Leading NYC and Miami Nightlife Websites Join Forces

New York, NY – February 7, 2005 - Clubplanet.com, the world’s biggest nightlife resource, has acquired CoolJunkie.com, a leading nightlife website based in Miami.

Launched in Miami in November 2000, CoolJunkie.com has grown into one of the leading music and lifestyle sites in the U.S., providing music, nightlife, fashion and movie news for a hip young crowd of tastemakers and trendsetters. Founder Nick McCabe and his partners eventually launched sites for 11 U.S. cities, including New York and Los Angeles.

Clubplanet CEO and co-founder Andrew Fox said, “In four short years, Nick built CoolJunkie up, with no venture capital, to be Clubplanet's biggest competition in the South East region. We are very lucky to have him.”

CoolJunkie.com joins Clubplanet’s other sister sites: Wantickets.com, NewYears.com, and ClubTelevision.com.

Promotional Opportunities

The Clubplanet brand appeals to trendsetters and early adopters, a demographic that has been traditionally hard to reach. The Clubplanet brand has built a loyal following with this group by tapping into their nightlife and lifestyle interests. This group has a high disposable income and relies on Clubplanet’s resources to provide them with the latest trends and offers. Partners tap into this loyalty through both online and offline opportunities, from traditional online advertising and email marketing to event sponsorships and loyalty programs.

Clubplanet syndicates its content such as guestlist services and venue listings to online properties which include Yahoo Local and City Search and major brands utilize Clubplanet’s content for syndication in their programs. Examples where this content has truly enriched a program include Absolut Access, Bacardi PartyByNight.com and Vindigo’s palmtop city guides.
