The Fan Talk program is part of Intertainment and Ortsbo's overarching global engagement program allowing artists and celebrities to engage worldwide with fans from their online sites and venues like the new Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY while creating additional opportunities for revenue generation.

The introduction of the Social Hub platform has successfully increased data collection, merchandising and fan engagement both online and through mobile activities, rewarding fans around the world for their participation in the program.
In addition to the Fan Talk program, Intertainment has begun to engage in activities to work with celebrities to create global loyalty and revenue programs through its Sweet Card () program announced earlier this year and plans to report additional information as it becomes available.
