Cheer Channel Inc. Launches First Original Branded Web Series for Cheerleaders

Leave a comment

AUSTIN, Texas (April 12, 2012) Cheer Channel Inc. (CCI), the premiere online digital news and entertainment network dedicated entirely to the spirit industry, announced today that they will debut the world premiere of the first original Web series written and produced specifically for cheerleaders and their millions of fans, “Secret Diary of an American Cheerleader,” in early April.

The spirit industry is a $4 billion industry, with its target demographic reaching female teens, tweens and ‘cheer’ moms.

“Secret Diary of an American Cheerleader” is a scripted, dramatic Web series consisting of six webisodes that will air on the Cheer Channel website and Facebook fan pages, the “Secret Diary of an American Cheerleader” Facebook fan pages, and YouTube channel and has locked in distribution deals with some of the largest distributors of Web series on the Internet, including Vimeo, Blip.TV, Koldcast.TV, Hulu, iTunes, Brightcover, Veoh, Web Series Today, Grab Networks, and Alphabird . In addition, “Secret Diary of an American Cheerleader” clips, trailers and full episodes will be posted on more than 70 of the most popular teen and tween social media platforms, including Twitter, Delicious, Tumblr, Pinterest, and Blogger.

“This is the first ever branded entertainment opportunity not only for vendors actively engaged with the cheer and dance industry, but from major brands that have wanted to find a way to gain access to this elusive yet attractive demographic” said Lance H. Robbins, President of Cheer Channel.

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. The Web series rollout includes print, mobile, radio, on-site event promotions, and social media contests and sweepstakes.

Robbins, is the executive producer of the series that was developed from a story created by the author of “The Cheerleader’s Guide to Life”, and CCI CEO, Cindy Villarreal.  Robbins is the former President of Saban Entertainment (“Mighty Morphin Power Rangers”) and Fox Family Studios Worldwide, where he executive produced more than 70 movies for network and cable television, as well as hundreds of live action and animated series, including “Ninja Turtles”, “Sweet Valley High”, “Big Wolf on Campus”, “Casper Meets Wendy”, “The Addams Family”, “Richie Rich’s Christmas Wish” and “Au Pair”.

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.

“Secret Diary of an American Cheerleader” founding circle sponsors include prominent industry leaders GTM Sportswear, Power Bows, Malibu Sugar, Cheerleading Stunt Stand, Cheerleader Casting, Glamour Shots and Cheer Deals as well as over a dozen accessory, photographic, travel, cosmetic and fashion companies that will be providing incentives, services and products for weekly contests, sweepstakes and giveaways.

“GTM Sportswear is excited to be a part of the “Secret Diary of an American Cheerleader” Web series.  We feel that this is an opportunity to engage our brand with one of our target audiences in a unique and impactful way,” says Nikki Miller, Vice President of Marketing at GTM Sportswear.

CCI intends to engage its close to 65,000 combined Facebook fans with quizzes and weekly prizes that will be cross-promoted through various digital media platforms and media partners, including Cheer Phi, “The Cheer Leader Magazine”, Cheer1xm and Alumni Cheerleaders.

Extra Innings Launches Video Competition for Local Sports Enthusiasts

Leave a comment

Extra Innings is offering local sports enthusiasts a chance to try their hand at creating a commercial video for the company with the launch of a video competition.

Middleton, MA (USA), Thursday – April 05, 2012 — Extra Innings, the indoor baseball and softball training facility based in Middleton, Mass., is offering local sports enthusiasts a chance to try their hand at creating a commercial video for the company with the launch of a video competition. The contest follows the company’s latest ad campaign with Mullen Advertising, who created promotional material for the Extra Innings Mobile Instructor App. Check out ‘The Perfect Swing’ video here: [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxBQImW31TY ].

Extra Innings is encouraging baseball and softball players, parents and other youths in the community to submit videos of themselves or their children playing ball. The videos can be creative, humorous, educational or just downright embarrassing. The winner of the best video will have the opportunity to work with a professional advertising firm to develop the next promotional video for Extra Innings, which is distributed nationally and on all Extra Innings social media accounts such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. A gift pack with Extra Innings gear is also included. To enter, players should post their video to the company’s corporate Facebook page or they can share the video on Facebook using the Mobile Instructor App from now until May 31. A winner will be announced on June 4. Coinciding with the opening week of major league baseball from April 1-8, the Mobile Instructor App will be available for download at a discounted price of $2.99.

The competition was sparked after the recent launch of the company’s Mobile App, the Extra Innings Mobile Instructor ( http://www.extrainnings.net ), which allows baseball and softball players to improve their technique. Players can record a video of themselves, and coaches can record video of their players swinging or pitching, and then provide their own commentary using a “white board” technique. The Mobile Instructor’s state of the art telestrator features a full set of professional tools including scalable shapes, freehand drawing, ball icons, and full screen grid and text notes. This app also provides the capability to save the analyzed video and send it via email, complete with title card and summary screen with customizable voice over. Players who need professional instruction, however, can submit their recorded video to Extra Innings instructors, most of whom are ex-Major League and Minor League ball players, for professional analysis. Retailing for $4.99, the app also gives access to online ordering at Extra Innings’ Pro Shops where baseball and softball equipment and apparel can be purchased directly through the app as well as access to the Extra Innings center finder. Video submissions are sold in bundles of three.

The Extra Innings Franchise Company was started in 2004 to franchise the unique and profitable business model throughout the United States. Based in Middleton, Mass., Extra Innings has nearly 40 locations in 17 states in all regions of the country and projections call for close to 60 locations to be in operation by the end of 2012.

SAFE International, North America’s Self Defense Leader, Launches Washington, DC Self Defense Seminars

Leave a comment

SAFE International is a leading provider of self defense training in North America. SAFE International is pleased to announce its expansion into Washington, DC with a focused marketing campaign to provide self defense to women, corporations and high school students.

Washington, DC, March 28, 2012 (Straight Line PR) — SAFE International™ is a leading provider of self defense training in North America. It currently operates throughout Canada and has expanded into Washington, DC with a focused marketing campaign to provide Washington, DC self defense to women, men, corporations and high schools. SAFE International has delivered training to over one hundred thousand (100,000) people since 1994. The company is owned and managed by Chris Roberts, CEO, who is a professional teaching Director and self-defense instructor.

Mr. Roberts founded SAFE International™ in 1994. He saw there was a lack of practical and effective self defense instruction for people. The SAFE International high school courses became known for their instruction on how to deal with conflict before it starts rather than just deal with the physical side of self defense. While self protection is a serious topic, the SAFE instructors have managed to develop a course that integrates humour while still getting a serious message across to students/clients. Chris Roberts has developed and taught specially tailored Washington, DC corporate self defense courses in the corporate environment, particularly to companies/organizations that are in higher risk professions including health care, real estate, sales people, etc. Self protection is a not only a necessity, but is also a form of insurance that will make your business more profitable and your employees more confident and secure. Workplace violence is a serious issue and SAFE has the ability to teach workplace staff how to deal with all aspects of confrontation including the Awareness/Avoidance stages along with Verbal Diffusing skills and physical self defense.

SAFE International also offers specialized Women’s Self Defense Washington, DC courses to women’s groups, including their Women’s Self Defense Parties. Twenty five percent of women will be assaulted during their lifetime. This is an alarming fact especially since over forty seven percent of crime is unreported. Women will know their attacker fifty seven percent of the time according to studies. Women lead busy lives and need easy to remember tactics that work in real-life situations. They also need training that fits into their busy schedules. SAFE International’s instructors understand the challenges that women face and offer classes, group seminars and private lessons to fit into anyone’s schedule.

SAFE International has become North America’s most popular high school course for both boys and girls due to the fact that they don’t teach martial arts, but rather a practical approach to personal safety with an emphasis on recognizing and avoiding potentially dangerous situations. All instructors are certified through SAFE International™ and have a unique ability to reach the students in an effective and memorable manner. SAFE International has traditionally focused on self defense instruction for high school students. It offers 1, 3, 4 or 5 hour courses which can be taught over consecutive days or all in one day depending upon the school/ organization’s needs. They offer High School self defense customized to the class needs and expectations. Each session includes discussion, role playing and a practical physical component ending with their famous simulated attacks in which the students get the opportunity to practice their newly learned skills on a padded instructor. These are real-world tactics that can be used by anyone against violent and stressful attacks.

SAFE International™ also trains/consults people privately on a weekly basis. Private clients include mothers, fathers, daughters, police officers, seniors, and people with disabilities. SAFE International teaches self defense concepts that are based on Gross Motor movements, rather than complicated and difficult to remember techniques.

SAFE International Launches Washington, DC Women’s Self Defense Parties – Washington, DC Self Defense

Leave a comment

SAFE International is expanding its seminar options to include women’s self defense parties in Washington, DC.

Washington, DC, March 26, 2012 – (Straight Line PR) – Washington, DC Self Defense, SAFE International Launches Washington, DC Women’s Self Defense Parties.

SAFE International ™ is a leading provider of mobile self defense/personal protection training in North America. SAFE International has taught more than 150,000 clients in the private, corporate and high school environments since 1994. SAFE International is expanding its seminar options to include women’s self defense parties in Washington, DC.

SAFE International quickly realized that women had completely different concerns, fears, and needs than males. Chris Roberts, CEO of SAFE International listened to their concerns and tailored something that was not only educational, but also met their personal fears. Men have no idea what women go through on an everyday basis from the stares and comments to the physical gestures and advances.

One of the reasons that SAFE International enjoys teaching women’s self defense Washington, DC, is how receptive women are to the skills that the SAFE International instructors provide. SAFE International teaches self defense concepts, rather than techniques. This allows women to learn in a much shorter time. SAFE International always covers Awareness and Avoidance strategies which are based on one’s daily routines. We examine what an attacker looks for, what an attacker wants and doesn’t want in confrontation. One of the biggest topics we explore is how most people are too polite, even when their intuition is telling them the complete opposite. We cover the most common distraction techniques an attacker will use to gain an advantage. We then move on to verbal strategies in the event that avoidance is no longer possible. Rather than just teaching to yell at a potential attacker, we cover a few verbal strategies based on the aggressor and the scenario. The third step is addressing the physical aspect of Washington, DC women’s self defense. We begin with the advantages of adopting a passive stance rather than an aggressive stance. We only teach gross motor strikes due to the adrenal rush one gets when they are in a highly stressful state such as an attack scenario. We teach a philosophy of “Attack the Attacker” which reverses one from being the Prey, to that of being the Predator. Another philosophy is to attack the head if all avoidance and verbal strategies have failed. This is only 30 minutes into the physical training and you can see how the self defense concepts are very effective. The self defense drills increase with intensity as the participants gain more confidence. It is important to build rapport with your students and the results will be seen as the drills progress. The following YouTube video shows how much can be learned in only 30 minutes of women’s self defense instruction.

YouTUBE video : http://www.youtube.com/embed/ayeWEXZsDuo

Forget Tupperware Parties!
Invite 6 to 8 of your friends for a few hours of fun, education and potentially life- saving instruction. Plan a meal, bbq, snacks, maybe some dessert! Be prepared for a unique Washington, DC Women’s Self Defense experience! What has made SAFE International so popular is their unique method of teaching with humour and sharing of anecdotes. Get to experience their simulated attacks in scenario specific situations such as at the front door, the kitchen, the car, etc.

SAFE International has taught more than 150,000 clients including mothers, fathers, daughters, police officers, seniors, and people with disabilities.

SAFE International is expanding its seminar options to include women’s self defense parties in Germantown, MD.

SAFE International quickly realized that women had completely different concerns, fears, and needs than males. Chris Roberts, CEO of SAFE International listened to their concerns and tailored something that was not only educational, but also met their personal fears. Men have no idea what women go through on an everyday basis from the stares and comments to the physical gestures and advances.

One of the reasons that SAFE International enjoys teaching women’s self defense Germantown, is how receptive women are to the skills that the SAFE International instructors provide. SAFE International teaches self defense concepts, rather than techniques. This allows women to learn in a much shorter time. SAFE International always covers Awareness and Avoidance strategies which are based on one’s daily routines. We examine what an attacker looks for, what an attacker wants and doesn’t want in confrontation. One of the biggest topics we explore is how most people are too polite, even when their intuition is telling them the complete opposite. We cover the most common distraction techniques an attacker will use to gain an advantage. We then move on to verbal strategies in the event that avoidance is no longer possible.  Rather than just teaching to yell at a potential attacker, we cover a few verbal strategies based on the aggressor and the scenario. The third step is addressing the physical aspect of Germantown women’s self defense. We begin with the advantages of adopting a passive stance rather than an aggressive stance. We only teach gross motor strikes due to the adrenal rush one gets when they are in a highly stressful state such as an attack scenario. We teach a philosophy of “Attack the Attacker” which reverses one from being the Prey, to that of being the Predator. Another philosophy is to attack the head if all avoidance and verbal strategies have failed. This is only 30 minutes into the physical training and you can see how the self defense concepts are very effective. The self defense drills increase with intensity as the participants gain more confidence. It is important to build rapport with your students and the results will be seen as the drills progress. The following YouTube video shows how much can be learned in only 30 minutes of women’s self defense instruction.
