The benefits to growing an online brand are limitless! Social media has given us the opportunity to take what we know, love and are passionate about and bundle it into a powerful brand that millions of people can see at any point in time. As an artist, building an online brand has given me the majority of the opportunities I’ve had in my career. From posting really goofy, oftentimes embarrassing comedy videos on social media, I’ve been able to land countless acting jobs, stand-up comedy gigs, speaking engagements, collaborations with some of my favorite comedians, a 2 season Spotify deal, and the opportunity to build and scale a marketing and production company that’s bringing in over $500,000/year in profit. When I first started out creating videos, I NEVER imagined they would lead to as many career opportunities as they have but here we are! That’s why I’m passionate about encouraging others to build a digital brand. So, if you haven’t started or you feel like your brand isn’t where you want it to be - don’t give up! The world needs to hear your message 🌍 #digitalbranding #personalbrandingtips #artistinspo

WANNA GET ON THE TV OR RADIO AS AN EXPERT? The first step to making that happen is to start jumping on any trending topics that you have an opinion on. The big reason why you should have an opinion on relevant trending topics is because they are trending ... and that helps to get you discovered. When people are talking about something big in your world you need to be talking about it too. I've been lucky enough to make many appearances on TV and radio all because I do this constantly. Now media companies come to me for an opinion when a topic blows up. #MonokiMedia are a video and film production studio.

Recently, I was invited back onto Triple A Murri Country to yarn with Let's Talk The Art's host (and friend) Rachael Sarra about Collaborations from a blak lens, which is super topical at the moment, with the collab landscape shifting and changing for both better and worse. Give it a listen for good insights 💥 and a bit of tea 👀 Here are a few takeaways to approach collabs/engagement in good ways: 🤝 Invest in relationship capital, make sure it is mutually beneficial 〰 Collaborations shouldn't have a predicted outcome, let the process determine the outcome and make something unique 💸 Be upfront and honest with the budget and know the industry standard to pay appropriately, exposure and opportunity don't pay the rent 💫 Be transparent and flexible with IP, contracts, the project (end to end) and profit share (true collaboration) 👊 Be value driven – are you doing the collaboration to be performative or does it truly align with your brand/company 🖤 Be grateful and nurture the opportunity to work with First Nation creatives (and any creative), as it is their name you are benefitting from 🛑 Is your brand safe? Will the creative be exposed to negative audiences? And how will you mediate it and protect the creative? 👏 Be a 'standard setter' for the future generation of blak creatives, not the warning for bad collaborations Comment any questions or additional points to add to good collaborations!

And the crowd goes wild. 👏 Opening night. It only comes once. Always exciting. Always raw. Performers are full of anticipation. Ready to fully engage you with a performance that appears effortless. Hoping their training, hard work, and practice will take you to a magical place away from your reality. The curtain rises, and it's go time. The room is dark. The bright stage lights only reveal the first few rows of the audience. But the performers can feel it's a packed house. The atmosphere is electric. Audience expectations run high. Everyone knows the reviews will be critical to the success of the show. No matter our profession, we all face opening night every day, with unseen faces in the crowd of onlookers. They're real people seeking a message or solution that resonates with them and solves their problems. No performance is the same. They all have their flaws and nuances that add color and personality. Imperfections connect us. We're drawn to authenticity. We inherently trust it. Be prepared to give the best, even if it's not perfect. There's an audience for that! 😉 Have you considered adding the value of voiceover to your marketing and advertising campaigns? How about your website? I can help you with that! 🎙 Always at your service! 🙏 #openingnight #voiceover #marketing #voiceoverartist #advertisingandmarketing

You may have heard of the web series “Some Good News.” Created in 2020 by American actor John Krasinski, SGN was a news show on YouTube dedicated exclusively to feel-good stories, which were much-needed during the pandemic. Following the viral success of the show, SGN was sold to ViacomCBS, who planned to create an ongoing series based on the original – but without Krasinksi in it. After intense fan backlash, the deal ultimately fell through, and the original series remains on YouTube. I thought about this story recently as I prepared to begin writing on LinkedIn again. If you are like me, you constantly battle the nagging voice of self-doubt that says you don’t have anything new or interesting to say, and you should be more like other “successful” content creators who are funnier/wittier/more insightful. After all, when you see something successful, the instinct is to replicate it like Viacom tried to do with SGN. But that’s not what people want. The premise of SGN wasn’t groundbreaking. What made the series resonate with so many people was Krasinski’s unassuming personality, the homemade, low-budget feel, and, most importantly, the show’s sincerity. I have no aspirations for my content to be purchased by a large media corporation. However, I am comforted and motivated by the thought that the authenticity you bring to your content is what makes it connect with the right people who need to hear it most. #motivation #personaldevelopment #lifelessons

MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT LIVE ENTERTAINMENT There are so many misconceptions when it comes to live entertainment. Many of which I discuss regularly on LinkedIn, but today I wanted to mention the ones we don’t often talk about… 👉🏼 It’s really expensive - This is quite a common one. Clients shy away from implementing entertainment as it “costs too much”, but that doesn’t have to be the case. Companies should work around the perimeters of your budget, adapting to make it work and provide the best entertainment possible. 👉🏼 It’s always glamorous - The bright lights and stage can often seem very glamorous. But what you don’t see is the blood, sweat, and tears that go into creating magic on stage. You can’t be afraid to get your hands dirty! 👉🏼 Tech isn’t important - Your show is only as good as your tech. You could have the most incredible performance, with the best talent in the industry. But if your tech isn’t good, your show won’t be either. 👉🏼 All performers are divas - Contrary to popular belief, not every performer is a drama queen! Most performers are kind, hardworking, passionate, and a lot of fun! Except Santa actors…they are always divas! What are the common misconceptions from your industry?
