Walter Yetnikoff
The first independent, vertically integrated African-American owned film studio that produces television programming, theatrical and DVD releases. Outspoken Media implemented a successful email marketing campaign for Shaquille O'Neil Presents: All Star Comedy Jam - Live from South Beach in order to increase consumer awareness. The comedy show was filmed during the American Black Film Festival in South Beach and debuted on the premium cable television network Showtime.
This is the nation's largest African-American film festival. Our staff provided publicity expertise that generated positive media and online mentions, increased media impressions, and created awareness for ABFF. Many major media outlets were effectively utilized such as CNN, ESPN, BET, New York Post, and New York Times Magazine. In 2009, the campaign generated over 27 million media impressions.
The aqua blue drink was dubbed "the drink of choice of celebrities" by WNBC-TV. Outspoken Media was carefully selected to create a cross-cultural branding initiative that targeted urban and multicultural consumers. We hosted a red carpet film premiere in South Beach that successfully integrated their brand message into an exclusive entertainment experience.
The former CEO of CBS Records (Sony Music Entertainment) influenced the careers of Michael Jackson, Bruce Springstein, Barbara Streisand, and Billy Joel. After being retired from the music industry for years, we helped relaunch his career by fusing his business expertise with the Hip-Hop Generation. Our consulting services led to Mr. Yetnikoff working with Grammy Award-Winning music producer Rockwilder, among others.
