SUMMARY:[:en]Authenticity Unleashed: How to Communicate with Confidence on Camera[:]
DESCRIPTION:About this event\n\n\n\n\nLive streaming is a relatively new technology that’s not typically used by many entrepreneurs (or big brands!)… Why? Because it can be scary; there is no stopping or “stitching” of the video. Yet\, it’s the perfect opportunity for you to showcase to the world the real human behind your business and engage in real-time with potential customers and stakeholders who are aligned with your values and vision. \nAre you ready to seize your moment? \nJoin us for an empowering conversation with Rose Caiazzo\, Founder of the Live Streaming Secrets Circle\, to discuss the secrets of live streaming and why others will trust you more easily\, listen to what you have to say\, and agree when speaking your truth with authenticity and confidence. Drawing from over 25 years as an industry leader in online marketing\, Rose will delve into strategies for leveraging live streaming as a means to differentiate your brand and share your story in a way that resonates with the right people. \nYou’re going to be fabulous on camera! \nKey Takeaways: \n\nHow you can be truly authentic and release from your own perfectionism\nTelling your story in the moment\, with confidence and no brag\nTips and tricks for making a positive lasting impression on camera\n\nOUR SPECIAL GUEST \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRose Caiazzo (AKA: Jackson Hole Rose®)\nFounder of the Live Streaming Secrets Circle™\nHowdy! I’m Rose Caiazzo — & also go by Jackson Hole Rose® 🌹 — as I trademarked my name years ago after landing a spot as a syndicated radio show host. \nI live\, work & play in the wilds of Jackson Hole\, Wyoming & couldn’t be happier! In 2007\, I said goodbye to the corporate world\, sold almost everything I owned & opened 2 businesses in a downturn. I still own both\, and love how they are finally merging together… \nI’ve been teaching the secrets of social media to business owners for close to 17 years\, but with the rise of AI\, I feel strongly that live streaming will one day be the only way to prove you’re a “real” person online. This is a trend & challenge I see many people facing: DIS-belief that something or someone is real. \nAI will force us all to think harder. Funding to AI startups surpassed $68 Billion in 2023 & there’s 57\,000+ AI jobs on LinkedIn. That’s why I’ve decided to dedicate the next half of my career to transform businesses through live streaming technology using social media platforms. Because the magic happens quite naturally when there’s zero video production (stitching & filters). When it’s just you & your message in the moment? You create immediate trust. \nI know that leading people back to this simple social strategy won’t be easy though – because most people are intensely uncomfortable being on camera. Putting yourself out there can be tough\, & even I fall prey to nerves & my innermost perfectionism at times. But this is where talent from my other business comes into play… serving the world as a voice over professional\, online video host & emcee. \nAfter representing myself well on camera all these years\, I now realize none of these amazing skills were ever shared with the public. This is why I created the Live Streaming Secrets Circle™ program! It’s a safe place to practice & finally boost your video presence to new levels -🚀- while learning all of my personal trade secrets.

SUMMARY:[:en]What Makes a Great Brand[:]
DESCRIPTION:About this event\n\n\n\n\nEmotional and rational. Visual and thoughtful. Poetic and literal. When it comes to branding\, it can be challenging to strike the right balance when crafting your messaging and creative assets to maximize meaningful customer engagement with your business. Traditional notions of branding no longer apply\, so what do founders need to know about branding today and where do they go from here? \nThe Nasdaq Center is excited to host Stan Byers\, CEO at Stan Can Design and Foundation Design\, and Brian Mann\, Copywriter and Associate Creative Director at Stan Can Design\, to conduct a detailed autopsy of the dual nature of branding. Stan and Brian will take founders through a high-level examination of numerous branding examples and the components that make up a quality\, well-thought-out brand. Some you’ve heard of\, and some you’ve never considered. You’ll walk away with a renewed understanding of your role in brand creation!Key \nTakeaways: \n\nWhat are the key components of a brand?\nAn inside look into what makes a high-quality brand\nHow to optimize your role in brand development\n\nOUR SPECIAL GUESTS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStan Byers\nCEO at Stan Can Design and Foundation Design\nWhat do you get when you cross an Eagle Scout with a World Cup skateboarder? Advertising Person Of The Year\, of course. Whether he’s branding a multimillion dollar company or designing a hip new skate park\, he’s always on the hunt for more\, different\, bigger\, better\, cooler\, smarter. Stan’s diverse passions and ways of thinking allow him to direct and develop creative as well as manage all aspects of the process. He keeps the work on strategy\, on budget\, and on the minds of the consumer. \nStan’s extensive design experience has resulted in award-winning work for a vast array of Architectural\, Engineering and Construction firms. His haul includes numerous national and regional awards for his design and creative work: ADDYs\, TELLYs and a NEENAH gold medal for letterhead design. His work has also been featured in Communication Arts\, PRINT magazine and the PRINT Regional Design Annual\, HOW\, STEP magazine and the STEP 100\, and Logo Lounge. \nIn 2003\, the American Advertising Federation of Reno bestowed the honor of Advertising Person of the Year upon Stan. And in 2006\, the National Planning Committee for the annual HOW Design Conference in Las Vegas benefited greatly from his involvement. \nAfter having his own work judged for so many years\, Stan has become a highly sought-after authority on award-winning creative. For the past twenty years\, he’s served as a judge for a number of advertising’s top awards shows\, including the AAF ADDY® Awards\, the DAVEY’s\, the Communicator awards\, and the TELLY’s. \nThe We Love This Place “Signs” Campaign\, a local favorite and Stan’s brainchild\, was featured in the national design publication\, STEP\, as one of its top 100 designs in the country. Stan represented the agency in receiving AAF Reno’s Community Contribution of the Year award for that campaign. The follow up\, “Signs of the Holidays\,” received “Best of Show” and “Social Relevance” awards at the AIGA WorkShow. Collectively\, the three-part campaign received special honors at the Society of Environmental Graphic Designers) awards. Over a course of four years\, the campaign was featured in every major advertising and design journal and received international press. \nIn 2014\, his myriad of accolades\, awards\, and accomplishments culminated with AAF Reno’s Thomas C. Wilson Lifetime Achievement Award. AAF Reno’s highest honor awards those who have shown a consistently high degree of excellence in the field of advertising over a lifetime\, coupled with strong community involvement. \nEven after achieving some of the highest honors in advertising and design\, Stan’s showing no signs of complacency. In 2017\, his agency was awarded 3 National ADDYs at the American Advertising Awards. \nAlthough advertising and design have always been at Stan’s heart\, skating has always been at his core. In 2015\, he started his own skateboard company\, Kickturn®\, out of a love for classic skate style inspired by his hometown of Reno. In 2020\, Stan was awarded “OG” of the N-Men\, a hall-of-fame of sorts for the northern California skate group whose impact on the sport has been compared to that of the Lords of Dogtown. \nStan taught Visual Communications for over seven years at the University of Nevada\, Reno. He studied Graphic Design at Truckee Meadows Community College and prides himself on remaining a student of advertising every day. Stan is the past president of AIGA Reno/Tahoe – the professional association of design. He is a founding member of the American Advertising Federation of Reno and served on his local industry’s boards for over fifteen years. \nStan takes every opportunity to promote educational events that further his industry and community. He was an inaugural board member of DICE\, northern Nevada’s first conference for the advancement of good design\, while also designing the conference’s award-winning visual identity. Stan and his team are also founding members\, designers and organizers of the Women’s Leadership Summit in Northern Nevada. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrian Mann\nCopywriter and Associate Creative Director at Stan Can Design and Foundation Design\nHonesty in Advertising…you bet. Call him an optimist\, but Brian believes the best brands\, and the best ads\, are rooted in truth. \nAs a writer at Foundation\, he’s crafted powerful\, intelligent\, and timeless brands for the Architecture\, Engineering and Construction industries. His personal mission is understanding and expressing your brand’s essence\, that all-inspiring\, intriguing\, extra special thing that separates it from the rest of the marketplace. \nHe’s your brand’s voice\, its biggest fan\, and\, maybe most importantly\, its proofreader. It’s earned his clients honors from the Davie Awards\, Communicator Awards\, German Design Awards\, and numerous local American Advertising Awards. \nThough a writer by craft\, Brian knows the power of good design. He writes copy as if he’s designing for the head and heart\, not the eyes. He’s also ensuring every word\, every comma is on strategy for your brand. How’s the headline sound? Can I read it out loud without rolling my eyes? Is this the correct use of “plethora?” (Hint: it usually isn’t.) \nWorking as a copywriter at a design firm isn’t quite the career death sentence it sounds like. In 2017\, Brian was promoted to Associate Creative Director at Foundation and in 2021\, he became the agency’s first ever Partner. In the new role\, he assumed creative direction duties for Foundation’s video and photography projects\, picking up numerous local American Advertising Awards in these categories since. \nBrian received a degree in journalism with a focus in advertising from the University of Nevada\, Reno in 2013. He was one of five stellar presenters for UNR’s 2013 National Student Advertising Competition team\, presenting an integrated marketing campaign for Glidden Paint and placing first in their region. \nFor roughly 5 months out of the year\, he spends his Sundays questioning the life choice of Minnesota Vikings fandom. In times of writer’s block\, he’s geeking out over menswear\, working on his handstands\, or trying to decide on a DJ name.
