Dear Friends,
I realized today that my music career and my marketing career have quite possibly converged into a MadMen-on-the-brain-twenty-four-hour-soup of images, songs, copy headlines, and ad campaign slogans swirling ’round in my brain…and I can’t get it to stop! Someone help me!!
So I thought I would let you know about my “night gig” happenings – the music – and also hang my shingle for my “day gig” – what I do to actually make a living. Both ‘jobs’ are heavily influenced by the MadMen aesthetic…and have been before there even was a MadMen…How did they know??
MY “DAY GIG”
Girl Friday Virtual Marketing, founded, owned and operated since 2005 by Yours Truly, channeling-MadMen’s Peggy Olson (the ambitious ex-secretary-now-copywriter at Sterling-Cooper, MadMen’s fictional ad agency). Peggy is a feminist circa 1962, before there was a feminist movement, and long before the job title of “secretary” became “administrative assistant.”
Girl Friday
- writes copy for blogs, websites, ad campaigns and wherever needed;
- Girl Friday does creative with web designs, blog designs, and ad design and layout;
- Girl Friday has the benefit of modern technology: She has the software and the skills, and she knows how to use them!
- She sets you up with a blog or social media like Facebook and/or Twitter etc., then trains you on how to use them to market your art, your music, your business. You really need to learn this stuff! Check out our workshops! Contact her and find out how the heck she does all that…she’s just like a real Girl Friday!Girl Friday never forgets that she has a lot more support from technology and society today than Peggy Olson does at Sterling-Cooper as she struggles to climb that corporate ladder while maintaining her dignity and professionalism. Thanks, Peggy, you’re a trailblazer!
MY “NIGHT GIG”
The latest CD, “Let’s Live Again,” contains many songs from the late 50′s/early 60′s, the Tribute to Peggy Lee show, with the entire second set of 50′s/60′s hits she wrote and performed..it’s like a MadMen soundtrack! The band has the perfect repertoire for your swanky retro cocktail/holiday party (we recently performed at a MadMen-themed party – the costumes, the martinis, the cough cigarettes…it was fabulous!). We have available dates for your party, nightclub, holiday bash, New Year’s Eve…so contact me and let’s make a happening!
Thank you for reading this long email blast as I wax rapsodic about all things MadMen, music and marketing!!
Love,
Elaine
