Just Plug Me

There was a Sitcom titled “Just Shoot Me” with David Spade, Laura San Giacomo, Wendie Malik, and George Segal with more cast of course. But the shows premise was about a fashion magazine editor competing against his rival, mogul Donald Trump. And like any good story about fashion magazine’s or top branded magazines in general is who’s going to make the cover. I remember in college I had a bet with a close friend and photo journalist major on who would make the cover of Times next issue, I lost, but we both knew it was going to be big. Having a great photo shoot with the right stylist and model could outsell your competition. Similarly Hollywood had the same issues with their publicity and actors, and when a star got a good write-up in the press; they shouted “what a great plug about me” here read it for yourself an actor might say to a friend in company! I always knew the cover was the best real estate a Magazine could have which was no different than a news papers headline which sometimes used news hawkers on the corner to scream Extra, Extra Read all about it. This is the Genesis of how media makes stars of us!

I understand the importance just like you how valuable PR is and the strife for success with limited funds. While funds for traditional media outreach are very expensive, we must use many grassroots measures to still give our young emerging companies a chance. So if and when you get a cover shot or a plug as I like to say, it’s simply wonderful and can propel one to greater heights. Social media platforms have given us that grassroots opportunity and it’s becoming the norm while taking a Hugh bite out of traditional means. I created yet another site to assist in what I have searched for and wish was available to me. Generally that’s what you hear people say when they start a business, “I created this business because I couldn’t find anyone who could make what I need” I want someone to guide me through areas I know least about. In other word, help me find what the hell I’m looking for!

After 8 Media has its cross hairs fixed on being that cover shot or plug as you know I like to say for emerging artist of various genres. Come one come all, enjoy the party because it’s on us, stay as long as you like, drink as much as you want “designated driver required of course” eat as if you suffered famine and spread the love! I’m not going to stop until someone from this site makes it to the pinnacle, and even then it will just be the beginning. GLJ
