Look Ma'...we're on TV!

In our efforts to brand the hell out of Taltopia, we have decided to enter the world of Television advertising. We have considered doing this for some time now, but really had no clue where to begin. Google has started offering a TV Ad marketplace which is pretty cool, but currently only offers national advertising campaigns. Since we want to ensure that our ads are being shown to the most relevant audience, we decided to research the ad marketplace in Los Angeles.

So, Anthony and I got on the phones and started contacting Los Angeles cable television networks which include Charter Communications, Time Warner Cable, and Comcast. We also had the option of using Spotrunner.com, but found it to be too expensive. We found it was muuuuuch cheaper to work directly with the cable networks - cut out the middleman.

Time Warner had a pretty sweet deal that we couldn't pass by. Our TV commercials are going to be aired 600 times a month in each of 3 major metro areas of LA for about 3 months on networks which include MTV, VH1, BET, ComedyCentral, and E!. Be sure to let us know if you see our commercial while watching!

With a little help...ok ALOT of help...from our editor friends, we were able to make two 15 second spots which will begin airing next week. Here is a sneak peak:

TV Commercial Winner - Famesource.com

It's official! Famesource has its first television commercial, and best of all, it was created by one of our very own users. Chris Miller, username "snakejohnson," is a lean mean animating machine!

The commercial will be aired multiple times a day on an international television channel for a period of 6 months. We feel that this commercial embodies what Famesource is all about...helping aspiring artists find the exposure they deserve.

TV Commercial - Help!?!?!

Now that Famesource has begun to gain some public awareness, its about that time for us to put together a TV commercial advertising what we have to offer. Although Anthony and I are prepared to get behind a camera and start shooting, we decided it was best to let our talented users submit their stuff...we are a user-generated website after all!

Here are some guidelines - the commercial needs to be about 10-seconds long. We ask that you try to incorporate our logo and slogan ("claim your fame!") at some point in the clip. Make it funny, make it quirky, act out a skit, show-off your animation skills, pretty much anything goes. We will be accepting submissions over the next few weeks. You can email what you come up with to famesource@gmail.com

What's in it for you? Well, if your clip is chosen we will throw a few famebucks your way (you can use those to bid on the Wall of Fame) and you will also be featured on Famesource.com - most importantly, your clip will be all over TV!

Here is our first user submission. Think you can do better? Lets see what you got!

Fame...TV?

Yea, you read it correctly...FameTV!

We are currently working on a deal that will give our "fame-hungry" users the chance to be on a user generated satellite TV channel! This is very exciting for us all because it's such an amazing way to gain exposure...and best of all, its going to be FREE for Famesource.com members!

How will it work? Very simple, you check a box on the Upload page that says you want to be on FameTV...we'll handle the rest. FameTV - coming soon!
