We’ve kept uber busy since our return from Toronto, first with Natural Products Expo East here in our main home Baltimore (our other home of course being New York City where we have our co-working space). It was great to hang out with some of our lovely clients, and connect with new and old friends- and we hope bring some more brands into our GPP family!

We hosted a little get together “off-campus” the night before the show floor opened. Check out some pictures from this event and on the show floor, here: in our Facebook Page Gallery. We also attended the semi-annual Women In Naturals event and made a photo feature in New Hope Media:

Then, 3 days after Expo, Beth spoke at #IM48 Idea Mensch Baltimore. Beth was interviewed for IdeaMensch back in late spring and then featured in a “26 Entrepreneurs Helping our Environment” feature this summer (see links on our press page).

That weekend was Green Festival DC where we got to again connect with friends, prospect possible new clients,  and eat some yummy vegan food and taste some lovely organic wines.

Now we’re working on placements for a new Lionsgate film shooting in Atlanta and working on the last two episodes, season one,  of “House of Cards” for Netflix.

AND we’re so looking forward to next month’s Film Biz Auction Party on November 9th, that we’re giving away two free tickets!!

Film Biz Recycling’s annual Auction Party!

 

Enter to win 2 free tickets to the Eco-Production Event of the Year!

 Green Product Placement has two free tickets (worth $80) to give away to this event.

Drawing will be held October 27th and video from drawing will be uploaded and announced on our Facebook Page.

To enter: Please email your name to Beth(at)greenproductplacement.com by October 24th. Put “FBR Auction Entry” in the subject line of the email.

All names will go into a hat and one name will be chosen at random.

(As FBR is a wonderful not for profit, and the party promises to be extra-supa fun, we’d encourage purchase of tickets anyway if you really intend on coming and then bringing two friends along if you should happen to win.)

Cheers,

Beth and Lisa

Great News!

As we’ve just launched the website and are beginning to make plans to move the business along, I sent an email to touch base with the filmmaker Morgan Spurlock. It was him, after all, that made that lightbulb go on over my head back in the spring. It was that online conversation with him on the website TED that have me the idea to start this company.

He was deep into promoting his latest film, “Pom Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold”, which is a documentary about brand integration, sponsorship and product placement, that he funded by utilizing brand integration, sponsorship and product placement! Genius, really.

The film is both hilarious and enlightening as Morgan leads the viewer through what was involved in securing his major sponsors along with an examination of “brand awareness” through various marketing strategies and how it affects the consumer.

Check out the trailer, here:  http://www.sonyclassics.com/pomwonderfulpresentsthegreatestmovieeversold/

So I sent off this email last night letting him know that our website is up, and that we’ve begun to lay the foundation to build the business. Lisa and I plan to attend the Green Festival http://www.greenfestivals.org/  in October and I inquired about meeting with him while we were in NY.

He wrote back:

” I love that you are running with this and making it happen.  This business
is important and will find a major home in Hollywood.  I would love to
meet you when you are in NY and will do whatever I can to help.”

So, we’re all very excited this morning to have the full support of the person who inspired this company to “be”!

Thanks, Morgan, and we do indeed look forward to meeting you!
