EconSM Countdown: Listen Or Die, With FunnyOrDie Founder & CEO
This story was written by Elizabeth Osder.
FunnyOrDie, arguably one of the highest profile celebrity-backed online video sites, just completed its one-year anniversary, and about 200 million video views later, a 3-year old is its biggest star. From the first video with Will Ferrell-backed site, the company has now spawned into an "OrDie" franchise, including a skateboarding site with Tony Hawk, ShredOrDie.com, and BlueCollarOrDie.com, a more Southern-style comedy site with Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy. As this AP story says, more offshoots are planned, including the soon-to-be-announced EatDrinkOrDie.com with celebrity chefs.
Come hear Dick Glover, CEO, and Chris Henchy, one of the co-founders, discuss the site, the company, and learnings one year down the road, at our Economics of Social Media conference on April 29th, at Skirball Center in Los Angeles.
