Yianni Stamas, Creator of “Celebify – Video Mini Podcast to Grow Your Own Audience”, “Media Arts Blogs of The Arts and Media“, “Platinum PIAs” and “Video Diary NYC“
Celebify – Home of the “Grow Your Own Audience” Video Mini Podcast
Yianni has a long history of helping successful people become even more successful and the Grow Your Own Audience video mini podcast of 5 to 10 minute long short educational videos for small business owners, nonprofit directors and artist entertainers continues that tradition.
First Job in the Industry of Entertainment
Starting in 1980, Yianni had his first job in the industry of entertainment at a major movie studio in Los Angeles, moving there from a small California town with a population of around 100 people. At the studio Yianni worked as the assistant to the head of education, who was an internationally known educator.
Media Arts Blogs – The Arts and Media Collection
Another project of Yianni’s is the “Media Arts Blogs” collection of approximately twenty seven online publications. Starting in 2011, Yianni made one blog about the arts and media after another as an outgrowth of his educational mission project to provide resources of learning for small business owners, nonprofit directors and artist entertainers. Additionally, Yianni’s long time love and fascination with media arts led him to go back to school in Manhattan in the 2010s and get a B.A. in Media and an M.A. in Arts Administration.
Platinum PIAs
Yianni is additionally known for having created annually for a decade (2010 to 2019) the Platinum PIAs, a Manhattan based awards show that recognized those in the arts and media including small business owners, nonprofit directors and entertainer artists for making a difference in their communities in New York City.
Video Diary NYC
Yianni Stamas is also known for creating “Video Diary NYC” that was a weekly half hour cable TV program that over the course of approximately ten years – from 1991 to 2000 – was an experiment in the arts and media. In this cable TV experiment Yianni wanted to find out what would happen if he began filming and documenting his his life and creative process, then weekly put it on television. “Video Diary NYC” predated the “The Real World” as a reality program.
