Stars Hold One-on-One Chats For Charity With New Chatter App
The Chatter app is poised to help stars and fans interact and engage in a video chat without compromising on privacy and security.
Social media has changed the way movie stars and celebrities connect with their fans. Stars share their pictures and posts on Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and Periscope. Fans religiously follow their icons and leave comments on the site in a bid to get noticed by their favorite star.
With the soon-to-be-launched app Chatter, lucky fans will get 5 minutes of undivided attention from their favorite stars. Beginning June 4th, fans will be able to purchase a $5 raffle ticket through the Chatter App, and a random winner will win the 5-minute video chat.
After securing seed funding from Innovation Factory, Chatter is gearing up for its global launch on iOS and Android on June 4. Celebrities signed up to participate include Leonardo DiCaprio, Drake, Bryshere Gray (Empire), YouTube stars Arika Soto and Tyler Oakley, Snapchat star YesJulz, and Instagram models @Chantelzales and @SophiaMiacova, and dozens of others to be announced in the coming weeks.
Co-founder Pasha King notes, "Obviously the stars-charity concept works. But there needs to be a more accessible platform. Crises don't care when your annual gala is. We should be able to quickly rally around crises that need urgent attention."
Pasha King says the Flint water crisis inspired Chatter. King says, "Certain stars were donating personally, but it was happening too slowly. There was no way to rally the community quickly. It's not that stars do not want to contribute - that's not the issue. If we had this platform last year, imagine how much more we could have done to help."
"Chatter is the easiest way for stars to donate to a charity of their choice," says Teague Egan, co-founder of Chatter. "It's a very simple concept that's taking off because it's easy and fun to use, and everyone comes away with positive vibes. We have a scoreboard we will be unveiling in the near future, which tracks how much stars raised for charity through Chatter. I'm excited to see stars compete to see who raises the most!"
