Rhodes Mason Joins SingingFool and VideoDetective

HADDON HEIGHTS, N.J., June 27 /PRNewswire/ -- SingingFool.com and VideoDetective.com announced the hiring of Rhodes Mason, formerly of Gyro Worldwide and Foote Cone & Belding, to oversee the two streaming video web sites' promotional efforts.

Rhodes will work closely with record labels and movie studios to create exciting content that informs and excites the 4.9 million monthly visitors to SingingFool and VideoDetective. Having formerly run two successful labels, Nuclear Blast America and his own Renegade Records, Rhodes understands the needs of entertainment producers trying to create "the next big thing."

Rhodes has assisted a number of national brands in positioning themselves as part of the entertainment experience while at the same time providing extensive promotion to new and upcoming acts. As a master of cross promotion, he will maximize the value of both sites by creating a win-win-win for consumers, producers and advertisers.

"Turning the vast and growing audience for streaming video into paying customers for movies, concerts, CDs, DVDs and legal downloads is all about creating FUN for the fans coming to our sites with the help of our partners," says Rhodes. "I am excited because millions of fans already use these sites to connect with new and exciting music and movies that they enjoy." He continues, "Unlike Yahoo! and AOL and Google, VideoDetective and SingingFool are not about searching, they are about finding."

VideoDetective and SingingFool share the same mission of empowering the entertainment consumer to find the things they will enjoy the most. In a world with hundreds of new releases, an independent guide not only saves time, it is essential to those whose idea of FUN is not the same thing every week.
