Concord, NC (February 24, 2009) ACN, the world’s largest direct selling telecommunications company, will be featured on an episode of The Celebrity Apprentice, later this season. The Celebrity Apprentice premiere episode is March 1 and will be aired on Sundays, at 9/8c on NBC.
“I’ve come to know Greg, Robert, Tony and Mike, the Co-Founders of ACN, very well. They have built a terrific company and their new ACN Video Phone is amazing. I simply can’t imagine anyone using this video phone and not loving it. I can’t wait to see how our Celebrity Apprentice Teams launch it to the world!” stated Donald J. Trump.
The ACN Video Phone will be featured in an episode in which celebrity contestants are tasked with developing a launch event to showcase the new technology. The ACN Video Phone can truly change the way people communicate by allowing them to see the person they are talking to, not just hear their voice on the line; therefore celebrity contestants will be judged on how much energy, excitement and emotional appeal they convey in their unveiling.
“The Celebrity Apprentice is an opportunity for ACN like none other. We are excited about having the celebrities unveil our ACN Video Phone to the world. This is a break-through technology that will literally revolutionize the way we communicate and will be in millions of homes in the near future,” said ACN President and Co-Founder, Greg Provenzano.
ACN has been in business nearly two decades and operates in 20 countries on three continents. The company offers everyday services including local and long distance calling, Internet and wireless services, satellite TV and home security. In addition, ACN offers digital phone service with video phones – the very latest in communications technology that is simple to use and requires a high speed broadband connection. Seeing is believing – see for yourself on www.myacn.com.
Since 2006, ACN has been endorsed by multi-billionaire and Apprentice executive producer, Donald J. Trump. He has gone on to speak at several ACN International Training Events at which he has praised the company’s founders, business model and video phone. A natural progression of this relationship is ACN’s appearance on the prime-time reality show.
