jD Shapiro to Speak at the Celebration of Life for Stan Lee

Proud to announce my client jD Shapiro will be speaking at the celebration of life memorial for hashtagstanlee jD Shapiro was Stan Lee’s creative partner from 2002 to 2017. Stan was not only jD’s mentor but they became very close friends. Working with Stan was one of the highlights of jD’s career. Being Dyslexic, it was comic books that taught him how to read, and it was Marvel Comic Books and Stan Lee’s who he grew up loving jD use to tell Stan, “One day I’m going to make you famous. To which Stan would respond, “If anyone can do it it’s you, Jakey.” jD misses a lot about Stan not being here anymore, but what he misses most is the many laughs they shared together. Stan asked jD to speak at his celebration of life memorial, which is taking place in LA on January 30th. jD is presently in Europe and despite his very busy schedule he is flying into LA to attend and speak at Stan’s memorial. Or as jD put it, “It would take every single evil villain Stan ever created to come to life and stop me from going… and I’d still make it there.” To see a movie of jD’s Stan loved called “We Married Margo” (the winner of Best Film at HBO Comedy Festival, among many other prestigious awards) go to: https://lnkd.in/e-g56g8

Americans Love The Royal Family

Every little girl wants to be a Princess growing up with the hopes of finding her Prince.



Americans have been fascinated with the British royals for the last 150 years +.  I think it's fair to say that the American people are quite fond of the royal family.

We are fascinate and obsessed with fairy tales.  The British royal family represents a real life fantasy, one that people can follow and live out vicariously so to speak.

Reasons why the Americans are so in love with the Royal Family:

  • A fascination with childhood fairytales
  • Obsession with "Celebrities"
  • Canada is so close to the States
  • There is a human element to it
  • You've watched them grow up
  • America's relationship with the U.K.
What ever your reasoning is to love the Royal family, I do know Princess Diana is shining down on her two boys and nothing will ever take her love and heart from William and Harry.

5 Things You Should START Doing on Social Media for Your Business

5 Things You Should START Doing on Social Media for Your Business

PAY TO PLAY
I chose to lead with this statement because it makes me cringe when people say, “social media is free”. Let me dispel this – SOCIAL MEDIA IS NO LONGER FREE. Unless you can catch lightning in a bottle with every piece of content that you create, you are going to have a very hard time reaching an audience without shedding out some advertising dollars and some professional help (which leads to my second point below). Good news is – the advertising platforms have become extremely advanced in their ability to target a very specific demographic. This allows you to focus your budget on an audience who will be most likely to interact with your brand, and more importantly help you reach your marketing goals.
HIRE A PROFESSIONAL  
Since many people have been taught that “social media is free”, a great deal of business owners have the perception that it doesn’t hold the same value as other marketing vessels. The result? The receptionist at work who has an active Instagram account is put in charge of the companies’ social media presence. OR maybe it’s the owners 19-year-old daughter who is a barista at a local coffee shop who just seems like she knows social media. The point is, social media is not something you let the interns run. It is a vessel that needs to be incorporated into your entire marketing strategy, not treated as a separate unit. Sure, the way you promote content on social is going to be different than a traditional TV ad, but everything needs to work together seamlessly. Not sure what that means? Then hire a professional!
ENGAGE WITH YOUR AUDIENCE
The beauty of social media is the one-on-one connection brands can have with their audience – no matter the size of their corporation. If you are promoting interesting content, chances are your audience is engaging with your page. This is a prime opportunity for you to engage back with them, and create brand advocacy. Community management on your profiles is transparent customer service. Greet your guest’s, treat them right, add value, and they will return more frequently to do business with you.  
RESEARCH AND PLAN
Whether you realize it or not, only a few weeks after posting on your social channels in a consistent fashion, you will have a large amount of data at your fingertips that can help bring your efforts to the next level. For example - what content is getting the most engagement? Reach? Web clicks? Direct sales? These valuable data points are the building blocks of deciding what you will promote on social media, and then creating a posting strategy around that. 
CREATE GREAT CONTENT
I don’t care how much money you spend – if your content doesn’t resonate with your audience in a way that is going to get them to respond, you’re not going to get the results you are looking for. Think about when you’re on Facebook or LinkedIn, and the amount of garbage you scroll past in your newsfeed. Have you ever really thought why that is? Simply put - it’s not grabbing your attention. As a marketer, it is your job to tell your brands story in a way that is going to best help achieve your goals.
