FeatureCast Named Scott Kramer President and CEO

Posted on July 6, 1998

FeatureCast, an idealab! company and syndicator on the Web, has named Scott Kramer as its new president and chief executive officer. Kramer will oversee the build-out of the company's syndication network, and the development and acquisition of content.

"We were thrilled to be able to find someone with Scott's talent, knowledge and background," said Bill Gross, ideally! founder and FeatureCast chairman. "Scott is well known as a leader in entertainment, publishing and new media circles, and we have full confidence that his abilities will catapult FeatureCast into the forefront of new media companies."

As the president of Buzz Inc., Kramer successfully built Buzz Magazine to become one of the fastest growing regional magazine in the country, as well as one of the top regional magazines in revenue growth and ad pages. Kramer developed new divisions including Buzz Books, Buzz Online and Buzz Weekly. Most recently, Buzz was sold to Fairchild Publications, a publishing division of Disney that owns the rival Los Angeles Magazine.

FeatureCast Inc. is the new media company resulting from the recent merger of two online entities: E-Ticket Inc., the brand licensing content publisher from idealab!, and Real Time Syndication Network (RTSN), a distributor of online syndicated packages.
