BermanBraun-developed digital entertainment properties include celebrity site Wonderwall, launched with MSN. The production company has previously partnered with AOL for weather site Skye, lifestyle site Mandatory and the relaunch of pet-focused site PawNation.
AOL acquired Moviefone in 1999. The site celebrated its 20th anniversary with a redesign in 2010 focused on adding social media features.
After its acquisition of The Huffington Post in 2011, AOL has shuttered some of its standalone music and television properties as part of restructuring.
