1. Going Social: New Media Marketing Company Launches to Fill
Growing Online Gap
Paparazzi Online Media premiers to bridge traditional advertising with web savvy
solutions
Dallas, TX (January 14, 2010) – Paparazzi Online Media debuts today to offer online
marketing solutions to new and growing companies. The Dallas-based partnership aims
to leverage social media outlets like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube for
clients who are looking to grow their businesses via social networks, the growing
marketing sector that’s taking the traditional word-of-mouth beyond.
Paparazzi was founded by marketing professionals Erica Leake and Amber Hauptman.
The long-time friends and marketers decided to turn their passions for brand
awareness, analytics and emerging media into a venture with the continued boom of
online and social media marketing. With reports positioning 2009 as a huge year in the
surge of online and social media marketing, Paparazzi sees this venture as a viable
opportunity to grow a profitable company while helping clients succeed in growing their
businesses.
A 2009 TrendSpotting article from Mashable.com reports a near unanimous prediction
for 2010 of two ideas from many social media industry experts: “businesses finally
integrating social media and seeing an actual ROI, and a shrinking/customization of the
online world.” Paparazzi’s mission takes this prediction a step further and aims to provide
online brand visibility for companies, giving new and small businesses the presence of a
brand giant and conforming big businesses into forward-thinking industry leaders.
“As advertisers, we’re now using the web as a means to not only speak to customers, but
also to listen,” said Leake. “The empowerment it provides the customer fuels them with
brand loyalty induced from the interaction available through an open line of
communication.” This interaction provides invaluable information for companies to use
to constantly improve upon products and services.
Setting Paparazzi apart from the traditional marketing agency is their ability to track and
optimize campaigns in real-time. Though the tracking capabilities of web marketing are
not new, they have evolved and become more sophisticated. Partners Hauptman and
Leake cite their dedication to continual optimization, based on report analysis, as a leg up
on traditional and online marketing companies. While many agencies produce a report
upon campaign completion showing the success metrics, or lack thereof, Paparazzi’s
daily reporting analysis allows them to optimize clients’ campaigns and ultimately their
marketing budgets.
“A few years ago, online marketing, especially social media marketing, was primarily
geared toward companies whose client base consisted largely of Gen-X’ers,” said
Hauptman. “Since the web has become so accessible over the past few years and such a
vital communication medium, it is imperative that companies focus much of their

2. communication strategy online. Even more traditional industries by nature are forced to
re-think the way they are communicating with their customers.”
