Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
25 years
What is your primary product or service?
We recruit celebrities for special events and PR/marketing/advertising campaigns.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I used to head up a speakers bureau for a major national non-profit organization. When I decided to leave that organization I was recruited by a celebrity booking agency which dealt specifically with matching celebrities with non-profits. I loved it and became a limited partner in the business. The partnership lasted 3.5 years and 25 years ago I started The Celebrity Source. Most of our clients are corporate but cause-related marketing still remains my most favorite types of accounts.
