IndieClick Network Signs an Exclusive Agreement With 'Everything Entertainment' Powerhouse HollywoodChicago.com

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 30, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- IndieClick, the leading lifestyle media network for integrated advertising campaigns, today announced its exclusive ad sales relationship with the comprehensive entertainment publication HollywoodChicago.com.

Founded in 2007, HollywoodChicago.com is a unique nationally focused "everything entertainment" Web publication with local roots.  The Chicago-based publication navigates a delicate balance between covering Hollywood's biggest films and stars along with the indie projects that deserve your attention.  

The entertainment news, review and interview source initially rose to widespread acclaim by exhaustively covering the $1 billion-grossing film "The Dark Knight" when it filmed in Chicago, the publication's backyard.  Just as the writers behind HollywoodChicago.com convinced rabid Batman fans of its must-read quality, the staff since then has focused on high-quality and high-quantity entertainment writing timed exactly to when readers want it most.

"As the traditional media conglomerates continue to scramble, we're proud to be an independent big fish in a small pond," said HollywoodChicago.com founder and publisher Adam Fendelman. "And that's why we click with IndieClick: they're big and represent us to the major entertainment spenders but still small and intimate enough to offer us personalized attention. Despite today's digital age, IndieClick executives regularly take the time to pick up the phone and meet in person."

The addition of HollywoodChicago.com to IndieClick's impressive film and entertainment channel extends IndieClick's total reach to 55 million monthly unique audience members across 250 of the Web's most important destinations.

"We are thrilled to welcome HollywoodChicago.com to the IndieClick network," said IndieClick President Heather Luttrell. "HollywoodChicago.com is highly respected with an important audience of entertainment enthusiasts and influencers and we are proud to represent that audience to our national brand and entertainment clients.  We are already receiving a great response from advertisers to HollywoodChicago.com.
