ASE Talent Agency Adds Aggressive, Future-Focused Social Media Division

Beverly Hills, CA (I-Newswire) October 26, 2011 - Ascend Sports & Entertainment (ASE), a boutique talent agency in Beverly Hills, has launched a new Social Media Division to increase the visibility of its top-tier clients in the social sphere. Veteran marketing maven Jody Salamirad will lead the newly created department as Chief Digital Strategist. Salamirad’s background includes 15 years of experience in new media, where she held a variety of roles, including Vice President for Western Region Sales at Six Apart, a respected blog solutions provider.

Utilizing creative strategies and emerging technologies, the new Social Media Division will connect clients with their target audiences through blogging, original video content, and other compelling content that showcases their client’s unique brand strengths. The new department has been designed to enhance the agency’s established advanced marketing and public relations efforts and maximize public awareness of its clients across all channels.

Founder and President Noah Lookofsky—who served as a top negotiator for NBC Universal, E! Entertainment Television, and International Creative Management before opening ASE in 2006—remarked, “I am incredibly excited about this expansion. ASE is committed to ongoing innovation, and this new division reinforces that drive. Jody’s well-rounded approach to online marketing, and clear view of the future of social, will ensure our position on the forefront of talent agencies.”

ASE’s Social Media Division will break ground by integrating social media tools (e.g. custom Facebook fan pages, personalized Twitter accounts, branded blogs, and YouTube channels) with traditional identity design strategies (e.g. logo development, press kits, and promotions). The goal is to deepen meaningful connections with existing fans and broaden the reach of personalities through viral video, SEO-optimized posts, and high-profile activity on key networks.

With the introduction of another cutting-edge division, ASE continues to raise the bar in high-profile client representation. "It's important to build personal brands and strengthen the marketing platforms of our clients,” Lookofsky explained, “so that they can connect with, influence, and empower their fans and concentrate on what’s really important: to ascend to, and perform at, the very highest levels.”
