BusinessTVChannel.com Launches New Online Television Show – CEO Moms

(PRWEB) March 21, 2005

Mothers who’ve decided to balance their lives by starting a business from home while raising a family now will have an online portal for resources and support. On March 7, businesstvchannel.com launched the online television show “CEO Moms.” A new segment will air every Monday and each show will be available to members on demand for 30 days thereafter.

“CEO Moms” will provide a convenient place for mothers to access pertinent information, have questions answered, gain business ideas and create a support system of other mothers who are working from home. Hosted by Valerie Kinsey Harris, each show she will interview a different mom who has started a business from home or is considering leaving a job or career to do so.

Harris hopes the show will give women the inspiration and support they need to pursue their dreams. “It’s a difficult decision for women to decide to run a business from home while raising a family,” said Harris. “Most of them have been conditioned to believe that you have to choose. ‘CEO Moms’ will show them real-life cases of mothers who have succeeded at having both – and they’re happier because of it.”

The show will also serve as a resource for mothers who have already joined the CEO Moms population. Mothers currently running businesses will have access to information on many topics including finances, operations, marketing, networking and dealing with isolation.

Upcoming shows for “CEO Moms” include a discussion with a mother who recently left a demanding career to launch a small, home-based marketing firm, a look at how a busy event planner manages her schedule while raising her son and a discussion with a telecommuting non-profit consultant about how she balances her family, work and personal lives.

Aired online by businesstvchannel.com, “CEO Moms” is part of a website that provides a one-stop-shop for entrepreneurs to access pertinent information for their respective businesses. Small business owners may access the information 24-hours a day. Online shows discuss topics such as human resources, finances, cross cultural diversity, leisure and relaxation.

“One of the things we find common amongst most small business owners is that they’re starved for time and information,” said Ruth King, owner and operator of businesstvchannel.com. “They often don’t have time to watch a scheduled television show. With our format and today’s technological advancements, entrepreneurs may watch our shows on-demand at anytime day or night.”

ATLANTA (PRWEB) August 12, 2005

– DeKalb County and Freddie Mac have teamed up to host the HoopsAtlanta Three-on-Three Basketball Tournament to help raise awareness and funds for agencies that serve Atlanta’s homeless population.

Pop star Usher will join the partnership and serve as the celebrity host of the event, which is the first of its kind in the Atlanta area. The tournament will be held on Saturday, September 3rd, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. on the New Birth Church campus in Lithonia. The charitable event will directly benefit 10 agencies that serve the homeless with outreach, housing, employment, and food programs in the Atlanta area.

DeKalb County, an active member of the Regional Commission on Homelessness, recognized the need to address this epidemic in the Atlanta area. A February 2005 census found nearly 7,000 homeless people in the City of Atlanta and DeKalb and Fulton counties. Of these, more than 2,000 were living on the streets, while the rest were in emergency shelters or transitional housing. Children make up more than 10% of the homeless in the area. Census organizers estimate that more than 20,000 individuals in the area will experience homelessness during 2005.

“The HoopsAtlanta initiative is one with an urgent message – homelessness is an epidemic we face as a country and its important to always look in our back yards to figure out how to help solve the problem. Our goal with this event is to bring awareness to the community about the hundreds of families who are without housing and stability,” said Vaughn Irons, National Director of Housing and Community Investment for Freddie Mac. The agencies benefiting from the HoopsAtlanta event are: 24/7 Gateway Center; Atlanta Community Food Bank; Crossroads Community Ministries; Decatur Cooperative Ministry; Hosea Feed the Hungry and Homeless; Jerusalem House; Latin American Association; Our House, Inc.; Nicholas House, Inc.; and Trinity Community Ministries.

The tournament format will be 48 teams competing in single elimination play. Winning teams will advance to a single elimination play-off to determine the tournament champion. Teams must have a minimum of three players and no more than five. Teams who advance to the Sweet 16, Elite Eight, Final Four, and Championship game will be awarded a celebrity coach. Confirmed celebrity coaches are Usher; Atlanta Falcons’ TJ Duckett, Allen Rossum and DeAngelo Hall; Atlanta Hawks’ Josh Smith; and former Hawks – Charlie Criss and Dan Roundfield.

“We’re looking for all skill levels to come out and compete in the tournament. At HoopsAtlanta, it’s anyone’s ball game! It will be a fun and competitive day for participants and spectators. We’re looking to make history with this inaugural HoopsAtlanta event,” said Morris Williams, DeKalb County’s Assistant County Administrator.

In conjunction with the tournament, DeKalb County will host their Family Fun Day. The festival will include kids’ activities with inflatable games; health screenings provided by CVS; credit checks from Freddie Mac; dental screenings; live entertainment; and local entertainment.

The cost of the registration is $ 1,000 per team. Teams can register by calling Joy Graham at SWI Consulting at 770.441.5050. Team check-in is at 7 a.m. Sponsorship opportunities are also available. Spectator tickets are: $ 12 /ages 12 and over; $ 5 /ages 4 – 11; and free for youth under four with an adult. Tickets can be purchased at Called to Conquest book store in StoneCrest Mall; at the information booth at The Gallery located in South DeKalb Mall; or online at http://www.hoopsatlanta.org.

The Kentucky New Era Selects ThePort for Social Media Initiative

Atlanta (PRWEB) July 17, 2007

Leading social media solutions provider ThePort Network (ThePort?) today announced that The Kentucky New Era, the longest-standing newspaper in Hopkinsville, Ky., has used ThePort Social Media Suite to transform its static website into a dynamic portal and online community that lets readers interact and contribute content.

ThePort Social Media Suite offers the first platform that enables rapid deployment and management of branded Web 2.0 online communities. Publishers, sports and entertainment brands, and others are relying on ThePort to enhance their websites with social media capabilities that include personalized news feeds, blogging, photo and video-sharing, and more.

“We needed a cost-effective hosted solution that would allow us to more fully engage our web readers, capture the value and momentum of online communities and harness the power of user contributed content,” said Taylor Hayes, publisher of The Kentucky New Era.

The paper has maintained a web presence for several years at http://www.kentuckynewera.com, a site that reproduced copy from the print edition and was received well, yet offered little new content. The new social media features were integrated to attract new readers, encourage repeat visits and facilitate online interactive communication in the Hopkinsville community.

“Rising online news consumption and reader gravitation toward social networking web sites present newspaper publishers with online properties a tremendous opportunity,” said ThePort CEO and Co-Founder Bob Cramer. “The staff at The Kentucky New Era recognized these trends and wanted to integrate social networking features with an excellent hyper-local content offering. By using interactive tools such as blogs and photo-sharing, the paper is giving readers a more active voice in their community and in how they receive news.”

This interaction has a positive effect on the publication’s bottom line as well. With readers spending more time on the site due to the new interactive capabilities, The Kentucky New Era can offer advertisers greater visibility with potential customers, in turn justifying higher advertising rates and opening new revenue streams.

“As standalone features, blogs, photo-sharing and even video-sharing aren’t new to the world of newspaper web sites,” explained Cramer. “However, ThePort is the first comprehensive offering of all these features on one platform with central web-based management and reporting.”

ThePort Social Media Suite offers rapid deployment for new websites, as well as seamless integration with existing sites. Private-label communities can be operational in just days.

About The Kentucky New Era

The Kentucky New Era (established in 1869) takes pride in being the longest operating business in Hopkinsville, Ky. Outlasting more than 40 competitors, it is also the only newspaper published in the area since 1813 that is still operating today. For more information, visit http://www.kentuckynewera.com.

About ThePort Network

Network, Inc. provides an integrated suite of enterprise-class social media solutions that enables companies to build and manage branded Web 2.0 communities that facilitate high-engagement marketing, foster increased member-to-member interaction and create additional revenue opportunities.

“In 2007, I have made a multi-million dollar investment in our brand expansion culminating in the September launch of http://www.gordonrush.com," said Gordon Rush, the company’s President, Founder, CEO and Designer. “The site will present an extended brand experience and be the number one destination for the Gordon Rush customer for e-commerce, exclusive product offerings and brand news.”

Advertising Veterans Launch Departure

San Diego (PRWEB) September 28, 2007

With more than 30 years of combined experience, advertising veterans Art Bradshaw and Emily Rex today announced they have partnered to create Departure. Departure is a progressive advertising agency that gives aggressive brands the power to confidently address “the new”: new media, new conceptual approaches and new ways of making sense of the changing reality of the market.

With offices in San Diego and Los Angeles, Departure is focused on customers in the technology, restaurant and hospitality, financial, tourism and media entertainment industries. Departure embraces the traditional strengths of advertising – strategy and creative – and brings those brand concepts into areas of marketing that traditional agencies are unequipped to address. As a result, clients are given a unique opportunity to create high-impact advertising across the entire online and offline marketing spectrum.

Departure works with its clients to help them identify the Compelling Truth?. The Compelling Truth is defined as the single most important statement a company can make about itself – communicated in a dramatic way. After Departure creates the Compelling Truth, its in-house experts find ways to drive that message across multiple online and offline channels.

“For us, marketing is agnostic in terms of media we exploit,” says Departure Principal and Chief Creative Officer, Art Bradshaw. “Some of our clients benefit from broadcast, while others can leverage the Web to drive traffic and further their relationships with their customers. By integrating the two, the client gains a tangible competitive edge that can’t be created with the patchwork process for which many clients and agencies have settled.”

To further its expertise in taking brand concepts online, Departure has formed a relationship with Digitaria, a leading independent digital marketing and technology firm also headquartered in San Diego. “We have partnered with Digitaria for their longstanding success in interactive, and their dedication to client service and creative excellence online,” said Departure Principal and Director of Account Management, Emily Rex. “Our teams are truly integrated and working together to provide the level of innovation and thinking that our clients need to have online.”

Digitaria has worked with many of the biggest brands in the country including the Atlanta Falcons, CBS Corporation, FOX, Hasbro Corporation, KCET Hollywood, NBC Universal, QUALCOMM, Ryland Homes, TaylorMade-adidasGolf and many others. “Departure can take a 10,000 foot view of a brand and drive it down to something very specific through their Compelling Truth process,” said Digitaria CEO, Daniel Khabie. “We have already engaged Departure with several of our clients, and all of them have been incredibly happy with the brand strategy and broadcast skill set. In addition, Departure’s online media and planning group will play an active role with existing Digitaria clients.”

Bradshaw and Rex have experience building brands for Harley Davidson, San Diego Zoo, Pick Up Stix Restaurants, Nestle, WD-40, Nissan, General Motors, and many others. Rex has worked in various account management roles for McCann-Erickson, Campbell Mithun and MeadsDurket – all located in San Diego. Bradshaw has served in various creative roles at agencies including Los Angeles-based Chiat/Day, New York-based interactive company, Zentropy and the San Diego office of McCann-Erickson.

About Departure

Somewhere between the old way and the new way is something called the point of departure. The end of what was. And the beginning of what should be. Departure is a progressive advertising agency that gives aggressive brands the power to confidently address “the new”: new media, new conceptual approaches and new ways of making sense of the changing reality of the market. Departure offers a wide range of capabilities including traditional, new media and more.

With offices in San Diego and Los Angeles, Departure is focused on clients in the technology, restaurant and hospitality, financial, tourism and media entertainment industries. For more information on Departure, please visit departureadvertising.com.
