Jango Partners with Seventeen.com to Create Co-Branded Celebrity Music Widgets: Jango Deploys Special Edition Celebrity DJ Widgets for Sev
NEW YORK (Business Wire EON) May 5, 2008 -- Kicking off the partnership, Seventeen.com will launch a collection of special edition Celebrity DJ Jukeboxes, featuring the favorite summer music personally selected by today's hottest artists, including Rihanna, Ashlee Simpson, Pete Wentz (of Fall Out Boy), Taylor Swift, Brendon Urie (of Panic at the Disco!), and American Idol winner Jordin Sparks. Wrapped in a stylish skin specifically designed for each Celebrity DJ, the hip, new Jukeboxes display an eye-catching, animated filmstrip of scrolling artist images. The widgets are to go live today on Seventeen.com and will be featured in the magazine's June issue (hitting newsstands May 6).
Not only can Seventeen readers tune in and listen right from Seventeen.com (http://seventeen.com/playlist) they can also post their favorite celebrity Jukebox to play directly on their MySpace and Facebook pages as well as any personal Web site or blog. The widgets can also be integrated into other online destinations including Xanga, Live Journal, iGoogle, Friendster, Piczo, TypePad, Dashboard, Vista, MyYearbook and more.
"This application helps the Seventeen brand live beyond the pages of the magazine, adding an even deeper level of interactivity and integration to the feature," said Seventeen Editor in Chief Ann Shoket. "The Jango Jukeboxes are not only fun and functional; we also expect these music widgets to be highly effective in driving referral traffic back to Seventeen.com."
"The partnership between Jango and Seventeen is a natural fit - as we share much of the same audience," said Jango CEO Dan Kaufman. "With widgets, syndication, and viral marketing playing such a vital role in both the publishing and music industries - there is great, mutual benefit in adapting the Jango Jukebox to help drive Seventeen's editorial and promotional initiatives. We are also tremendously excited to co-brand and cross-promote with an established, influential media outlet such as Seventeen - not to mention this incredible group of music celebrities."
