet.net and LiveMansion.com. Potentially using these users as a base, Ckrush Social can "prime the pump" for new social networks and use their experience and insight to shepard brands through the complicated social media space.
"The hardest part of building a successful social media property is obtaining the first twenty-five thousand users," says Jonathan Ressler, Chief Marketing Officer of Ckrush, Inc. "By tapping into our network of a million users, we virtually guarantee that any new social media property, whether it is a social network, mobile application, video sharing or anything else, will have tens of thousands of users within a few months which can translate to a cost savings in the millions of dollars in marketing spend."
This strategy has already been proven successful for the launch of the Hard Rock Hotel San Diego. Ckrush's emerging band social media property, Audiostreet.net launched an online battle of the bands where the Grand Prize was opening for the Black Eyed Peas at the grand opening party for the hotel. Over the course of 4 months, close to 5,000 bands signed up for the competition and reached over 15 million targeted consumers who participated in the program.
In addition to social networks, Audiostreet.net, Mixstreet.net and LiveMansion.com, Ckrush also produced 3 major motion pictures in the past 18 months including Artie Lange's "Beer League," "Pledge This" starring Paris Hilton and "TV the Movie" from Steve O and the team at "Jackass." Ckrush is also the group behind "Live Mansion The Movie," the first feature film produced by an online community. The film, which was cast online, is being Executive Produced by industry legend Spike Lee. Ckrush has also executed online promotions utilizing their social media properties for Paramount, Universal, Hard Rock, Michael Eisner's Tornante Company and many other major entertainment brands.
