That MTV video... I'm choosing my words very carefully here. That video says something about the company. That's the point, right?
I imagine the notion of having a) a launch party, b) a launch party with burlesque dancers, c) a launch party with burlesque dancers filmed by MTV was not an accidental choice by the company. Perhaps jellifi is aimed at a particular submarket in the event planning space which is very interested in the glitzerati world of fashion models and reality TV celebrities. If so, that video isn't completely insane. If you're not aiming to cement your reputation as that sort of business, I would strongly reconsider having that video on your home page.
In particular, in picking who to show that video to, I would note that it is going to be positively radioactive to multiple, independent, broad swathes of people in the tech community.
