Contact Any Celebrity has helped fans, businesses, experts, authors, and nonprofits contact celebrities since 1997 using our Private Online Database and how-to resources.

Founder Jordan McAuley started Contact Any Celebrity from his dorm room because he enjoyed collecting autographs as a teen.

Over the years, Jordan turned his autograph-collecting hobby into Contact Any Celebrity, a Membership site and online database containing the contact information for 59,000+ celebrities, influencers, and public figures.

Jordan’s Background

Jordan worked as a video store clerk in high school for two years. (This was before DVDs—he must have said, “Be kind, please rewind!” hundreds of times to customers.)

In college, he studied the film business and held three internships.

One internship was in the public relations department of CNN in Atlanta, one was at Cartoon Network for Turner Entertainment in Atlanta, and one was at a modeling agency as an agent’s assistant in Miami Beach, Florida.

After film school, Jordan moved to Los Angeles, where he worked at a Hollywood production company that made the opening credits for the movie ‘Seven’ starring Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow, ‘Spy Kids’ starring Antonio Banderas, ‘XXX’ starring Samuel L. Jackson and Vin Diesel, and ‘Stranger Things.’

He also worked as an agent’s assistant at a large talent agency in Beverly Hills before starting Contact Any Celebrity (although he had been working on it for years on the side).

Find The Right Contact Information

The first step in contacting a celebrity is to find their contact information.

Unfortunately, this can be harder than it sounds.

Many celebrities have teams of agents, managers, and publicists who handle their communication, and their contact information isn’t always publicly available.

Pro Tip: You’ll find their contact information in our online database and annual print directory, The Celebrity Black Book.

You can use a few resources to find a celebrity’s contact information.

One option is to check their official website or social media accounts.

Many celebrities list their contact information or a contact form on their website or may have a “Contact” or “Booking” page.

You can also search for their agent or management company online, as they may have contact information on their website.

Another option is to use a service like Contact Any Celebrity, which provides verified contact information for celebrities and influencers. This can be a great resource if you’re having trouble finding contact information on your own.

To find celebrity mailing addresses, you can use our Contact Any Celebrity online database or our annual print directory, ‘The Celebrity Black Book.’

Episode 033 - How to Get Celebrity Clients with Jordan McAuley

Once you have a celebrity’s contact information, it’s time to craft your pitch.

Your message should be brief, professional, and to the point.

Here are a few tips for crafting the perfect message:

• Introduce yourself and explain why you’re reaching out.
• Keep it short and sweet. Celebrities are busy people who don’t have time to read long messages.
• Be specific about what you’re asking for. Are you looking to book them for an event? Ask them to participate in a project. Make what you’re looking for clear.
• Include any relevant information, such as dates, locations, or details about your project.
• Be polite and respectful. Remember, celebrities are people, too, and deserve to be treated with respect.

Personalize Your Message

Kontaktieren Sie über 59.000 Prominente, Influencer und Persönlichkeiten des öffentlichen Lebens über unsere Online-Datenbank.

When sending a message to a celebrity, it’s important to make it as personal as possible.

Avoid generic messages or form letters, as they are more likely to be ignored.

Instead, take the time to craft a thoughtful and well-written message that shows you’ve given it some thought.

Mention specific details about the celebrity’s work that you admire, and explain why you’re reaching out.

How To Contact Celebrities Through the Mail

(gesponsert)

It’s easy to send celebrities a heartfelt fan letter.

The most important thing to remember is always to send a self-addressed stamped envelope.

This makes it easy for the celebrity to reply with an autographed photo.

See our Fan & Autograph Seeker Success Stories and how-to articles for Fans & Autograph Collectors.

To find celebrity mailing addresses, you can use our Contact Any Celebrity online database or our annual print directory, ‘The Celebrity Black Book.’

Here’s an example message you can use as a template:

Subject: Request for [Celebrity Name]

Dear [Celebrity Name],

My name is [Your Name], and I am reaching out because [explain why you’re reaching out]. I would be honored if you would consider [what you’re asking for].

[Include any relevant information].

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]

Be Respectful & Professional

Celebrities are people, too, and they deserve to be treated with respect.

Avoid using offensive or disrespectful language in your message; remember that celebrities are not obligated to respond.

Even if a celebrity doesn’t respond, it’s important to maintain a professional and respectful demeanor.

Following Up

Kontaktieren Sie über 59.000 Prominente, Influencer und Persönlichkeiten des öffentlichen Lebens über unsere Online-Datenbank.

Following up is okay if you don’t hear back from a celebrity after your initial message.

However, be respectful of their time and don’t bombard them with messages.

Wait a week before following up, and keep your message brief and polite.

Here’s an example follow-up message you can use:

Subject: Follow-up to [Date of Initial Message]

Dear [Celebrity Name],

I hope this message finds you well.

I wanted to follow up on my [Date of Initial Message] message regarding [what you’re asking for].

I understand you must receive many requests, so I wanted to ensure my message was received.

[Include any new or relevant information].

Thank you for your time and consideration.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]

WIIFM (What’s In It For Them?)

When reaching out to influencers, you must tailor your approach to their needs and interests.

Always remember, WIIFM (What’s In It For Them?)

Take the time to research the influencer and find out what products or services they may be interested in.

For example, if you’re a skincare brand, look for influencers who have expressed a need for hydration or have complained about dry skin.

If your initial outreach does not receive a response, try again with a smaller request and include a personal note to build rapport.

The key is to add value to the influencer’s life by giving them something they want rather than simply asking for a promotion.

This approach will help establish trust and create a positive relationship, leading to feedback, community building, and endorsements.

Be Prepared For A No

Kontaktieren Sie über 59.000 Prominente, Influencer und Persönlichkeiten des öffentlichen Lebens über unsere Online-Datenbank.

It’s important to remember that celebrities are under no obligation to respond to your message, and they may not have the time or inclination to do so.

If you don’t receive a response, try not to take it personally. Remember that many factors influence a celebrity’s decision to respond to a message, and it’s not always a reflection on you or your message.

By following these tips, you can increase your chances of getting a response from a celebrity. Remember to be respectful, professional, and persistent while understanding that celebrities are people, too.

The most important thing is to enjoy the process and not be too disappointed if you don’t get a response. Patience and perseverance are key.

Here are some more tips for contacting celebrities:

How To Get A Celebrity Product Endorsement

Kontaktieren Sie über 59.000 Prominente, Influencer und Persönlichkeiten des öffentlichen Lebens über unsere Online-Datenbank.

Do you have a business, product, or service and want a celebrity endorsement?

You should contact their agent to secure a celebrity endorsement for your brand or product.

Agents handle all financial deals involving celebrities and are the main point of contact during the contract process.

If the celebrity does not have an agent, contact his or her manager. They handle the celebrity’s brand and can discuss the endorsement opportunity.

Pro Tip: See our book, ‘Celebrity Leverage: Insider Secrets to Getting Celebrity Endorsements‘ by Contact Any Celebrity founder Jordan McAuley.

It is important to note that if the celebrity has an agent and a manager, you should contact the agent to see if the celebrity is within your budget.

After discussing this with the agent, they will involve the manager for final approval before proceeding with the contract.

How To Contact Micro-Influencers

Kontaktieren Sie über 59.000 Prominente, Influencer und Persönlichkeiten des öffentlichen Lebens über unsere Online-Datenbank.

Micro-influencers, with followers ranging from 5k to 100k, might be a better choice for brands than macro-influencers, who have a large global following.

Micro-influencers typically have a more engaged audience and a higher engagement rate per follower, making them a cost-effective and easy-to-reach option.

In 2021, brands and marketers are expected to focus more on using micro-influencers for their campaigns.

Micro-influencers can be found in various sectors and offer valuable insights and a loyal brand audience.

They also tend to work more to ensure they offer brands the best value and their audience trusts them, making them less likely to be constantly sold to.

Therefore, brands can benefit from combining micro-influencers and celebrities to increase campaign ROI.

How To Get Your Product In Celebrity Gift Bags & Gift Suites

“We supply new celebrity moms and dads with Baby Swags gift baskets full of handcrafted or mom-inspired products. I now use your service to make all my contacts. Your database is always on the spot, making my job a lot easier. I have sent out about 30 baskets during my 11 months in business and have had no returns, no wrong addresses, and even some great celebrity feedback. It has been an amazing experience, and I hope to continue using your outstanding service for many more years!”
– Phyllis Pometta, Founder, Baby Swags, Plainfield, IL

Another option for unofficial business opportunities is celebrity gift bag opportunities.

This can be an effective way to get your product into the hands of a celebrity.

Gift lounges and red-carpet events are more appropriate for brands, business owners, and interview seekers than for fans.

Gift lounges are an excellent way to get your product or service to celebrities.

These occur on-site at red-carpet events and provide a dedicated area where celebrities can pick up free products from brands that have paid to set up a station.

Since celebrities attend these events with the expectation of interacting with potential business partners, they will be more open to discussing possible partnerships with brands.

Additionally, it’s sometimes possible to get pictures of the celebrity interacting with a specific brand, which can eliminate much uncertainty about whether the celebrity will wear your merchandise and be photographed while wearing it.

How To Get A Celebrity Charitable Donation

Kontaktieren Sie über 59.000 Prominente, Influencer und Persönlichkeiten des öffentlichen Lebens über unsere Online-Datenbank.

If you are running a charity and looking for donations, the first step is to identify celebrities who align with your charity’s mission and values.

Research celebrities who have previously supported causes similar to yours.

Once you have a list of potential donors, contact their publicist first.

Publicists are responsible for ensuring their client (the celebrity) looks good.

That often involves donating or sending an autographed item you can auction off at your fundraising event.

They will want to know about the potential donation and its impact on the celebrity’s public image and may connect you with the celebrity’s agent and manager to proceed.

If the celebrity you want does not have a publicist, contact the celebrity’s manager.

Agents are usually a waste of time, as they only consider booking their client (the celebrity) for jobs.

In other words, agents won’t bother talking to you unless you offer to hire their client (the celebrity) for a large fee.

He or she will want to evaluate your charity’s legitimacy and alignment with the celebrity’s public image.

Use our online database to find the agent, manager, and publicist for a celebrity.

Also, see our Nonprofit Success Stories and how-to articles for Charities, Fundraisers & Nonprofits.

How To Hire A Celebrity For An Event

Kontaktieren Sie über 59.000 Prominente, Influencer und Persönlichkeiten des öffentlichen Lebens über unsere Online-Datenbank.

Like product endorsements, event bookings are primarily a source of income for celebrities, so you should contact their agent to discuss your opportunity.

The agent will inform you if the celebrity you want for your event is available on the desired date and also provide information about the cost of securing their client.

Search our online database to find the agent, manager, and publicist for a celebrity.

Pro Tip: See our Insider Interview with celebrity booking agent Mike Esterman of Esterman Entertainment.

How To Meet A Celebrity In Person

Kontaktieren Sie über 59.000 Prominente, Influencer und Persönlichkeiten des öffentlichen Lebens über unsere Online-Datenbank.

The most effective way to make direct contact with a celebrity is to put yourself in a situation where a face-to-face introduction is possible.

Whether you are a fan or a journalist with an interview request, being in the same location as the celebrity allows quick and direct communication.

Attending events that the celebrity is participating in can provide such an opportunity.

However, it is important to note that these events typically focus on connecting with fans and not discussing business deals, as the celebrity’s attention will be divided among all attendees.

Search our online database to find the agent, manager, and publicist for a celebrity.

Also, see our Fan & Autograph Seeker Success Stories and how-to articles for Fans & Autograph Collectors.

How To Contact A Celebrity Using Social Media

Kontaktieren Sie über 59.000 Prominente, Influencer und Persönlichkeiten des öffentlichen Lebens über unsere Online-Datenbank.

Social media is a great way for fans to contact a celebrity.

However, if you’re hoping to secure an interview with a celebrity or want to contact a celebrity for business purposes, social media isn’t your best bet.

Celebrities receive massive amounts of comments and messages on social media, so the odds of your message being seen are slim.

In addition, if you’re targeting a celebrity for a business deal (like an endorsement or marketing campaign), you shouldn’t reach out directly to the celebrity.

Instead, you should contact the people responsible for their business deals, such as their agent, manager, or publicist.

Search our online database to find the agent, manager, and publicist for a celebrity.

How To Pitch Your Product To Celebrity Stylists

Kontaktieren Sie über 59.000 Prominente, Influencer und Persönlichkeiten des öffentlichen Lebens über unsere Online-Datenbank.

Celebrity stylists are a powerful point of contact for contacting a celebrity if your fashion or beauty brand fits a specific celebrity’s taste.

Celebrity stylists can include professionals for hair, makeup, and, of course… dresses and tuxes!

Oprah Winfrey’s stylist, Adam Glassman (whom we got to interview at an Oprah event), styled every cover of O Magazine.

You may have seen him on ‘The View‘ as part of the show’s Oprah’s Favorite Things segment.

They don’t always wake up looking gorgeous like we see on film, television, and in magazines.

Stylists are responsible for the celebrity’s style and look on the red carpet, on-screen, in professional photos, and at award shows and events.

“Who are you wearing?” Joan Rivers would always ask on E!

What celebrities wear on the red carpet is big business, as photos taken are shared worldwide, promoting the various couture and name brands.

A great book on how to get your product to celebrity stylists is ‘Will Work for Shoes: The Business Behind Red Carpet Product Placement’ by Susan Ashbrook.

When trying to contact stylists, email them (do not call them before establishing a relationship) and provide them with a summary of what you’re looking for.

Be sure to send a link to images of a collection you think they would be interested in.

Instead, check out Susan Ashbrook’s book for how to pitch your product to celebrity stylists.

Schlussfolgerung

Kontaktieren Sie über 59.000 Prominente, Influencer und Persönlichkeiten des öffentlichen Lebens über unsere Online-Datenbank.

It is important to note that not all celebrities will respond or be interested in what you need.

It’s important to respect their decision and move on.

Additionally, it’s important to be aware of legal or ethical considerations when contacting celebrities, such as obtaining consent or not sharing private information.

Another important aspect to remember when contacting celebrities is understanding their schedule and availability.

Many celebrities have busy schedules and may not have the time to respond or participate in your project or event.

Reaching out to them well before your event may be helpful to ensure they have enough time to consider and plan for your request.

In addition to directly contacting celebrities, building relationships with intermediaries such as publicists, managers, or agents can also be beneficial.

These professionals can act as gatekeepers for celebrities and be valuable resources for contacting them.

Building relationships with intermediaries can also increase your chances of getting a response from a celebrity.

In conclusion, reaching out to celebrities can be challenging, but it is possible with the right approach and resources.

By researching celebrity contact information, crafting the perfect message, and following up appropriately, you can increase your chances of getting a response.

Remember always to be professional and specific and show value in your approach.

It is important to respect celebrities’ decisions and understand their schedule, availability, and legal or ethical considerations.

Building relationships with intermediaries can also increase your chances of getting a response from a celebrity.

Fake Celebrity “Fan Card” Scams

You do not need to purchase any kind of “fan card” to meet a celebrity. In fact, those offers are almost always scams designed to trick fans into paying for something fake or unofficial.

So-called “celebrity fan cards” or “membership cards” that claim to give you direct contact, private meetings, or backstage access to a celebrity are widely reported scams.

Real opportunities to meet celebrities usually happen through:

• Official conventions or fan expos (e.g., Comic-Con, Fan Expo), where you can buy photo ops or autograph tickets rather than a “fan card”.​
• Artist-managed VIP packages that are sold through the celebrity’s official website or ticketing partners, typically for tours or special events.​

These verified events will have clear details about what you’re paying for, including timeframe, location, and terms.

For more information on celebrity fan card scams, see the “Hollywood Reporter” article, “This Is Not Keanu: Inside The Billion-Dollar Celebrity Impersonation Bitcoin Scam,” and the book, “Keanu Reeves is Not in Love With You: The Murky World of Online Romance” by Becky Holmes.

• Many impersonators pose as celebrity managers or representatives, asking fans to buy cards for $200–$2,900 to meet stars like Keanu Reeves, Kevin Costner, Tom Cruise and others.​
• Official safety communities and Facebook groups have warned that no legitimate celebrity or agency requires a fan card purchase for communication or access.​

How to Verify a Real Meet-and-Greet Opportunity

1. Check official sources: The celebrity’s verified website or social media pages will list official meet-and-greet options.
2. Avoid email offers or DMs: No real celebrity will message or email you directly asking for payment.
3. Look for event partnerships: Authorized meet-and-greets are handled by event organizers like Ticketmaster, Live Nation, or convention hosts—not third-party “fan card” sites.

In short, if anyone asks you to buy a “fan card” to meet a celebrity, treat it as a scam. Real meet-and-greet tickets never require a special membership card.
