Rightster, the global online video distribution and monetisation network, today announces a partnership with Sony Music Entertainment to celebrate the release of Paloma Faith's new album, A Perfect Contradiction - Outsiders' Edition.



Rightster will work with Sony to produce a beauty tutorial Google Hangout event, Paloma Face, which takes place on Friday, 21st November at 6:30pm GMT. The event will see Paloma team up with six of her favourite YouTube beauty bloggers from around the world including Nikkie Tutorials with over 600,000 subscribers and Dolly Bow Bow with over 200,000 subscribers.

During the hangout, Paloma will chat to the YouTubers about beauty tips and answer questions from fans on the hashtag #PalomaFace. The six beauty YouTubers will then create their own interpretations of the six characters from the cover artwork of Paloma's new album. The resulting branded video tutorials will then be hosted on each bloggers' YouTube channels.

The partnership further highlights Rightster's credentials as a network-agnostic producer of branded entertainment.

Patrick Walker, Chief Commercial Officer, Rightster, commented: "We are delighted to partner with Sony Music Entertainment on such an innovative project. Sony Music's talent combined with Rightster's relationship with influential beauty stars, and our reach and technical abilities, is a powerful example of how to reach a global engaged audience."

Carina Grace, Vice President International Marketing, Sony Music Entertainment, commented: "We are very excited about this opportunity to build the relationship between the vibrant YouTube community and Paloma Faith, an artist who is known for her strong, visually led campaigns. We are looking forward to seeing the #PalomaFace interpretations of A Perfect Contraction by our new YouTube friends from around the world."

Paloma Faith added: "I'm really excited to have the chance to connect with all my fellow beauty fans on such a fun project. I can't wait to see all the interpretations of my characters, and I hope everyone will give it a go at home - let's get creative!"
