The company benefits considerably from its high calibre leadership. It is led by a solid, committed and experienced business professional with realistic aspirations and a track record in the industry.
Significantly the well-constructed business model generates profit by bringing together both:
- the massive appetite for online social and business networking, and
- the huge interest (as evidenced in a succession of talent-based reality TV shows) in the entertainment industry, including participation as amateur, semi professional or professional.
Income comes from selling a range of services that address the entertainment industry's multi-faceted marketplace:
- online social and business networking for professional artistes, aspiring entrants, enthusiasts etc
- marketplace for equipment, venues, services to artistes etc
- show and event ticket sales and promotion
- somewhere that booking agencies and others can find new and established professional talent
Also, packaged services can be created for individual corporate clients, such as the creation of entire events and conducting searches for particular physical resources or types of artiste.
An Executive Summary and a detailed Business Plan are available.
