Jaime Hazan, founder of New York Interactive, Inc., today announced the launch of a newly created website http://www.I-Want-To-Be-The-Apprentice.com.
NEW YORK, NY,(PRWEB) March 17 2004-- Hazan hopes the new site – built with the donated time and resources of his biggest supporters - will score him a spot as a contestant on Season Two of the NBC hit show The Apprentice."
Its not enough to simply send in a tape," Hazan said. Youve got to demonstrate ambition and perseverance - really putting yourself out there and taking a creative risk.
I turned to my close friends, family and colleagues for help with creating a personal promotion website and an audition video," he added I am enormously grateful for everyones generosity and support."
The previously unknown Committee to get Jaime Hazan on the Apprentice" is banking on the viral nature of the Web to spread their message. Among the sites features:
· Free video clips of Jaimes audition tape in Microsofts Windows Media Format and Apples Quicktime (streaming services donated by Michael Imbruce of Convergent Network Services);
· A moderated Blog", which allows users to post their thoughts directly to the site;
· An anecdotal real-time Hair Poll For Men", allowing users to vote on which power-broker hairstyle works best in business, Donald Trumps well-groomed hair or Jaimes bald head?
· Individual pictures of the Jaimes Team.
We built a website that will help Jaime get his message around the world" said Mike Wu, the teams resident Web Guy." But it was Mitch Lemus, a Creative Director at a major New York City ad agency, who conceived the idea with Hazan.
It feels like were involved in a run for public office, but we dont want your votes," Lemus said. We want your links to our web site and your help building awareness around Jaime as a potential contestant."
Additional Web production team members consisted of Christopher Wenham, a systems integrator/database expert with art director credit, being shared by James P. Kimak and Hazan himself.
We told Jaimes story as creatively and accurately as possible," said Kimak, a force behind the audition video who helped keep the message concise and on target.
Jaimes Ithaca College roommate, Thomas Arundel, a Washington D.C.-based Web site traffic analyst, added: Jaime is the perfect candidate for this show, so I was glad to lend my resources to the team."
The video was edited at NY Interactives post-production facility in Long Island City, Queens.
Jaime will be waiting on line for a wristband at the open auditions this week on Thursday, March 18th at 40 Wall Street (enter on Pine), NY, NY 10005, at 7:00am
