Publicity Hound Teri Brown of North Las Vegas, Nev., asks:
“Do you know if IMDbPro is a good resource for finding current contact info on celebrities? They charge $19.95 on a month-to-month basis or less yearly. My main concern is current info. Have you heard anything about them one way or the other?”
The Publicity Hound says:
I know about them, Teri, but I can’t offer an opinion because I don’t know anyone who uses them. IMDb includes extensive contact information (addresses, talent managers, publicists and legal representatives) for people and companies in the film and entertainment industry. They will not contact celebrities on your behalf or forward messages from you. You can get a free trial here.
If you have experience with this company, please comment below.
If no one knows about IMDb, is there another company anyone else uses that is a good resource?
Teresa, there’s ContactAnyCelebrity.com. There’s also Booking Agent Info and Celebrity Endorsers. See the recent blog post by Billy Bones at https://publicityhound.com/blog/3-ways-to-get-products-to-celebrities-hands
$49 a month for the ContactAnyCelebrity.com program. A bit steep compared to IMDb. It does sound like it’s updated frequently though, which is reassuring.
Yes, Teresa, those updates are super-valuable!
I use ContactAnyCelebrity myself but often do an internet search of the celeb’s name plus one of the following (agent or manager or publicist). I some times find these on the celeb’s official website as well. My big tip on communicating with the “gate-keepers” of celebs — communicate a mutually-beneficial business opportunity. If you don’t, they see it as a waste of time. I also find celebs and contact them directly on Twitter, Facebook or through their talent agency.
