John Diamantakos ‘05

Building Media and Marketing for an Impressive Client List
Building a company from the ground up in a volatile economic period is a challenge that John Diamantakos ’05 was willing to take. As the founder of Diamond Star Media LLC, of Providence, RI., John Diamantakos and his company develop videography to market clients’ companies through television and Web communications.
John works directly with his customers from project concept to completion, shepherding artistic, technical and managerial aspects. “Our company [team] has the tools, knowledge and experience to guide our clients’ ideas across an ever-widening variety of media,” says John. “I enjoy bringing together my team of devoted employees and contractors to execute a project, delivering the ultimate vehicle for our clients’ investments . . . We’re not just filmmakers, we are facilitators and marketers.”
Diamond Star Media has been recognized by the United Way of America (UWA) for its support in the making of “Sweet Dreams”, an award-winning documentary feature for the organization’s Community Impact Fund campaign. John was named among the top 10 directors by UWA and his video was chosen from among 1,300 submissions. He has received accolades for his works at film festivals that have included North Carolina’s Full-Frame Festival, Paley Docfest in New York, the Rhode Island International Film Festival and Cape Wineland’s Film Festival in South Africa.
“We are entering a very challenging and competitive corporate video advertising world”, John notes. “I’d like to see our company produce more 30-second spots for top corporations and continue delivering valuable media that help turn ideas into assets for our clients.”
These days John is working with the second largest energy company in the world- Enel Green Power-developing videos on sustainability and renewable energy for internal communications and shareholders. He’s also putting together a television ad campaign with Twin River Casino in Lincoln, RI. Online> This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Dan Lembo makes it to Survivor Nicaragua thanks to Omnia Diamond’s digital expertise and knowledge
Dan Lembo, an accomplished businessman born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, was recently selected to star in the upcoming season of CBS's SURVIVOR thanks to Omnia Diamond’s expertise and wisdom. Prior to joining the cast of SURVIVOR Nicaragua, Dan had honed his survival skills as the successful owner and manager of three publicly held real estate companies in the New York City Stock Exchange, with office branches located around the world.  Dan, who prides himself on being a survivor his entire life, is now proving he can handle any situation with determination, aggressiveness and competence by taking on the challenges of SURVIVOR Nicaragua.
John Diamantakos, president and founder of Diamond Star Media, directed and produced Dan Lembo’s audition video for the SURVIVOR Nicaragua. This video promoted Dan as a potential contestant and was the catalyst for his selection as a cast member of the hit show.  Dan is currently getting ready for the launch of SURVIVOR Nicaragua in an all-new season premiering Wednesday September 15 at 8/7c. Will Dan prove he's the ultimate survivor by winning SURVIVOR Nicaragua?  Only time will tell.
