Joli challenge marketing pour un demes clients deux films à sortir le même jour

OUR FILMS

SOLO (Adventure/Thriller)

After a business woman reluctantly joins forces with her inventor ex-husband who has built the world’s first commercial flying car, rival companies and military factions want the technology at any cost.

DUET (Romantic Dramedy)

Upon reconnecting with her ex-husband’s rockstar client and every woman’s heart throb, Cass finds herself in a romantic triangle with two modern-day knights who want to protect her and the flying car company she’s helped build.
The production ($8.5 M US) plan for SOLO and DUET calls for filming in Alberta and/or British Columbia, Canada. The provincial governments are offering significant tax benefits to new film projects, in addition to a significant discount thanks to a strong US dollar.

OUR PROPOSITION

Implementing the Hitchcock Knot

Both films are independently marketable and have pleasing endings that will tempt the viewer into seeing the other film.
Seeing both of the stand-alone films, in either order, gives the viewer additional story-lines and mysteries that are only recognized and solved if both films are seen.
Which movie a viewer sees first dramatically skews the viewer’s experience with the characters and the stories.
The films share select budgets including select scenes, characters, music, marketing and distribution, dramatically dropping overall costs.

LET'S MEET DURING AFM TO DISCUSS YOUR INVOLVEMENT

Meet Terri Hitchcock and her team from The Other Hitchcock Entertainment during AFM November (4 - 11) at the Loews. Contact us to take a meeting and discuss our pitchdeck and unique proposition. Reach out on our Cell:  +1 403-970-9203  or by e-mail terri@tohentertainment.com

Comment Facebook vous fourgue des likes bidon$

Vous ne vous êtes jamais demandé pourquoi votre timeline parait de moins en moins active?
Pourquoi vos publications sont si peu vues?

La faute au filtrage de Facebook et au business des Click Farms en Inde Bangladesh Pakistan...
Y compris sur les likes que vous ciblez avec vos campagnes...

Evidence Facebook's revenue is based on fake likes.
My first vid on the problem with Facebook: http://bit.ly/1dXudqY
I know first-hand that Facebook's advertising model is deeply flawed. When I paid to promote my page I gained 80,000 followers in developing countries who didn't care about Veritasium (but I wasn't aware of this at the time). They drove my reach and engagement numbers down, basically rendering the page useless. I am not the only one who has experienced this. Rory Cellan-Jones had the same luck with Virtual Bagel:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-...

The US Department of State spent $630,000 to acquire 2 million page likes and then realized only 2% were engaged.http://wapo.st/1glcyZo

I thought I would demonstrate that the same thing is still happening now by creating Virtual Cat (http://www.facebook.com/MyVirtualCat). I was surprised to discover something worse - false likes are coming from everywhere, including Canada, the US, the UK, and Australia. So even those carefully targeting their campaigns are likely being duped into spending real money on fake followers. Then when they try to reach their followers they have to pay again.

And it's possible to be a victim of fake likes without even advertising. Pages that end up on Facebook's "International Suggested Pages" are also easy targets for click-farms seeking to diversify their likes. http://tnw.co/NsflrC

Thanks to Henry, Grey, and Nessy for feedback on earlier drafts of this video.
