Company Launches Female Focused Online Network

Recently Launched ZAZ Report to be Anchor of Network

National Lampoon, Inc. (AMEX:NLN), the most widely recognized brand in comedy, today announced the formation of The ZAZ Network. The ZAZ Network has been formed as a sister network to the rapidly growing National Lampoon Humor Network, and follows the launch by National Lampoon of the ZAZ Report.

The ZAZ Network will provide advertisers with a highly targeted means of reaching the much sought after female demographic. The ZAZ Network will consist of a number of female focused comedy, gossip, and celebrity sites. The network will launch with a core group of affiliate sites and will add additional sites in the coming months.

The ZAZ Network is the third niche online ad network launched by National Lampoon. Since the launch of the National Lampoon Humor Network, which has grow to over 6 million unique visitors per month, the company last year launched the Drunk University Network, focusing strongly on the college audience. The formation of The ZAZ Network will ensure that the National Lampoon Humor Network retains its core youth focus on entertaining and compelling comedy. The company’s unique strategy combines the “online ad network” model with the ability to bring real added value to network affiliates through the many other National Lampoon media platforms.

“The launch of The ZAZ Network gives National Lampoon another way online to connect with and build upon its audience,” said National Lampoon Chief Executive Officer Daniel Laikin. “As a partner to the National Lampoon Humor Network and the Drunk University Network, ZAZ will give National Lampoon advertisers a more targeted online distribution platform, while also creating another Lampoon seedbed through which we can discover up-and-coming comedic talent and content to leverage through our other media platforms.”
