John DePalma of JCD Consulting Group recently joined the Board of Directors at Star Shoutout, a first-to-market fundraising fan engagement platform for athletes, celebrities and influencers of all types. Specifically, he will act as a Strategic Advisor to help the company accelerate growth through investor relations and engagement, vision and strategy realization, value targeting and opportunity prioritization, and product evangelism and marketing.
Star Shoutout is a fan engagement platform that connects athletes, celebrities, influencers and charities to their global fan base via mobile and social media. For a charitable donation, the app sends a short video shout-out, or Star Shoutout (SSO), from the chosen persona directly to a fan.
David Werner, founder of The Star Shoutout Foundation, says, “Our goal is to create a worldwide premium, fan engagement experience that is both fun and rewarding to all parties involved while raising much-needed funds for causes that make a difference.”
“I’m excited to be an advisor, investor and contributing member of the Star Shoutout board as we seek to disrupt traditional charitable giving and fundraising practices. David has assembled a world-class team and, together, we will make a meaningful difference in the personal and professional lives of fans, athletes, celebrities and influencers around the globe through an innovative fan engagement platform,” says John.
