“Hi, Bree, it’s Mariah. Mariah Carey...Please tell the fans thank you.” In 1999, 16-year-old Bree Nguyen was hired by her idol, Mariah Carey, to do something urgent: get Mariah on Total Request Live (TRL). Why hire a 16-year-old fan? Bree figured out one thing that music executives were unclear how to venture into: internet fandom. If you’ve read our book, you may have already heard a snippet of Bree’s story and we don’t want to give it all away. In this episode Bree tells us the extraordinary story of how she first met Mariah and joined her team. Then, how she created a framework based on immersion into fandom that she would later repeat for artists like Michelle Branch, Ashlee Tisdale, My Chemical Romance, and Lincoln Park. Say hi to Bree on Twitter . See the full transcript This podcast was created by the team at People & Company. Say hi! We would love to get to know you. We published GET TOGETHER , a handbook on community-building. And we help organizations like Nike, Porsche, Substack and Surfrider make smart bets with their community-building investments.
