Title: Dolphin Forms New Division to Elevate Culinary and Lifestyle Talent

Dolphin (NASDAQ:DLPN), the award-winning entertainment, marketing, and media company, has announced the launch of Dolphin Tastemakers, a new division formed through a strategic collaboration between its subsidiaries The Digital Dept. and The Door. This innovative division combines talent management and PR services specifically for culinary and lifestyle creators, offering a unique full-service model that pairs talent management and brand strategy with premier PR and amplification services.

The Dolphin Tastemakers roster includes influential chefs, media personalities, and cultural trendsetters such as Josh Scherer (Mythical Kitchen), Jeanine Donofrio, Jessica Bui, and Alfredo Garcia. These creators gain access to a comprehensive suite of services within the Dolphin ecosystem, including talent management provided by The Digital Dept. and premier earned media representation from The Door.

According to Bill O'Dowd, CEO of Dolphin, the division aims to eliminate the friction often experienced by creators and lifestyle icons who typically engage separate firms for management representation and publicity. "Our teams now work as one unit from the outset, crafting cohesive strategies that maximize both commercial opportunities and cultural relevance," he said. The Door's PR campaigns keep these talents top of mind for both brand managers and the public at large, while The Digital Dept. monetizes their cultural cache through brand partnerships and endorsements. This creates a virtuous flywheel for the talent, with increased visibility through PR and earned media leading to greater endorsement potential.

Dolphin Tastemakers reflects the company's broader vision of offering a 360-degree approach to its clients and partners across its collective of agencies. Clients can gain direct access to the expansive Dolphin ecosystem, including production, events, product development, affiliate services, and more. This integrated approach ensures that PR and influencer management teams work in tandem, feeding each other in real-time to create a growth loop that maximizes opportunities for the talent.

The division's launch aligns with Dolphin's commitment to celebrating the stories behind great food and lifestyle brands, providing creators with the management muscle and access to best-in-class PR that they need to turn their passion into lasting success, both online and beyond.
