Your cellphone is coming out!
A new mobile content portal for the gay and lesbian community called Medialicious.TV has just launched.
Featuring original ringtones and wallpapers from leading LGBT and LGBT-friendly celebrities, musicians, comedians and artists, the Medialicious initiative evolved from changes in the media industry that have opened up opportunities for new voices to tell their stories.
Medialicious has partnered with creative talent that has a passionate fan base eager to embrace new products. “The fans are our best marketing tool”, says CEO Carolyn Coal. “We’ve signed acts like The Gay Mafia, Melissa Ferrick and Lisp and their audiences are ecstatic."
With community and interactive features including guest blogs, an original podcast interview series called Behind the Tone and viral videos, Medialicious intends to become a daily destination for online audiences seeking original programming they can consume at their desks or on the go.
