American Artifact chronicles the rise of American rock poster art since its birth in the '60s.

Director Merle Becker crosses the country interviewing rock poster artists from the different eras to discover that America is currently in the midst of a 21st century "rock poster art movement", where thousands of artists around the country are doing silk screened rock poster art inspired by their local scene, the music of our time, and the spirit of our era.

The film explores the history / rise of the current rock poster movement in America, and features a cast of quirky / interesting, and extremely talented rock poster artists, talking about their work, and telling the story of their underground art movement.

This extraordinary film, which includes interviews with over 30 artists, takes the viewer on a journey through the different decades and incarnations of this rebellious art form, and spends time with, arguably, some of the finest artists of this era talking about what inspired their truly American works of art.

Libbie Masterson: Sky at Wade Wilson Art Artist Reception

Libbie Masterson: Sky at Wade Wilson Art – Artist Reception
Start Date: 1-Apr-10 6:00 PM
End Time: 1-Apr-10 8:00 PM
Location: Wade Wilson Art, Houston, TX 77006
Event Details:

Wade Wilson Art is pleased to announce a special exhibit of new works by Houston-based photographer Libbie Masterson. The exhibit, titled Sky and in conjunction with the 2010 FotoFest exhibitions, will feature a collection of images of the sky, shot throughout America in both the daytime and evening. The exhibit opens with a reception for the artist from 6-8 p.m. on Thursday, April 1 and will remain on view through April 27, 2010.

Previously, Masterson has based her massive photographic exhibits on luminescent, icy scenes. In her recent exhibit at the Houston Art Alliance, she strays from this realm to explore what could be considered the most extreme opposite - yet possesses beauty equally as majestic – the rugged landscapes of the state’s western regions. In Sky, Masterson brings together images she has collected over the past 5 years, all having to do with images of the sky. She has collected images from Alaska, California, Texas, in clear and stormy weather, exploring the dramatic variety of America’s horizons.

Houston author, Derek Steele, tells all in newest book, "Addict at 10."

Lou Congelio — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 21:00:00 GMT

Derek Steele, author of “Addict at 10″

Derek Steele's book is the story of his life…how he overcame addiction, poverty and homelessness to become a millionaire by 35.

Here’s a trailer from the book that pretty much tells his story. Very powerful.

Derek Steele is a dynamic speaker and author whose story offers a powerful lesson in overcoming addiction and finding fulfillment. A highly successful entrepreneur and family man, he came to the American dream the hard way — by surviving a nightmarish youth. When most people his age were looking forward to college and careers, Derek was spiraling through a violent underworld of drugs, alcohol and homelessness. “A million guys who were like me are now dead or in prison,” he says. Recovering from his addictions and building a life that many aspire to, he found true purpose in faith and service.

Addict at 10 is an amazing story of one man’s miraculous journey of transformation. It is a gripping account of how Derek overcame pain, hopelessness and substance abuse to find faith, purpose and fulfillment in life. Derek’s book is a wonderful example of how God leads us to His grace and how, with the right tools, guidance, and dedication, anyone who is willing and open to His will can overcome adversity.

Schipul – The Web Marketing Company’s Culture Queen to Examine How Company Culture Can Beat the Recession

Daniel Keeney — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 17:00:00 GMT

Katie Laird to lead core conversation at 2010 the SXSW® Interactive Festival

HOUSTON, March 3, 2010 – Schipul – The Web Marketing Company (www.schipul.com), a leading provider of Web marketing and social media consulting services, today announced that Communications Manager Katie Laird will lead a core conversation about company culture at the SXSW Interactive Festival. In the session, “Kicking Recession Ass with a Killer Company Culture,” Laird and business consultant Kelsey Ruger will examine the importance of finding and keeping the right people and creating an environment that breeds success.

The SXSW Interactive Festival brings together approximately 11,000 Web developers, designers, bloggers, wireless innovators, content producers, programmers and social media experts. Laird’s session is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. Sunday, March 14th.

“Company culture is often dismissed as wasteful during difficult times,” said Laird. “We will encourage participants to look at the value and impact of culture on their bottom lines so they will invest more in cultivating high performing cultures, instead of just paying lip service to it.”

Laird says it is when things look grim that company culture is most important. Studies have found that with adaptive corporate cultures and strong leadership practices financially outperform those that do not.

“A company with a culture that promotes innovation and change is more likely to take advantage of occasional downturns,” said Laird. “It is essential during today’s Great Recession for the leaders of a company to clearly articulate their vision and communicate precisely about culture.”

The SXSW Interactive Festival is scheduled March 12-16, 2010 at the Austin Convention Center. Registration information is available at http://sxsw.com/attend.

Lopez Negrete Communications Launches Hispanic CRM/DM Unit, Appoints Director

Julie Grayum — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 17:45:00 GMT

Lopez Negrete Communications, Inc., one of the nation’s leading and largest independent Hispanic owned and operated agencies, continues to expand its full-service capabilities by establishing a CRM/DM business unit and welcoming veteran Kathleen Jones as the new Director of Customer Relationship Management and Direct Marketing Initiatives.

“Kathleen comes to us bearing a wealth of knowledge and talent honed by the 20-plus years of experience she has in her field. Several Hispanic marketing shops claim to have some form of direct marketing capability, but none have Customer Relationship Management abilities, knowledge and experience to the level we have now set in place,” said Alex López Negrete, president, CEO and chief creative officer of Lopez Negrete. “What Kathleen brings to the table is absolutely unique in our space: a clear understanding of the nuances that exist in applying CRM and DM strategies to the Hispanic segment and the enormous need that clients have today to retain and optimize the relationship they have with existing and potential Hispanic customers, now that databases, list and consumer information sources have reached a certain point of maturity and depth.”

In her role, Jones will be responsible for developing and integrating Customer Relationship Management and Direct Marketing strategies for the agency’s broad base of clients. CRM/eCRM functions include: customer-centric strategies; data management planning; marketing database development; customer segmentation; loyalty program consulting; predictive behavior modeling; customer intelligence deliverables leading to new data-driven one-to-one strategies; direct marketing A/B testing; campaign results tracking; multi-channel strategies and tactics for direct mail, email, web custom content, web personalization, web communities, mobile and outbound/inbound call center. Other functions include leadership consulting in combining web analytics (online) with advanced analytics (offline transaction data/loyalty data) for all traditional and digital platforms.

Jones has 22 years’ experience in database marketing, along with 10 years’ experience in advertising, marketing, media and account management. She is a self-described customer retention specialist and an expert in segmentation strategies, delivering research output and transforming the findings into actionable sales and marketing strategies through multiple channels.

“Aligning with an established force such as Lopez Negrete will put my customer-focused marketing and database marketing best practices to work in partnership with clients who are looking for incremental revenue and ROI,” says Jones. “The Hispanic market continues to evolve. Traditional media – even in the Hispanic market – has experienced a level of implosion, albeit less than in the general market, but, yet, it has become much harder to reach the same volumes of audience, resulting in below and above the line disciplines transforming into multi-channel strategies. Agencies who want to remain competitive must stay ahead of the game in order to maintain leadership. Lopez Negrete has made such a commitment, and its clients have responded quickly and quite positively.”

About Lopez Negrete Communications, Inc.

AWARD-WINNING FROZEN YOGURT RETAILER RED MANGO

TO CELEBRATE GRAND OPENING AT FIRST HOUSTON STORE

Taste the All-Natural Difference with FREE Frozen Yogurt

February 27 at Red Mango Rice Village

HOUSTON (February 22, 2010) – Grab your spoons and prepare your taste buds, as Red Mango, the fastest growing retailer of all-natural nonfat frozen yogurt, celebrates the grand opening of its first store in Houston at 2565 Amherst Drive in Rice Village on Saturday, February 27. Guests will receive a free small Original yogurt with one topping from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The first 100 customers will also receive a Red Mango gift bag.

“Our all-natural, award winning frozen yogurt lets customers indulge in a guilt-free treat that is truly healthy and delicious,” said Dan Kim, president and CEO of Red Mango. “We are confident that once Houstonians try Red Mango frozen yogurt, they will taste the difference and make it part of their lifestyle.”

Red Mango frozen yogurt is available in four unique, gratifying and delicious flavors—Original, Pomegranate by POM Wonderful^®, and Tangomonium™ (a proprietary citrus blend), as well as the seasonal flavor, currently Cocoa, all under 100 calories per serving. Healthy, natural toppings include fresh fruit, nuts and granola, and fun toppings like Fruity Pebbles^® and Cap’n Crunch^®are available. Red Mango also offers the first line of probiotic iced teas as well as made-to-order parfaits and probiotic smoothies. Lemonocity™ (Lemonade Green Tea), Mysteaque™ (Vanilla Black Tea) and Fanteasia™ (Wildberry Hibiscus Tea) iced teas are each uniquely delicious, low-calorie, and sweetened with natural cane sugar.

“Red Mango is the perfect tasty treat for health conscious consumers in Houston,” said Joey Se, the owner of the Red Mango Rice Village store. “As a popular shopping destination with a strong business presence, and with its proximity to Rice University, Texas Medical Center and the Museum District, Rice Village is the perfect location for our Red Mango store.”

Red Mango is 100 percent all-natural, contains no fat and is certified gluten-free and kosher. Unlike many other frozen yogurts, Red Mango is made by licensed dairy manufacturers in the U.S., the same way real yogurt is made. Because of this differentiating factor, it offers a deliciously authentic natural flavor with all of the benefits of yogurt, such as calcium, protein and a significant amount of live and active cultures (also known as probiotics). In 2009, Red Mango began fortifying its yogurt with GanedenBC^30®, a patented strain of probiotic shown to help support and regulate the immune and digestive systems.

For more information about Red Mango’s delicious, all-natural frozen yogurt and treats, please visit www.redmangousa.com, its Facebook page at www.facebook.com/redmango, or on Twitter by following @RedMango.

About Red Mango:
Red Mango, the fastest growing retailer of authentic nonfat frozen yogurt, opened its first U.S. store in July 2007 in Los Angeles and has since celebrated more than 60 store openings across Arizona, California, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Minnesota, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin. Red Mango received Nation’s Restaurant News’ 2009 “Hot Concepts!” award and has been named the best frozen yogurt in Los Angeles, Seattle, Las Vegas, Chicago, Utah and New York by independent publications. Headquartered in Dallas, Red Mango serves uniquely delicious frozen yogurt that is all-natural, nonfat, gluten-free and packed with beneficial live and active probiotic cultures that support a healthy immune and digestive system. Red Mango’s frozen yogurt has been certified by the National Yogurt Association’s Live and Active Culture Seal for meeting the required criteria for healthy frozen yogurt. Additionally, Red Mango recently introduced the first iced teas fortified with probiotics.

Red Mango’s investors include CIC Advantage Holdings, LLC, a holding company formed by CIC Partners and leading retail restaurant operators to invest in and add value to multi unit retail companies.

Lucy's Legacy TV Spots on display in Times Square

noemail@onlyinhouston.org — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 14:00:00 GMT

Good morning ,

I wanted to share this great news about VT2's work being shown in Times Square.

The commercials created by VT2 Studios for the Lucy Legacy exhibit at the Houston Museum of Natural Science are now being displayed on 11 mammoth LED screens in the heart of New York's Times Square in full view of millions. The Times Square gig is just another feather in the hat of Houston's full service production company.

The Houston Museum of Natural Science hired VT2 Studios last year to create commercials touting its Lucy Legacy exhibit of the 3.2 million year old fossilized bones of a young African woman. The bones were discovered in 1976 in Hadar, Ethiopia. The exhibit is now on display at the New York City Museum of Natural History, which is located near Times Square. The Houston museum made the arrangements to run the VT2-produced commercial in Times Square to promote the exhibit in New York City.

The VT2-produced commercial began running in July and will appear through October on the multiple screens on the front of the Reuters and NASDAQ buildings in Times Square. Next to prime time television, visibility on the buildings in Times Square is considered to be primo locations for advertisers.

According Dan Pratt, a Senior Graphics Designer at VT2 Studios, the multiple screens that make up the Times Square display required considerable and complex re-editing of the original commercial. "It was a unique design challenge," said Pratt, "recreating the :30 second commercial to run independently on 11 custom screens - from a lobby screen to a 20-story building, all telling one story."

"It's truly a proud sign of accomplishment and credibility for VT2 Studios and our creative team," says Vic Tamborella, owner of VT2 Studios, "when our work meets the high quality standards expected and demanded for Times Square exposure."

We have a great team here at VT2 that I am thrilled to be a part of. Let me know if we can help you on future video projects.

Sincerely,
Becca Castillo

Ideas & MORE to Exhibit at Greater Houston Partnership Marketing Excellence Luncheon

noemail@onlyinhouston.org — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 22:00:00 GMT

Sugar Land, TX -- Ideas & MORE, a local creative services firm, will be one of the featured exhibitors at the upcoming and fifth annual Marketing Excellence Luncheon - Marketing Reconstruction Paving Your Way to Success. The event, Wednesday, September 23, 2009, is put on by the Marketing Subcommittee of the Professional Services Council for the Greater Houston Partnership of which Ideas & MORE, and its owner/creative director, Joe Fournet, is a member.

Since the main presentation by Ken Jones focuses on expanding one's market share through innovative marketing, Ideas & MORE felt this venue was a no-brainer to display some of what they do. "I serve on the subcommittee that put this together," said Mr. Fournet, "so I'm particularly interested in seeing it enjoy a wonderful turnout. There should be a wealth of information available to attendees expecting a worthwhile event. We'll certainly do our part to try and explain to other marketers and business owners how we can help them enhance their market share."

Ideas & MORE, in the Houston area since 1992, will be sharing its exhibition area with Marketing Syndicate, an integrated marketing services company, one of its strategic partners.
