On Friday, September 25th, Flashpoint Academy film students Jenny Tunberg and Vanessa Luna assisted Flashpoint’s professional film crew at the “Couture & Cocktails” Fashion Show benefiting the Joffrey Ballet.

From behind the camera, the crew did a fabulous job capturing all of the evening’s proceedings, from pre-show and post-show interviews with the minds and talent behind the event, to all the spectacular garments, to the dancers of the Joffrey themselves. It was truly an evening not to be forgotten!

This week, marketing professionals from around the city gathered at Flashpoint, The Academy of Media Arts and Sciences for a special social media- themed breakfast panel.

Over delicious organic pastries and fair trade coffee, panelists Charlene Li (co-author, Groundswell), Paul Rand (Zócalo Group), Howard Tullman (Flashpoint Academy) and Jon Bellinger (Ketchum) discussed and debated the winning strategies when leveraging social media for marketing purposes.

In addition to outside guests, a number of Flashpoint students also attended the panel, picking up some tips on how to market themselves and their art. Some attended as guests, while still others got some valuable experience behind the camera as they filmed the panelists’ discussion.

“Social Media is very important for a company’s success. One of the biggest things I took away from the event was that, companies who don’t pay attention to what’s being said about them online are in tremendous trouble.”
