NEW Michael Jackson Tribute Portrait NEWS! Hot off the PRESS

Jermaine Jackson Announces His Endorsement of
The Largest Michael Jackson Tribute in the World
www.MichaelJacksonTributePortrait.com attracts top celebrities in a
one-of-kind global tribute that invites the participation of fans.

Los Angeles, California – Today, November 24, Jermaine Jackson will announce his support of the largest and most respected Michael Jackson tribute in the world, which is already supported by Diana Ross, Gladys Knight, George Lopez, Adam Lambert, Mickey Rooney, Vivica A. Fox, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and many others.

The last day before Thanksgiving break, 60 students from three inner city public schools will walk down the red carpet with Jermaine Jackson and other celebrity guests and become a dot in the largest Michael Jackson tribute in the world. Jermaine Jackson will be making a special announcement and his presence at the event will be a surprise for the children. Jermaine says, “It’s all for love.”

The Michael Jackson Tribute Portrait is a charitable project that has brought together nearly a quarter of a million fans in more than 165 countries. This one-of-a-kind work of art is being created by LA based celebrity artist David Ilan using a technique called pointillism – made from hand drawn dots. Fans everywhere are being invited to receive a free dot in their name by going to: www.MichaelJacksonTributePortrait.com. One Dot = One Fan.

“We see Michael’s Tribute Portrait as an opportunity to carry on Michael’s work. This is our mission,” said Executive Producer Jerry Biederman. The students will perform a rendition of a Michael Jackson hit in front of celebrity guests and be treated to an exclusive screening of “THIS IS IT.”

The red carpet event starts at 9:30 a.m. at the AMC Magic Johnson Theatres at 4020 Marlton Avenue in Los Angeles. This event is organized in association with May May Ali (daughter of Muhammad Ali) and Torré Reese of FAMLI, INC. (a nonprofit after school enrichment/mentoring program). The “dot ceremony” begins at 10 a.m.; Jermaine Jackson will be available for interviews at 11 a.m.

The Tribute Portrait is a continual work of art that requires fan participation for its completion. A dot is not drawn until someone signs up for it. The portrait will take one million dots to complete – one million fans side by side. Once completed, it will go on a world tour to promote the humanitarian causes that Jackson cared about.

Congrats to a Cool Client

EB & A wants to take this opportunity to give a round of applause to long time client, R.Evolucion Latina. We pride ourselves as being THE IDEA COMPANY, building brands people want to talk about. R.Evolucion Latina certainly reflects the epitome of our success stories. It's a pleasure to work with active clients that digest strategy session ideas and implement them with grace and excitement.

One of our latest ideas was to create a quick, personalized YouTube message to invite activists, members and pioneers to join our Open House in December. Within a few days, they delivered this video.

We also encouraged a creative, viral facebook campaign that's already taking place and working like a charm.

We Dare to Go Beyond... and with clients like R.L. it makes all the difference.

Thank you to Gabby, Michael, Luis, Denisse, Ali and all involved for beleiving in our ideas and running with them for your advantage. I love watching you grow.

Young Company Strikes Again at UDMA

Well, it was our 3rd Anniversary attending UDMA this year. What was the response, you ask? Lots of people asked for more Power of SHINE's, which implements that our campaigns "stick." Ummm, what else? They also asked where our entourage of celebrities, videographer and photographer were because this year, we let our work speak for itself with a 21 foot X 7 foot banner of a year's worth of gendance. It was a visually engaging booth with a powerful message in visuals rather than sparkle and shine and groupies. We were the youngest booth and the attendees were very thankful for what we provided them at booth #... hmm, I forget, but our booth rocked.

The overall comments were that we've matured, we've come a long way from 0 to 3 1/2 years, we're truly revolutionizing the dance niche with our concepts, ideas and gendance, and between us and Rhee Gold, we're the two main companies to follow in publishing, which was nice to hear. The perception of EB & A and Rhee Gold is integrity and smart strategic steps to educate and ignite the performing arts world. I like that comment a lot. People notice what's going on. It's nice to know.

Other than that, I feel great. The response so far has led to several new fan and friend requests to our gendance Facebook and hundreds of gendance subscriptions are already coming in. Plus, the increased awareness to our 11 co-partners and Geo Hubela has been amazing. We're looking forward to publishing the adverstorials of our colleagues in gendance and offering the special message to all VIP sign ups in November.

Congratulations to my team for making it a great event! I love them with all my heart and more.

And to Chip, Dave, Sue and the girls... the photos of Saturday night will be kept confidential. (lol) Next year, we do Dreamgirls # 2. We have a year to plan. :)

Thank you to everyone who made it possible to get to UDMA in Style: Victor, Dommy, Jim, Todd, Tooncie and Marc.
