NotaBeneMedia, the media arm of NotaBeneTV, will serve as a creative hub for our clients to utilize social media access, distribution and exposure of our broadcasting, e-commerce, internet partners and celebrity cast members. The service is very similar to that of a mediator: one who bridges the gap by introducing our clients to our platinum network, all while staying true to who we are: content creators!
In this capacity, NotaBeneMedia will create polished content, provide cultural narratives, and conduct the necessary detailed research. Our clients, those seeking access to the Greater China region, will be linked with our celebrity cast members and partnered with our luxury brand partners, and will discover many profound and fruitful social media platform partnerships with them. NotaBeneMEDIA will also provide a niche editorial space for journalists, through NotaBeneTV’s media partners, creating a constant for new content and conversation always!
It is often understood that those who are creative — those who compile and devise creative works of any kind — MUST find the balance between creativity and global viability. Without it, you are left with just a great idea! LinkedIN, for us, is the perfect home to execute that balance and communicate our news.
Why, you may ask? Because we believe it is the only social media network that represents real-world senior executive-level professional relationships with an gated-access business approach.” -Nicole C. Brown, CEO and Founder, NotaBeneTV.
