Younghollywood.com Goes Exclusive with Joost

Santa Monica, CA, March 15, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Joost, a fully owned subsidiary of Adconion Media Group (www.adconion.com) and Young Hollywood, a premier website devoted to today’s hottest stars, jointly announced that Joost will exclusively represent Young Hollywood’s site, www.younghollywood.com effective immediately.

Situated at the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills, Young Hollywood’s studio is a first of its kind, attracting celebrities and industry tastemakers on a regular basis. With talent and behind-the-velvet-rope access, CEO and founder of Young Hollywood, RJ Williams, and his team create star-driven entertainment content for viewers to experience online.
