Mickey Mouse Club Alum Dale Godboldo Launches Global Initiative To Support Youth In Arts And Entertainment


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 07, 2012

Dale Godboldo Enterprises, Inc. (DGE) announced today a broad-based initiative to develop platforms for young talent to excel in the arts, by partnering with financial institutions, production studios, educational institutions, and not for profit organizations to produce globally distributed content that, much like the Mickey Mouse Club, will serve as breeding grounds for young talent while providing scholarships and mentoring programs dedicated to advancing the skills of young creators.

Dale Godboldo was a cast member on the 90′s Mickey Mouse Club alongside Justin Timberlake, Ryan Gosling, Keri Russell, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, JC Chasez and NBC’s “The Voice” finalist Tony Lucca. Over a 20 year period, Godboldo appeared as an actor in over 130 episodes of television and films, and in business managed millions in project financing, media design and distribution contracts.

“Our experience on the Club was unique in that our creativity was nurtured on a daily basis and backed by a million dollar production budget per week,” says Godboldo, “That kind of structure, support and training is a missing link when trying to understand the later successes of so many from that show, and why I am passionate about giving young and dynamic artists similar opportunities.”

Unique to DGE’s production plans is its commitment to preparing young artists for long-term careers in the entertainment industry, both in front of and behind the camera. DGE’s strategies include building infrastructures for training and project financing, as well as providing guidance in managing success.

DGE will focus on creating both mainstream and art-house projects traversing music, film, television and new media. Projects and strategic alliances will be announced throughout the remainder of the year.

Dale Godboldo Enterprises, Inc. is a diversified holdings company with ownership interests in real estate, media and technology. Companies co-owned and managed include Wylie Studios, LLC, Global Renaissance Entertainment Group, Inc. and Brigade in downtown Los Angeles. Strategic alliances include a distribution deal through Mahvrick Networks with Omniverse One World Television, Code Black Entertainment/Lionsgate, and the principals of Cherokee Investment Partners, a $ 2B investment fund.

LinxHurricane Launches New Done For You Service For Online Business


(PRWEB) June 12, 2012

As businesses increasingly seek a prominent online presence, so too do the number of specialty services that emerge to help them get there. The LinxHurricane team has now pulled these disparate, yet vital, components together to create a unique and comprehensive done-for-you service.

They believe that if the growth in websites continues as it did in 2011, their comprehensive service will be as popular as it is unique. The number of websites in the world grew from 355 million at the beginning of 2011 to 555 million by years end (pingdom dot com). They encompass new online businesses, private websites and blogs, and most notably, traditional bricks-and-mortar enterprises.

Publishing a website is no longer the challenge it used to be said Lesley Komlos from LinxHurricane. But the strategies used to ensure that a website has both visibility and profitabily are increasing in complexity.

Successful online businesses have websites that are well constructed, with subtle search engine optimizaton (SEO) strategies in place, and a combination of video, graphical, and well-written content continued Ms Komlos. But as well, they also need to leverage Social Media to build a rapport with their online audience, much like they do in their offline business.

Not only this, believes Ms Komlos, but assembling testimonials, writing digital reports and ebooks, press releases and email sequences, are all components of a solid internet marketing campaign.

Interpretation Is Key

Ms Komlos believes the LinxHurricane leadership team, with its background in education, is integral pulling these services together; they are used to communicating often complex messages, and interpreting the needs of a diverse audience,

We are bringing together multiple services under one virtual umbrella, and applying them to our clients many different business models she explained. Our clients are pleased that they do not have to deal with different service providers in order to get the online presence they want.

Finding an online business consultant who can provide all of these services is rare, believes Ms Komlos.

Now, for the first time ever, Mermet brings these features together with KOOLBLACK Technology.

This has been a 5-year development and it is exciting to see it come to market says Jules, Duguay, General Manager, KOOLBLACK Technology gives Mermet a strong edge in the market and has the comfort and energy savings features architects and building owners are looking for.

KOOLBLACK Technology reflects Near Infrared (NIR) solar radiation, reduces interior fabric and room temperatures and improves the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) up to 23% versus common dark colored screen fabrics. E Screen with KOOLBLACK Technology is constructed in a 2 x 2 basket weave pattern for clear, crisp outer view and contributes to a buildings ability to earn LEED certification due to its unique heat reflection properties and energy saving performance.
