Sponsors can opt for integration of their brand into the storyline and/or place their banners and video ads that contain bonus material, such as deleted scenes, blooper reels, cast interviews, early audition tapes and behind the scenes of the production.

According to Robbins, “this series is the culmination of the Cheer Channel’s goal to provide not just news and information about the spirit industry, but to find new ways to reach millions of cheerleaders and their fans with original and cutting-edge entertainment programming”. Robbins adds, “this also gives or national advertisers and spirit industry vendors an opportunity to market their products online where our demographic of female tweens and teens spend most of their time”.

“Secret Diary of an American Cheerleader” is written and produced by Aaron Mendelsohn, who has written the screenplays for the multi-million dollar film franchise, “Air Bud,” and its 11 sequels for Disney, as well as numerous webisodes for brands and networks including Coca-Cola, Toyota, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon and The Gap.  Most recently, Aaron wrote the screenplay for “12 Days of Christmas”, which was the highest rated Christmas movie this past holiday season on ABC Family Channel.

The series will be directed by Jared Seltzer who has directed and edited award-winning Web series, documentaries and reality shows for studios such as Paramount, Warner Bros, Universal and cable nets including Discovery, AMC and Bravo.

National casting calls began on Feb. 11 at cheer event producer Epic’s “Battle of the Boardwalk” as well as at the Cheersport Nationals February 17-19. Hundreds of girls turned out to audition for various roles that will be populated by real cheerleaders in the series.  Open casting calls will continue through the end of week.

“Having been a cheerleader and coach my entire life, we want to cast as many ‘real’ cheerleaders as we can so that it is truly authentic and relatable for this core audience,” said Villarreal.

Cheerleader Casting, the listing agency out of Los Angeles that specializes entirely in representing cheerleaders of all ages who can act, dance and perform stunts and routines is handling the casting duties for CCI.

Plan Parcel Delivery Needs And Don’t Get Caught Out By London 2012, Says Parcel2Go

Leave a comment

The UK’s largest online parcel delivery specialist has warned individuals and businesses not to get caught out by the inevitable disruption set to be caused by the London 2012 Olympics this summer.

The Olympic Games will take place at sports arenas across the United Kingdom between July 27 and August 12 this year, with the majority of events happening in London. Unsurprisingly, the anticipated influx of visitors to London will have a significant impact on the capital’s transport network and may also lead to disruption at Olympic sites across Britain.

Organisers of the Games have already told businesses that road closures and parking restrictions will impact on parcel deliveries and collections. The UK’s leading courier companies such as City Link, FedEx and TNT are all working to find ways to minimise the inevitable disruption to customers and are liaising with organisers as part of their attempts to provide reliable services during the Games.

Parcel2Go’s marketing director Richard Mercer said: “The London 2012 Olympics will be a huge international event and understandably the sheer volume of people set to descend on the capital and other UK cities will cause disruption and delays. Courier companies are working hard to formulate plans to counter the effect of road closures and parking restrictions, and have pledged to keep customers informed via Olympic delivery information pages.

“Parcel2Go is calling on people to plan ahead as much as possible and make parcel recipients aware of the situation. For now, the best thing is to keep regularly checking couriers’ websites for updates on how the Games is likely to affect day-to-day operations.”

The parcel tracking services available online through Parcel2Go play a vital role in helping individuals and businesses to remain aware of where their consignments are, and when they are likely to arrive. During the Olympics, these services are expected to be key in assisting customers to stay informed and up-to-date.

I rather be a dog

Leave a comment

Any time soon, this young 24 yrs old Malaysian boy, convicted of drug trafficking, will be hang till death do him part by an unidentified Mr. Hangman in Changi Prison, Friday morning @ 6 am sharp.

If no one comes to his rescue soon, he’ll definitely and surely be under water very soon!

Supposing we see someone drowning like this, will we immediately dive in and rescue him from near death? Or will we ask questions first before we can help rescue him, questions like, “Who is he?”, “How come he’s in the water?”, “Did he fell into the water or was he pushed in?, “Is he rich or poor?”, “Where is he from? He looks like he’s not from this region.”, “Maybe he’s a ex-criminal wanting to commit suicide? Must have done a lot of bad thing in his life one la. That’s why this is call ‘retribution’ la. Ah… just let him drown la. He deserves it one la. Don’t care for him la. Just let him die la.”

Huh?

I don’t get it. People saved a dog but they won’t save a fellow human being from near death! Strange. So does that means that the dog’s life are more precious than human beings’ life?

If it is, than I rather be a dog then. At least I’m assured that I’ll be rescued and loved by human beings, unlike them human beings who weren’t rescue their own human beings. We dogs saves dogs you know.

Duh…

Parcel2Go Backs Government Call For SMEs To Break Into New Overseas Markets

Leave a comment

A call by the government’s trade and investment minister Lord Green for more small businesses in Britain to attempt to break into new markets overseas has been backed by the UK’s largest online parcel delivery service.

Parcel2Go, which assists individuals and businesses in shipping more than two million packages across the globe with world courier firms every year, believes there are significant opportunities waiting for forward-thinking companies.

During a recent appearance in Gateshead, the minister said small businesses sending their products overseas were at the heart of the government’s plans to grow the economy. Lord Green said that while the domestic market continued to grow slowly, opportunities were going to come from overseas. He also stressed the importance of looking to new markets outside of the eurozone, such as Asia, the Middle East and the United States.

Parcel2Go’s marketing director Richard Mercer said: “Small businesses are certainly central to the economic recovery, and Lord Green is correct in highlighting the importance of overseas markets to businesses in the UK. There are opportunities out there and at Parcel2Go we want to help as many companies as possible beat the downturn and explore avenues for growth further afield.

“It is understandable that small firms especially might be hesitant about attempting to build new customer bases in countries a considerable distance from Britain. However, with the help of partners such as Parcel2Go, which can help take the hassle out of shipping goods abroad, it is possible for these firms to flourish overseas.”

Parcel2Go works with some of the world’s leading parcel delivery couriers, including Parcelforce, City Link and FedEx, to organise the delivery of parcels to countries across the globe, from Australia to Cyprus. International delivery services to fast-growing economies including Brazil, South Africa and China are also available through the website.
