Jamel Anderson: FANMIRE “The Coolest Influencer Platform on the Planet”

Everyone has been a fan girl or boy at least once in their lives…or has had an idol, a super-hero, an influencer, a celebrity in the entertainment, sports or music industry. The newest platform trending, which promises to gravitate for a long time to come is user friendly FANMIRE offering the wider world the opportunity to join an exclusive and intimate community with their favorite influencer.  The platform also allows for fans to communicate with other fans and enjoy, celebrate and comment on content. 

According to the founder of the platform Jamel Anderson “Fanmire is a fan engagement platform that uses cutting-edge Technology to create a more genuine and engaging experience between fans and the celebrities, influences, brands they love. Our platform is about fostering meaningful relationships in our digital world and creating community among users.” “We believe in cultivating relationships and making true connections through our platform, a place where influencers can feel free to be real, open, and inclusive with their fan base.”

 

Jamel Anderson, a native Harlem New Yorker and visionary created FANMIRE to “Keep the party going” long after the spirts or concert experiences. Jamel an entrepreneur has worked in concert promotion in sports marketing with an array of professional athletes, entertainers and comedians.

What inspired you to create “FANMIRE?”

I’m a big time sports man, and I’m not that great at sports. The energy around playing anything like football, basketball, baseball, it’s the energy that comes out in the camaraderie that just naturally happens. That attraction to sports is really what I love. I think that understanding the fan side of it, I never had a chance to compete at a high-level. But I understand as a fan now, whether I love the Nicks, or the Giants or wrestling or the Yankees, there is something as a fan that makes you a part of that team. I always felt that was special. Then the curiosity of “What is life like in the dugout?” The average person would never see that. The average person would never be on a bench for a basketball game. Average fans don’t get to stand on the sidelines at a football game. So there’s something about that connection of being a part of the game. That always fascinated me. But if you’re not on the team there is a certain access you just don’t have. I think that idea of being a fan, and that imaginary gap can be closed, what would that look like? I think that’s what inspired me to build FANMIRE. 

 

First of all I’m glad you said Yankees! Secondly if you as a fan could to talk to any sports legend on the planet who would it be?

 

Derek Jeter.

 

Now you’re talking. What are you hoping the platform will bring to the fan?

 

A genuine connection.

 

Describe the platform a little bit. 

 

My first goal is content. When people come onto the platform what my desire is first the user experience and the content be so compelling that they want to invite their friends and that they truly get a chance to get good content and good connections, meaningful connections with the influencers that they want to follow. They are going to go to the platform, browse through it, through sports content, music content, entertainment content, fashion content, then they are going to look and see what influencers they might want to follow. Then they can make the decision whether or not they want to pay to get exclusive content from that influencer. The other things like content they get for free.

 

After speaking with Jamel, I went on the platform myself….which by the way since I’m the most non- technical person on the planet, I thought it would be a chore. To my surprise and elation the platform was user-friendly and it took me about three minutes to become a member of FANMIRE…..
