Internet Talent iJustine Lands MTV VMA Role

Earlier this year, we interviewed internet celebrity iJustine for our conversational how-to web video series, which we’ll be producing every quarter. This past week, she landed an incredible gig with the MTV Video Music Awards, where she’ll be working as a special correspondent at the awards this weekend. Justine is one of the most successful internet personalities on the web and isn’t just a pretty face - she’s leveraged the platform to not just build a giant following but also transition it to commercial and broadcast TV work. She also happens to be whip smart brainy and one of the most respected women in tech. For the MTV/VMA gig she’ll be on the red carpet and covering the event and of course, leveraging her 500k+ Twitter following. We wouldn’t be surprised to see MTV snag her up for other projects. She’s definitely one to watch!
