The challenge that many of our celebrities have is to create sites that they can be directly involved in creating and maintaining themselves.   Many of today's leading celebrities are only beginning to realize the scope of the increasing unauthorized use of their name and likeness by thousands of fan created web sites.   We develop unique partnerships with each of our celebrities to help them solve this problem by creating their own comprehensive marketing and promotional strategy for each of their websites".
