CBS “MATLOCK” DAVID DEL RIO (Book Interview) - “Matlock” is a reimagining of the classic television series, starring Emmy and Academy Award winner Kathy Bates as a brilliant, wily lawyer with unusual and unexpected tactics. "Matlock" star David Del Rio will be available for virtual and LA-based interviews to discuss the new series.

ABC “HIGH POTENTIAL” AMIRAH J (Book Interview) - ABC’s “High Potential” premieres tonight, and centers around a single mom with an exceptional mind, whose unconventional knack for solving crimes leads to an unusual partnership with a by-the-book detective. Amirah J stars opposite Kaitlin Olson in the new series. Amirah J is available for press interviews virtually and in Los Angeles.

PBS “ONE PERSON, ONE VOTE?” FILMMAKER MAXIMINA JUSON (Book Interview) - With a historic presidential election just around the corner, there’s never been a better time to dive deep into the intricacies of the Electoral College. We have an exciting opportunity to connect with Maximina Juson, the visionary filmmaker and cinematographer behind the highly anticipated PBS's Independent Lens documentary “One Person, One Vote?” This groundbreaking film, set to premiere on September 30th, offers a compelling look at the Electoral College and its impact on US presidential elections.

HGTV “BARGAIN BLOCK NEW ORLEANS” KEITH BYNUM & EVAN THOMAS (Book Interview) - HGTV's highly anticipated spinoff series “Bargain Block New Orleans” premieres Oct. 9. Renovation experts and partners Keith Bynum and Evan Thomas, stars of HGTV’s popular Detroit-based series Bargain Block, will risk it all to restore rundown houses in yet another iconic city. They'll temporarily step away from Detroit for the unfamiliar New Orleans real estate scene with its unexpected construction challenges, stretching their budget and creativity to rebuild affordable, fully furnished homes featuring classic NOLA design elements like wrought iron railings, arched doorways and corbel accents. Keith and Evan will be available for virtual as well as in-person interviews in Los Angeles.  

UNWELL MARKETING - We’ve been studying big-budget marketing campaigns and we’ve taken note of the similarities between them and the marketing engine behind Alex Cooper’s brand and podcast. Her campaign looks like Universal’s “Wicked” and Kim Kardashians’ Skims. In this fragmented media landscape, if you want to build a lasting brand, don’t you have to meet consumers, media and social at the tentpole events that trend throughout the year? These events already have major media attending, massive crowds, and sponsor $$. So let’s take the past year. Alex hosted fan events at SXSW, The Kentucky Derby, The Olympics, first pitch at Fenway park, the Hamptons and now she’s heading out on a West Coast tour. But she’s taking it one step further than celebrity brands and films do. She’s not just on a red carpet, or behind the podcast mic, she’s passing out drinks, taking selfies and hosting the party which might just be firing up her community and creating lifelong fans.
