During the last couple days here in LA, there’s been a tremendous police crack down on people who are operating their phones while driving. Five-O have been posted up on corners simply waiting for the light to turn red and giving tickets to people twiddling around with their phones. Texting, talking, YouTube-ing, downloading, “shazaam’ing,” taking self portraits, or whatever else today’s phones are capable of. I don’t yet know the number of tickets they’ve issued thus far, but when a friend of mine calls me from another part of town saying he’s seeing the same thing – at the same time (and we’re both on our phones) – then there’s definitely the smell of a universal trend in the air.
This got me to thinking. We as a society have become so obsessed with being connected that the government has had to institute LAWS to keep us safe from ourselves. And even still, those laws are broken tens of thousands of times over each day. Even my cab driver was on the phone while toting me around town. So not are we doing this while we’re in the car, or even simply on our phones, but everywhere we go, we are connected to what’s going on with everyone and everything at every moment. Facebook at work, YouTube in the bathroom (I’m guilty), IM’ing during business meetings, catching up on show clips during dinner, Playstation web browsers, and let’s not get started on Twitter or Twitpics!
As a business, its imperative – and often provides a better ROI – that you find ways to reach your audience, no matter where they are. It makes very little difference what your business is – you have an audience. Whether you publish books, have the #1 television show on the planet, design doggie clothes, sell homes, or you’re Joe the Plumber, your audience is there, and they are passionate about your business. Not only are they passionate about your business, but they’re obsessive about exploration and connectivity, in a way that the world has never seen. Gone are the days of the family gathered on the couch to watch how Frosted Mini Wheats brings out the kid in you. Today we’re bringing the kid out in you by offering online games, video contests, branded entertainment, cool in-store events, weird viral videos and a balls out funky good time no matter where you are. THEN you’ll eat the cereal. And after that you’ll keep coming back for more. Even if it means getting a traffic citation to do so.
Genius Effect’s role will basically be to increase awareness through social media, website development, image archiving, video, and strategic partnership development. The first evening Art Walk series begins in June!

As most of you know, Genius Effect has been working with a group of television channels recently launched in 14 European countries this month. The seven channels cover everything from hip hop to finance, to comedy, games, children’s programming, travel, lifestyle, sustainable living and everything in between. 24 hours of programming, 11 million viewers, all niche American content. The channels are satellite and cable broadcasts in countries like Germany, France, Northern Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Kosovo, Montenegro, Bosnia, Croatia, and several others. Partners in the venture, are uber entertainment attorney, Mark Geragos, seasoned network executive and lawyer, Lisa Jones Johnson, and founder, Carol Davis.
As the media landscape has shifted tremendously, many corporate advertising efforts have shifted from the 30-second spots to multi-media interactive experiences. In this phase we are looking to partner with brands and advertiser who have an interest in increasing their foothold in the territories previously mentioned by creating (or working with existing) short programming. The consumer experiences will exist on-air and incorporate on-line, mobile, gaming, live events and/or other forms of social media related to the product and/or the series. Creatively, the playing field is wide open and this is an exciting time to develop compelling and engaging entertainment within a great set of diverse and affluent markets.
We’re more than glad to discuss details and set up meetings as needed to get you more informed on creating opportunities. Feel free to reach us at info[at]geniuseffectla.com For more information on Global Broadcasting and the venture, please visit www.globalbroadcastingcompany.tv.
