Megaphone hit a milestone today. Just wrapping up a successful RMT. Upon invoicing, noticed that this was the 500th project for Megaphone. I want to say a special thanks to Chris Murray for #500, and he was one of our first projects too!

Happy Memorial Day. I want to send a special thanks to the Final Responders. Megaphone Media won an RFP for a TV PSA distribution. The PSA performance has done blockbusters—Neilsen ratings larger than the Oscars in the first week. On the back of these results, they are now also doing radio, again for the US and Canada. Thanks again Final Responders on this Memorial Day.

Two years ago today, I was at Opening Day at Dodger Stadium. Was supposed to be there last year, and a thang called COVID happened. Just did a RMT for a Fantasy Sports client on Spring Training and Opening Day, did great, 20+ interviews, 10M+ in audience. Hoping that this is a sign that we are on our way to normalcy! Play Ball!

Rihanna Outdoes Herself Again — See Stunning Photos From Her Latest Savage x Fenty Show

I want to say thanks to our Art Department. All aspects of anything that we produce have a consistent, professional look and feel. They not only make our proposals pretty, they also apply the same quality work to our shoots and live events. When not working with us, among many other projects, our Art Director designed the Sports Illustrated Super Bowl Party at the Fountainbleau in Miami, and recently was part of the creative team that designed the Rihanna Savage X Fenty show. The head of our Art Department is also my brother. Thanks Jeremy! Happy Holidays to All, Kyle. https://www.popsugar.com/fashion/savage-x-fenty-2020-runway-show-pictures-47847421

The entire show will also be available to stream on Amazon Prime Video starting Oct. 2.

09/24/2020

Just was notified that of 5 agencies, Megaphone Media was chosen through the RFP process to do a major PSA distribution surrounding COVID-19. Megaphone always strives to deliver optimal results in an economical, efficient manner for all our services. An RFP is truly a level playing field, so winning these industry-wide RFPs helps validate our methods!

Helping with the launch of the first “Smart” light that is completely programmable for horticulture. This is just the beginning, I want to see this company become the first in category---they are already as they are the only company in this sector!

06/23/2020

This morning we did our first SMT since the lock down. Until now, been pushing people towards radio as there is something sloppy about Skype tours. RMTs have been fine. For this healthcare SMT, we had a rock star doctor and 23+ interviews!

03/12/2020

Unfortunately, like just about everything about now, The Racing for Lives launch event at The Classic Car Club of Manhattan tonight has been postponed due to the Corona Virus. Will keep you posted on when it will be rescheduled. Thanks for your support, Kyle.

Megaphone is driving the PR for a new nonprofit, Racing for Lives. Their campaign is a completely new approach to take on the Opiate epidemic. Please join us for the Launch Party. If you would like to come just let me know and I will put you on the list:

Racing For Lives Happy Hour
DATE Thursday, March 12, 2020TIME 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM (Eastern Standard Time)VENUE Classic Car Club Manhattan, 1 PIER 76, 408 12th Ave, New York

Racing for Lives is a mission-driven non-profit tapping the pro auto racing community to drive awareness around America's ferocious opioid epidemic.
Their next plan of attack: The Racing For Lives Action Circuit — an eight-race experience across the country to help drive urgency and action. They're entering the Pirelli GT4 America Pro Racing Series as a team and aim to hold Rallies for Hope along the way to engage affected communities.

Come on over and get in on the goodwill as we welcome RFL's movers and shakers, as well as Terry Borcheller, Professional Sportscar Racer/ RFL Lead Driver, for their racecar unveiling launch event. Grab a pint or glass of vino (first rounds on RFL!) and enjoy passed canapes while browsing exciting silent auctions should you be impassioned to aide the cause.

Just saw a survey from a competitor that SMTs are making a “comeback”. Spending for 2019 was up 21%-probably because these vendors have to pass on the $6-10K in worthless TV placements. If a small add buy in the real world is $8M, what do you think that you are getting for multiple stations for less than $10K? Megaphone’s SMT are 100% earned and that is why our SMTs are so much less expensive than other broadcast PR companies-we are not paying for worthless placements.

01/16/2020

Just got approval on multiple versions of an educational video in English, French, Spanish, CC’ing and After Effects. So much detail for such a wonderful video!

08/22/2019

Just completed a 24 interview Healthcare SMT. Unlike other vendors, all of our interviews are earned because we don’t charge enough to buy spots!

07/11/2019

Doing the media relations for PACO’s free test prep course for the NJ State Police Exam. This program is an effort to drive more diversity and women into the police force. Press conference is July 17th with Jersey City Mayor M. Fulop.

06/20/2019

Today Megaphone had another successful Healthcare RMT, 20+ interviews. Got to love it when you get the following feedback from the station on air: “I feel smarter after interviewing the doctor”.

06/03/2019

Robo Calls are the bane of our existence, particularly the “Don’t hang up the phone, your Google listing is out of date”. I decided to ask the Google Machine, “TV PSA Production”, and Megaphone is the #1 listing. Surprise that a Robo Call is wrong!

04/24/2019

May 5th is the New Jersey AIDS Walk. Megaphone has set up interviews, done a radio PSA distribution and a B-Roll to promote this wonderful event. This is the fifth year that we have worked together and it keeps getting bigger and bigger!
