Malibu Arts Festival

Coming up this weekend.
Armik Malekian will be joining us this weekend. He has worked from Brazil to New York to Paris in every area of visual art, but his first love is painting and creating a visual reflection of the emotional joy of life. His use of dramatic and bright lights creates a dramatic flow on figures in his paintings and captures the essence of his subjects.

Springboard South, Houston

WHY SPRINGBOARD SOUTH?

Because we’ve spent the past four years building out the most attractive festival musicians could ever hope to find. And that means we attract the best musical talent to perform for Houston every June.

HOW DO WE DO IT?

By offering artists much more than just the opportunity to rock one of our stages. In fact, performing is just one of the constellation of opportunities we provide our performers.

Every year, we host the Band Bootcamp – it puts performers in front of a group of professionals that’s legitimately unparalleled in Houston. We’re talking about people involved in launching and guiding superstars like Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Guns N Roses…over five years, we’ve accumulated an amazing list of mentors for our performers (if you’re interested in reading more, head over here).

SEO

Is social media part of an effective SEO strategy, or is does it require a different approach?

Search Results: We’ve been hearing for years that SEO is the only way to boost your search results, and the implications are there that if you aren’t investing in SEO, you’re not doing business right. But social media, as part of an SEO strategy might be providing better results on its own.

Social Renaissance

“At some point I predict a “social renaissance” where we put away our smart phones and actually talk to each other again, in person, face to face.  Anyone remember that?
Try this: At a dinner party, tell your guests to put their smart phones in a basket by the door. During the evening the person who picks up their phone first, pays for dinner! You’d be surprised how edgy this party could get.”
Martin Nethercutt, President
