Pop|Funk|Rock and Roll|Swiss Barbie Bone arrives

Published by EOTM News Editor on July 10th, 2011 - in Celebrity News, Hip Hop Artists, Music, Publicity

Swiss Barbie Bone

Not Just a Trend

She is here to Stay!

When Swiss Barbie Bone was a little girl, she would sing into her decorated pink, purple and green painted brush to Cyndi Lauper’s, “Girls just want to have Fun,” twirling to melodies that were her existence, her meaning. The precocious Swiss Barbie in the making would dance around the table using bread sticks as batons and just as easy create the prettiest tea party dress from a sheet of fabric and finger paint.

It’s no wonder that little girl from Oakland turned into the exhibitionist, multi talented pop artist – songwriter – fashion designer with a flair for theatrics.

“I was always an entertainer,” says Swiss Barbie – who without a doubt created a major buzz for herself virally.

Born and raised in the Bay area to a middle class couple, the young Barbie — who is in her twenties was a well-adjusted kid.  She was okay being different than the neighborhood kids, in fact it helped her to recognize her outre’ sense of style as a recording artist, in fashion, in performance and in her music videos.

After high school she continued to study music and performance honing in on her craft.

Her parents, creative souls themselves allowed her the freedom to become who she chose to become and for this, we thank them.

Swiss Barbie Bone started writing music at a very young age and eventually began writing hooks for some of the hottest names in the hip hop game. Before her debut into music she worked behind the scenes managing hip hop artist, working with labels such as Cash Money via promotions as well as casting some of Hollywood’s A-lister’s.

“ I always loved pop, rock and rhythm & blues. When I discovered Cindi Lauper, David Bowie, Aretha Franklin, Grace Jones, Josephine Baker and Marilyn Monroe is when it really came together for me and I realized I could do whatever I wanted to do, there were no limits,” says Swiss. “I look at those artists as icons in art and that is where I live as an artist and that is what I want to accomplish.”

Like any worthy performance artist, Swiss Barbie Bone actively encourages debate and speculation about everything Swiss Barbie Bone.

“If they are talking about me, that’s a good thing..I must be doing something right. This is what I was made for, I will be here for awhile..get use to it,” says SBB.

“It’s Barbie” the single is now available for download.

Got a Budget: get the Power of Publicity

Published by EOTM Press Room on May 7th, 2011 - in Public Relations, Publicity

www.eotmmediagroup.com

No matter what type of business you’re in, you can’t beat the power of publicity for drawing attention to all that you have to offer.  Whether you’re selling green tea, music or looking for more acting gigs, your exceptional products or services won’t matter if your target market doesn’t know about you.  Simply put, it’s your opportunity to put a friendly face on your business/service and acquaint the marketplace with who you are and what you do.

The nightly news and daily newspapers are still here. But, they are evolving too. We understand that a media outlet has more than one avenue. Your customers can still find you by tuning in, or turning a page.

However, the added dimension of social media means they can also receive their news via tweet, RSS feed, a post or blog. Traditional PR channels still exist and we work with them every day. But the power of PR lies in understanding that more than one publicity opportunity resides within each outlet.

EOTM Public Relations is a innovative and aggressive PR firm that delivers results. Regardless of your industry, we understand that you need to have your story told by the media in order to build awareness… and more importantly… drive sales. Let us help!

Life’s a Tweet/Life’s a Pitch/Twitter Publicist

Published by EOTM Press Room on March 16th, 2011 - in Breaking News, EOTM News, Public Relations, Publicity

By: Twitter Publicist aka Carla B

 

 

It seems that more and more, we are turning to Twitter for the latest news and events around the world.  Even public safety officials are using Twitter to stay on top of the latest developments. We know that the public, first responders and journalists are using Twitter to learn about trends and breaking news. As of late, there has been a spike in media and pr professionals utilizing twitter to their advantage and EOTM PR is one of them.

“One way to stay on top of breaking news related to your clients is to set up searches on Twitter for general topic areas related to your client’s work.  For example, set up a search for “booking actors” and “actors” in addition to your client’s name if their work is in the entertainment field. While it may not catch all of the latest news for booking actors, you may see a few tweets relating to an upcoming casting that you can start to follow”, Carla Barnes, Senior Publicist for EOTM said in an recent interview.

Right now there is no better source for breaking news than Twitter, and EOTM PR professionals are using this to their advantage whenever possible. “You should keep your tools for monitoring Twitter open all day and check it regularly because you never know when the perfect opportunity for your client will come up”, Barnes said.

What has your Publicist tweeted for you lately?

There’s no question that Twitter is the new playground for media relations. It’s a new frontier, that when managed professionally, can serve as a powerful platform and one of the best resources for getting a message out to the masses.

Does Negative Publicity Help or Hurt your Business?

Published by EOTM Press Room on January 26th, 2011 - in Public Relations, Publicity, Uncategorized

By: Carla B

@EOTMpr

 

 

 

A couple days ago I asked this very question on my facebook page, “Does negative publicity help or hurt your business?”

In my humble opinion, I do believe negative publicity helps a business. Lots of movie stars seems to thrive on negative publicity. Several others have intentionally orchestrated negativity publicity to get into the limelight although many won’t admit it.

But there’s one word of caution here, if your business has a lousy product that no one wants or the business uses unethical means and abuses the customer’s trust then no amount of publicity positive or negative will help.

Why does negative publicity work?

I hate to say this but as a society, people love to see people fight, love to see a super star fall apart whether it’s a 50 cent, Michael Jackson, Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears. Our society gets its thrills from seeing successful people fall apart. Donald Trump came into the public eye when he was close to a $ 10 billion bankruptcy and in the middle of a dirty divorce. When the Gap unveiled a new logo last year, the reaction was swift, intense and very, very negative. In fact, some people detested the look so much it actually inspired them: somebody set up a Twitter account (@GapLogo) that purported to speak in the unpopular design’s voice, and someone else built a site called CrapLogo.me that made it easy to convert any short text into an imitation of the brand’s new style. The Gap tried to pivot off the negative buzz by asking the online hate mob for advice, in a sort of “crowd sourcing” gimmick, but that didn’t go over well, either. In just four days, the company capitulated and announced that it would not change its logo after all.

Britney Spears stays in the limelight for all the wrong reasons and who can forget the late great Michael Jackson from court cases to financial troubles.

I am not saying they are intentionally orchestrating negative publicity, but the point I am making is negative publicity is giving them media attention and they are getting visibility for themselves.  How they use this visibility is an entirely different ball game altogether.

Better that people are talking about your brand than not…just my two cents.

5 Strategies- Internet Marketing Help & Public Relations Ethics Carla Barnes

Published by EOTM Press Room on January 25th, 2011 - in Branding, Business, Creative Marketing, EOTM News, EOTM Radio, Internet Radio, Marketing, Public Relations, Publicity

By: Carla B

 

Carla’s take on Public Relations — Ethics

Carla B is a seasoned leader in Public Relations and Media

 

I absolutely love these types of show whereas we can empower minds with food for thought! These shows are dedicated to the elite group of professionals that take the time to hone in on they’re craft. The central purpose of my portion of the show will be to provide an overview of ethics in public relations.

Every Public Relations organization has a code of ethics which the members are expected to abide. The primary objective of this code of ethics is to form guidelines to educate members on how they should conduct themselves in their professional lives. Despite these guidelines, ethics in individual practice is deeply troubling for PR professionals and consistent violation has been a matter of debate for years. Most critics have complained that the ethics ‘have no teeth’ and one cynic as quoted by PR Sourcewatch says, “real ethical behavior is expensive, and that’s where the PR industry’s ethical dilemma
originates. All of the major public relations firms routinely engage in unethical practices and they don’t do it because they are evil people. They do it because their wealthy clients have problems, and cleaning up their image is often easier and cheaper than cleaning up their mess’.

In this section I will also discuss how having a strong sense of ethics and of how to arrive at ethical decisions can enhance the career prospects of public relations professionals. Hope you can make it! Check out my Public Relations and Blog Site for more info on me. EOTM Radio, call in with your question to 718-664-6543

Gucci Mane Ice Cream Tattoo Proves He’s Crazy..?

Published by EOTM Press Room on January 17th, 2011 - in Actors, Artists Development, Breaking News, Celebrity News, Creative Marketing, Public Relations, Publicity

Gucci Mane sporting his new tattoo

If he was looking for a creative defense on his recent string of probation violations, the ice cream tattoo should definitely put him closer to his supposedly mental disorder angle. The rapper, who was recently released from a psychiatric facility after pleading “mental incompetency”, had an ice cream cone tattooed onto his face earlier this month.

Yes, you heard and seen it right. Gucci Mane is now sporting a cone with three scoops on his right cheek, complete with the word “Brrr” and several red lightning bolts!!

Mane was recently released from the psychiatric facility, it is unclear what his release means for his probation status.

Gucci’s team probably thought they could use mental instability to help get him off, especially considering he has never presented himself as a emcee with any real lyrical depth; and the majority of his rhymes being nonsensical and lacking critical thinking.  Nevertheless, I don’t feel most of Gucci’s fans would have ever speculated that he was mentally incompetent, but nice try.

The Social Network Wins BIG at the Golden Globes

Published by EOTM Press Room on January 17th, 2011 - in Breaking News, Celebrity News, Clients and Events, Oscars 2011, Politics, Public Relations, Publicity

January 16, 2011

By: EOTM Staff


BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. – The “Social Network” won top honors Sunday at the Golden Globes with four prizes, including best drama and director, solidifying its prospects as an Academy Awards favorite. Congrats!

The Social Network received more nominations than any other movie this year from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which runs the Golden Globe Awards.

While Facebook publicists maintain that the movie isn’t a factually correct account of the company, the public has come to regard it as such. So the multiple Globe wins, including best dramatic picture, seems to benefit the real-life social network.

The timing of the Globes tends to influence people’s expectations for the Oscars, although the former includes television while the latter only deals with movies. Nominations for the 83rd annual Academy Awards are expected to be announced at 8:30 am January 25, and the ceremony will take place February 27.

EOTM Radio and Media are one of the first new media companies to auction radio ad packages on eBay!

The Who

EOTM Media Group is a company that produces podcasts and Internet streams for future syndication’s. EOTM also produces top-quality customized jingles at a discounted price and sell these advertisements on eBay and other online sites.

The Why

Media consumption has changed to where the 35 and below crowd chooses how it spends time not by program or radio personality, but by CONTENT.

The How

What EOTM radio does is creates high quality jingles, commercial ad spots, etc “cents on the dollar” compared with what it costs traditional radio stations. While also selling advertising for these programs for a fraction of what radio stations charge.

The Network

The EOTM Radio Network is made up of over nineteen shows to date: the “Queen’s of Internet Radio,” a podcast featuring Carla B, Saytue Saye, Shonta Gibson, Ramona Simpson, Quddusa Anderson and Ashley Carter. Louis Smith aka Tre Luv of the Tre Luv Show, Saytue Saye of the Mixture of Arts Show, Ashley Carter aka DJ Rilotti of the Myspace Music Mix, Teangelo of Love, Hate and the Dance Between Them, Rahn Anthoni of the Rahn Anthoni Inspirational Hour, DJ Team of Let’s Face Reality, E!

All programs are available at www.EOTMRadio.com.

Something New!

On December 8,  2010, EOTM Radio offered a 60 second customized radio jingle(earmarked for local radio and internet radio use) The package includes custom written melody and lyrics, 15 second jingle intro, 15 second jingle outro, 30 second doughnut music beds and 1 CD of final mix. Bid on the ad now via eBay.

“Internet Radio Ad”s, Trending Now!

On the internet side of this fence, there are few online radio stations that can claim to have a “program” of any sense – community or interest-oriented, EOTM is the exception. The lowest common demoninator for online streams is talk radio and music. EOTM Radio’s content is a plethora of talk/music radio shows focusing on a wide variety of cultural views and  an abundance of songs that does not necessarily resemble each other, which creates a more positive listening experience that keeps listeners coming back.
