Bengals wide-out Chad Ochocinco plans to produce a new NFL news network to keep fans updated on the latest happenings within the league. The network is aptly titled Ochocinco News Network, OCNN, and news will be released through Twitter. One of the brands who he has a sponsorship deal with, Motorolla, will provide the technology. #85 is clearly very business savvy, he’s already got an iPhone app out, and now this. From Motorolla’s standpoint, this a good move for them as well.
Motorola is using the venture to promote its MOTOBLUR technology. Ochocinco will use one of the company’s Cliq mobile devices for his new social network. Motorola marketing officer Bill Ogle said Ochocinco “brings order and clarity to a multifaceted lifestyle as a professional athlete, entertainer and devoted social networker.”
I’ll definitely be getting my news from Ochocinco when his new network comes out. I love the guy. He’s hilarious. Now if only he would focus as much on football as he did on business. I need those fantasy points!
This is my first post in while! I tweeted about this video last night but I figured I would share it on the blog as well, because it’s very well put together. As much as everyone talks about the changing media landscape, no one has really done a good job at making a powerful video that shows its impact. The Economist, in partnership with XPLANE, has done just that.
