As a little girl, Emma Diamond would sit in front of the television during award show nights, with a notebook and pen in hand documenting what each star was wearing. Fast forward 15 years: she’s still documenting the stars - just in a far more innovative way.
Emma is the founder of Comments By Celebs, an innovative media company that delivers celebrity news & entertainment in the form of Instagram comments. Julie Kramer is the CBC co-founder, and fellow self-proclaimed pop-culture enthusiast. The third member of the CBC trio is Isabel Greenberg, Director of Communications and co-host of the Comments By Bravo podcast. Together, the three have turned their love for all things entertainment into a full-time career.
The core of the brand, the @commentsbycelebs Instagram account, was started when Diamond & Kramer capitalized on Instagram’s initial algorithm change. Since its inception in 2017, @CommentsByCelebs has amassed a following of over 1.7 million followers and worldwide recognition with media and celebrity followers including Gwyneth Paltrow, Katie Couric, Kelly Ripa, and more. There has been a giant shift in the way we digest news, and Comments By Celebs is at the forefront of that shift. The account has started a cultural phenomenon with top major media outlets coming to rely on CBC to break celebrity news.
In addition to helming the flagship account and curating branded content, they have expanded Comments By Celebs to include @CommentsByBravo, @CommentsByAthletes, and @CommentsByBachelor. CBC has also teamed up with OverheardLA to create the crossover account, @OverheardCelebs.
They currently host a tri-weekly podcast, produced by Cadence13, which recap and debrief all things pop culture, The Kardashians, and Bravo/Real Housewives.
