Happy birthday to Stargirl director, Lea Thompson!

What I originally had in mind as tribute is not turning out like I planned, so it's still in the works.

Evers' transportation secretary will resign in September to take job at UW-Madison

Deputy Transportation Secretary Kristina Boardman will succeed Thompson, becoming the first woman to serve as transportation secretary, the governor's office said.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Gov. Tony Evers’ transportation secretary plans to resign next month to take a job at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The governor’s office announced Friday that Craig Thompson will leave his post on Sept. 11 to take a position as vice chancellor for university relations at the state’s flagship university. Deputy Transportation Secretary Kristina Boardman will succeed…

Debating if I should repurpose KT and Yvette for another story I'm working on. It's set in either '69 or '70, I think! I'm not 100% sure yet. Might be set anywhere between '69-'75, tbh.

Basically, I'd keep basic things about them. But like their ages, for example, would be 26 instead of 23/24, and they're no longer living in Louisiana. Pretty much all ties to m3 will be severed for obvious reasons. Like, tbh I'll mostly be just taking their names, lol, but like maybe basic appearance, too? Idk. I'm not sure! But I'm not using them for anything rn, and I mean I might as well use them for something else.

Disney Princesses singing in their Native Languages (part 2)

Part #1

Part #3

Further info about my choices for the languages in this video under the cut

Belle

“Bonjour! Bonjour, bonjour! Bonjour! Bonjour!”. Yeah, the story takes place in France. Please, don't ask me to elaborate on this.

French Belle: Bénédicte Lécroart

Nala

When “The Lion King” was released in 1994, a special Zulu dubbing was made on that occasion: it is the first and only Zulu dubbing made by Disney, as well as the only dubbing in any language spoken in Africa (other than Arabic), not to mention, the language sung by Lebo M. during the song “Circle of Life”. Yes, Swahili would have been the correct choice here, but given the rarity this dubbing is, let’s not waste it, heh?

Zulu Nala: Wendy Molefe (? Wendy certainly dubbed Nala in the spoken parts, while it's unclear whether it's her singing too, or another uncredited voice actor)

Snow White

According to a book from the official Disney Princess franchise, “A Treasury of Enchanting Tales” (2019), the story takes place in Germany in the 16th century.

German Snow White: Alexandra Wilcke (1994 re-dub)

Anna

Anna and Elsa are daughters of a Norwegian king and a Sámi queen, as is shown in Frozen 2. It is also shown they have no trouble understanding the meaning of “All is Found”, a traditional Northuldra lullaby, which is certainly sung in Sámi. This means that Anna and Elsa are bilingual Norwegian-Sámi native speakers.

Norwegian Anna: May Kristin Kaspersen Sámi Anna: Elin Kristina Oskal

Merida

Again, please don't make me explain why the movie takes place in Scotland. Please. Sadly, Disney never issued a dubbing in Scottish Gaelic for Brave, but at least we got this one song taken from the original soundtrack of the movie.

Young Merida: Peigi Barker Elinor: Emma Thompson

NINE CREATIVE WAYS TO CONNECT WITH GEN Y AND GEN Z THAT AVOID CONVENTIONAL MARKETING METHODS

0  

By webotix  Uncategorized  April 13, 2024

Millennial and Gen Z audiences are tougher to please, more intelligent, and more educated than ever before (dosen’t mean to offend no one). As an experienced digital marketing company in Dubai, we have seen firsthand how the field of audience interaction is constantly changing. The era in which conventional marketing strategies were the most effective is long gone. But we know how to get their attention. In this blog article, we’ll go over nine creative ways to interact with youthful audiences (mentally and physically) who shun conventional marketing strategies.

ACCEPT TRANSPARENCY AND AUTHENTICITY

“The best marketing doesn’t feel like marketing.” Tom Fishburne, a market analyst.

Young people are drawn to genuineness. They are able to identify dishonesty quickly. You have to be sincere, open, and loyal to your brand in order to interact with them. Speak to them about your growth, successes, and failures. Knowing your business, your company make people close to your brand.

COOPERATE WITH SMALLER GROUPS OF PEOPLE

Being influential doesn’t require having a huge fan base. Establishing a reliable community is essential for success.” – Expert in influencer marketing, Brittany Hennessy

Put away the celebrity endorsements. Younger audiences look up to micro-influencers  people with modest but active followings who inspire trust. Form alliances with micro-influencers who align with your business and who have a true connection to their audience. More weight will be placed on their suggestions than on any conventional advertisement.

DESIGN INTERACTIVE ENVIRONMENTS

“The best way to engage with customers is to create an experience that they can’t help but share.” Econsultancy’s David Moth

Young viewers are happiest when they are experiencing things. Rather than being a third wheel, they wish to participate. Create fair opportunities for people to connect deeply with your brand. As we know, immersive virtual reality experiences, pop up stores, and escape rooms, they are real and entertaining.

PUT SOME GAMING INTO YOUR BRAND MARKETING

“Gamification is the process of using game thinking and game mechanics to solve problems and engage users.” – Gabe Zichermann, a gamified marketing expert.

A powerful way of attracting younger audiences is gamification in advertising. Embrace game elements into your marketing initiatives by including leaderboards, prizes, and challenges. Keep it lighthearted, friendly, and competitive.

MAKE USE OF USER-GENERATED CONTENT.

“The most genuine kind of advertising is content created by users.” – Kristina Libby, a social media expert

Younger viewers trust their peers more than brands. Encourage them to develop and distribute content relating to your brand. Run competitions, hashtag campaigns, or challenges to encourage others to be creative. Showcase their material on your channels to foster a feeling of community and belonging.

ADOPT A CAUSE MARKETING APPROACH

“Brands that do good, well.” Expert in Brand Citizenship, Anne Bahr Thompson

Social and environmental problems are important to younger audiences. They wish to back companies that have a beneficial influence. Assemble your brand around a cause that appeals to the people in your target market. Make children aware of the impact that their purchases and behaviours may have.

BE WHERE THEY ARE.

“Marketing is no longer about the stuff that you make, but about the stories you tell.” Seth Godin, Marketing Expert

Young viewers regularly switch between platforms and devices. You must be present in their environment in order to interact with them. Invest in multichannel marketing tactics that work together across social media, mobile, and digital platforms.

ENCOURAGE HUMOR AND ENTERTAINMENT.

“The best marketing makes the customer the hero.” Chris Brogan, a business strategy expert

Young people value comedy and fun. They want to be amused, not simply informed. Bring fun and levity into your marketing strategies. Create information that is not only informative but also engaging and easy to share.

“Engagement is not a one-way street.” It is a discussion.” – Sprout Social

Younger audiences want to be heard. They want brands to listen and respond to their comments, questions, and concerns. Encourage two-way contact by actively connecting with them on social media, replying to reviews, and asking for their feedback.

David Ogilvy, the creator of advertising, once quipped, “The consumer isn’t a mo; she’s your wife.” Treat young audiences with respect, sincerity, and inventiveness, and you’ll pique their curiosity and loyalty. At our agency, we’ve witnessed personally how effective these unique tactics are in engaging young audiences. So, abandon outdated marketing approaches and embrace the new era; your brand will thank you.

The Lewiston Civic Theater and Its Dark History To Be Demolished Later This Year

Right above Main Street in Lewiston, Idaho, a building that could be mistaken for an old castle sits quietly at the top of a hill. This old brick building with its dusty stained glass windows and sharp peaks is no castle, however; It serves as the town theater in which plays and musicals are put on by a local group of actors known as the Lewiston Civic Theatre. Despite the group putting on many successful plays a year, but judging by the tape that has recently surrounded the theater’s premises, the future of the historic building looks bleak.

Andrew Thompson, an actor who has participated in many plays performed at the old theater, revealed that the building has recently been condemned.

“Our president noticed some wooden tresses were broken in the attic, and when a construction company came to look at them, we were told the building is at risk of collapsing,” Thompson, 25, stated. “It’s heartbreaking to think that this beautiful piece of our history will be replaced by a patch of dirt by the end of this year.”

Many residents of the town share these strong feelings about their disapproval of the theater’s closing. According to long-time Lewiston resident Mike Graham, the historic building was constructed in 1907 and used to be the First Methodist Episcopal Church.

“My grandma told me it was built to be a Methodist church in 1907 and didn’t become the Lewiston Civic Theater until 1972. It seemed old even when I was a kid,” Graham, 48, said with a laugh. “We all would have loved to see it stay open, but there’s not much you can do for a failing structure as old as that theater.”

The theater’s dark history is one reason local residents are not entirely opposed to the decimation of the building, which was once the scene of a triple homicide. In September 1995, Lewiston residents Kristina Nelson, Jacqueline Miller, and Steven Pearsall entered the theater and never came back out alive. Two of the three were later found deceased in a rural location and one body was never found, but the murders were confirmed to have taken place inside the Lewiston Civic Theater. A suspect was never charged, but police have stated that they are confident Lance Jeffrey Voss, who was the janitor for the building at the time, had committed the crimes.

“I remember when the news came out. Everyone was so shocked,” Clarkston resident Connie Miller said when speaking about the murders. “That stuff just doesn’t happen here, and not in places like that beautiful old church. It just shouldn’t have happened.”

Miller, 62, said she’s glad the church is finally being laid to rest. “It’s a sad thing, yes, but to be honest… I’m glad. That building is nothing but a hazard now, not to mention a reminder of one of the worst things to ever happen in our small town.”

As of now, there is no confirmed date as to when the building will be demolished.
