EXPERIMENTAL MARKETING
GOAL
Create a launch for a book whose message read “The days in which media and entertainment culture are fueled by a small number of hits are over because the internet has created a way for the niche to have an audience.” This is the premise conceived by Chris Anderson, editor-in-chief of “WIRED” Magazine and author of the magazine’s book, The Long Tail.
BOOK LAUNCH
RESULT
Curated an event and promotional give-away CD featuring various artists. Over 1,000 guests came to celebrate The Long Tail’s release with a screening presentation and performances by James Murphy, multi-lingual Brazilian Girls, bilingual Aloe Blacc and booty-lingual Spank Rock. Press coverage in the New York Times, “Fader” magazine, Gawker, Mediabistro.com and other news outlets helped push The Long Tail to number one on Amazon.com.

BRAND CONSULTING
GOAL
Develop a real-world persona for online culture purveyor Flavorpill.net. Publishing nine cultural email magazines sent to over 650,000 subscribers, Flavorpill thrives on its readers’ desire to be immersed in cutting-edge art, fashion, music, design and literature.

Trial consumption fell into the hands of the niche, tastemaker audience. The campaign unleashed a flood of brand awareness with the elusive target demographic, the trade and the media, increasing distribution interest.

2006: The Year in Parties
When He Wasn’t Partying:
Mick Rock, The famed
lensman launched a
worldwide campaign
and concurrent exhibi-
tion with Ray-Ban.
Cause Celebre.
“My favorite party
of the year was the
Food Bank event at
Chelsea piers,
where Michael Stipe
was honored for his
generous charitable
work and
donated rock prints
(including a couple of
mine) that generated
some plump wedge
for the cause.”
November 16, 20061:18 PMHollywood starlets and legitimate rockers turned out last night to celebrate Mick Rock’s latest col-lection of photos, all of which feature iconic rock and rollers modeling off their Wayfarers. The Kill-ers, Primal Scream, John Marr and Eagles of Death metal (who performed at the event) had photos of them wearing the glasses
which were on full display last night. We absorbed the power of the art while consuming an ungodly number of the truly excel-lent coconut shrimp and mini cheeseburgers. Ku-dos to whomever sorted the food situation.Attendees included Mis-cha Barton, Molly Sims and Jimmy Fallon plus the photographer…

February 2007Mahou Gets Key to Miami Beach at Product LaunchSpanish beer Mahou received the key to Miami Beach at its first interna-tional beer launch, an event that took place at Casa Casuarina and welcomed Mahou’s CEO Alberto Rodriguez Toquero, fashion designer and event host Esteban Cortazar, New York’s Spanish-inspired Nu Jazz songstress Malena Perez, internationally-ac-
claimed Flamenco troupe Flamenco Puro, and a crowd of several hundred socialites… Event planners Mack Industries set a very club-like atmosphere—from the VIP list at the entrance, to the DJ booth taking cen-ter stage, to the celebrities in attendance—and placed Spanish references every-where…
January 20, 2007
Casa Casuarina is hosting a big party Thursday for the launch of a new Spanish beer, Mahou.
According to event organiz-ers, there will be flamenco dancers, tapas makers, Spanish DJs and special musical guests.
Fashion Designer Esteban Cortazar will host the event, which we hear is one of his last Miami appearances. Cortazar is packing up his showroom and moving op-erations to New York City.

Last night’s launch party for Chris Anderson and The Long Tail packed the bar at the Tribeca Cinemas; I recognized literary agent John Brockman by his distinctive white hat (see for yourself at my Flickr page) and asked him what excited him the most about Anderson’s theory the first time he saw it. “It makes you rethink everything,” Brockman said, and we talked a bit about how this was especially true in
the book business, focusing on Brockman’s role as a repre-sentative of serious nonfiction with a scientific focus. I did eventually get a chance to say hello to Anderson and chat about the book’s immediate success, which further proves, as he’d been saying in relation to Dead Man’s Chest, that hits aren’t dead yet....

Last night in NYC, Wired
EIC Chris Anderson
threw a little thing with
his magazine crew and
the Flavorpill folks at the
Tribeca Cinema to cel-
ebrate the release of his
niche culture economics
theory hardback, The
Long Tail. After DJ sets
by Qool Marv and a fez-
wearing $mall Change
(and...a PowerPoint
presentation), Anderson
signed some books and
told a few hundred of his
closest friends to get
live. Brazilian Girls
humped some heavy
bass, Aloe Blacc
crooned bilingually,
James Murphy kept
things crazy DJing in be-
tween sets but it wasn’t
until Spank Rock came
out that the floor got
really rowdy: throw your
hands up, let’s shut the
place down rowdy. Dear
Chris Anderson: WRITE
MORE BOOKS!

If This Is Truly Busi-ness, Who Need Talk of Play?…By contrast, the M3 Summit, orga-nized by the New York based writer David Prince and sponsored by Mo-torola, was hipper and nimbler but also slicker and more corporate. An M3
passport cost $285 and gained the bearer admission to pan-els and parties that brought together a more diverse mix of D.J.’s and live acts. One highlight was a virtuosic performance by the British rapper Dizzee Rascal. The m3 program was anti-tribal: the focus
September 8, 2005Party Report: Fashion rocks?… After Hiro, I headed to the Motorola Party at Webster Hall where the rapper Common performed. Motorola was launching their new iTunes phone – the first ever in the world. Fake phone booths displaying the impressive new gadgets were situated around the open space
for people to ogle, although some party-goers did more than just look: between the impromptu crump dance performance (the Motorola people swear the dancers weren’t hired) and the end of the party, most of the phone booths were left empty, with the new phones no where in sight.
March 04 to 11, 2004 editionThe M3 generation… this being Miami, M3 is about parties as well, and the music at these shindings (dubbed the M3 Sunset Sessions) is going to be supplied by some of the most interesting lineups that conference week has seen in some time. Sounds range from the ‘wavey bleepage of Midwest Product to Louie Vega’s new,
revue-style Elements of Life extravaganza… key member of the all star M3 team include event produc-ers Carolyn Clerkson and Adam Davids, publicist Vickie Starr (from Girlie Action), Flavorpill’s Sascha Lewis and Mark Mangan, and creative consultant and man man-about-townWillie Mack…

party in the gentle Miami
winter The M3 Visual Arts
Festival, brings visuals to
the conference with film

lations and projections,
moving video graphics,

producer of film and video
who is in charge of the
multimedia wing of M3.
M3 is no weekend project
for Mack but an ambitious
attempt to make film and
video a regular part of the
