Last night, I hosted a private ‘Sneak Peek’ event at AMP3 Headquarters to preview the soon-to-be-launched Blazetrak.com for a select group of trendsetting friends across the media, tech, music, fashion and entertainment verticals.

With savory hors d’oeuvres, wine courtesy of VOGA, and mini cupcakes from The Cupcake Stop, guests listened in as co-founding partners Corey Stanford, Nate Casey, and Ron Harrison presented a demo of the Blazetrak website to the crowd.

Blazetrak.com aims to connect aspiring hopefuls (aka: Users) with established celebrity talent (aka: Professionals), in exchange for GUARANTEED video feedback, in a guaranteed amount of time.  Users are able to search a huge database of highly sought-after (and until now, untouchable) professionals, sift through the types of “submissions” these pros are currently accepting, and select a relevant opportunity for which to submit.  Pros are able to scout and catalog talent for their upcoming projects and monetize their expertise by providing invaluable feedback to these users who would normally never get the chance to present to them, otherwise.

Guests at the Sneak Peek included: Kelly Samardak (MediaPost’s Just An Online Minute),  Matt Caldecutt (Paint the Town Red), Andrew Graham (Greentarget), Brett Petersel (Mashable), Nate Westheimer (organizer of the New York Tech Meetup),  Tiffany Winbush (Publicist), Dave Ford (Founder of Branded Evolution), Michael Gruen (Author of Twitter for Dummies), Yuli Ziv (Co-founder of My It Things & Fashion 2.0), Bob Bland (Founder of Brooklyn Royalty and The Arsenal), Delaina Dixon (TV reporter), Maegan Carberry (Truu Confessions / Media Personality), Charlie Oliver (Founder of ArtofTalk.tv), Brenda Dargan (Partnership Producer for MarthaStewart.com), Jessica Bailis (Digital Marketing at Universal Music Group), and Jenny Muller (writer for Sephora.com).

Blazetrak is set to launch on September 15th, 2009.  For more information on the launch you can contact me here.
