　　Tout, a service that lets user make 15-second videos that can be posted to sites like Facebook and Twitter, was less than a year old when it hired Brooke Fedro, who began her career at Creative Artist Agency. Among her strategies is finding actors with television shows that are on hiatus and musicians who haven't had an album release in a while and encouraging them to "tout" themselves. "It's important to take advantage of their downtime and let them promote their own brand," says Ms. Fedro, director of entertainment relations and marketing for Tout.

　　Mr. Kuhn recently signed Foursquare, the location-based social-media network with 20 million users who "check in" to venues. Together, Foursquare and UTA will work to develop relationships with concert promoters like LiveNation, says Jonathan Crowley, director of media partnerships for the New York-based Foursquare. Mr. Crowley says market research shows that many people go to concert events without tickets, merely to tailgate with friends. If non-ticket holders "check in" outside of concert venues, promoters can sell tailgaters any remaining tickets.
　　库恩最近与位置社交网络媒体Foursquare签了约。Foursquare总部位于纽约，拥有2,000万用户，他们可以在各种不同的地点“签到”。Foursquare媒体合作总监乔纳森 克劳雷（Jonathan Crowley）说，公司将与UTA共同合作，与LiveNation等演唱会宣传公司建立合作关系。克劳雷说，市场研究表明，很多去看演唱会的人都没有门票，他们只是尾随朋友而来。如果没有票的观众在演唱会会场外“签到”，那么演唱会公司就能把余票卖给他们。
