Cameo (launched March 15, 2017) is a website that allows users to pay celebrities to make clips for them. The website was founded by Steven Galanis, Martin Blencowe, and Devon Spinler Townsend.
About[]
Steven Galanis and Martin Blencowe had the idea to create Cameo after leaving Galanis's grandmother's funeral. Blencowe's work included being a film producer and NFL agent. In April 2016, Blencowe got NFL player Cassius Marsh to record himself congratulating his friend on the birth of his son. The duo realized that "the selfie was the new autograph". Marsh tweeted a photo introducing his fans to the site and it was launched on March 15, 2017. Since then, celebrities with more than 20,000 Instagram followers are eligible to set up an account with Cameo. Prices start at $5 and the highest was Caitlyn Jenner at $2,500 as of March 2020.
Cameo has been named #19 of America's Best Startup Employers by Forbes and #17 by LinkedIn.
The site grew during the COVID-19 pandemic as it accommodates social distance restrictions. In July 2020 the site launched Promotional Cameos, a premium priced service for businesses to buy celebrity endorsements.
