Potse; update on AHAG

Nice detective work. It appears as everything is falling into place for Lawrence Butler to reverse merge Awestruck in AHAG. Hopefully we see a SEC filing coming from AHAG soon. This stock could absolutely skyrocket-- the website looks great, great clients, great business, good management. This could be one of the high flying penny stocks of the year.

The last 10-k filing showed Lawrence Butler owned 1,720,622 of the shares of AHAG and his father Marshall D. Butler owned 1,007,342 of the shares. Combined it looks like they own 37% of the entire stock.

Awestruck press release......

Awestruck Marketing Group issued a press release on Thursday announcing the name change. Lawrence Butler has a couple of statements in the release......

TrashTalkFCM Becomes AWESTRUCK Marketing Group

Agency's New Brand Reflects Continued Delivery of Meaningful Experiential Marketing Programs That Are Amplified via Social and Digital Platforms

NEW YORK, Nov. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Since 1999, the team at TrashTalkFCM has been providing highly successful experiential marketing programs to the world's leading brands. From their early guerrilla work and nontraditional media offerings to their national tours and large-scale, high profile events, TrashTalkFCM has emerged as a leader in the experiential field, with a reputation as a trusted partner in providing creative, measurable marketing solutions impeccably executed in ways that provide meaningful brand experiences for consumers. To reflect this emergence as a premiere experiential agency, TrashTalkFCM is now AWESTRUCK Marketing Group.

"As the business of marketing has changed over the last dozen years, so have we," said Lawrence Butler, AWESTRUCK Marketing Group's Chief Executive Officer. "Successful brands these days are looking to engage with their consumers in ways that are truly meaningful to them. Ways that will leave them awestruck and make them want to share these experiences with their friends and family. AWESTRUCK Marketing Group is entirely focused on providing just these types of experiences."

To maximize the impact, personal connection and ultimately the ROI of their experiential and event work, AWESTRUCK now provides a full service approach to their clients' marketing objectives. Working with strategic partners and new technologies as needed, AWESTRUCK strives to enhance the meaning and execution of each brand experience while giving consumers the incentives and tools to quickly amplify that experience socially.

"Every program we put together is designed to be shared socially," said Robin Potash, AWESTRUCK's President. "With the technology so readily available these days, every experiential program is an opportunity for massive reach. This is a new frontier for experiential marketing, and our team is thrilled to be at the forefront of it. It's exciting."

To complete the support of the new brand, AWESTRUCK is also rolling out a new website, sizzle reel and a full suite of collateral with an entirely new look and feel.

"After so many years as TrashTalkFCM, we decided it was finally time to take out the trash," said Butler. "Our clients all agree that our work, our creativity and our dedication to the success of their business is better reflected in the name AWESTRUCK."

Interesting, Potse. Thanks for sharing

[Potse]

SSP...Lawrence Butler...Livingston departure.....

That photo of Lawrence Butler on the Awestruck Marketing Group website is the first/only image of Lawrence that I have run across in the time I have owned AHAG. The facial resemblance to his father (Marshall D Butler) is very noticeable.....

Interesting to note that about a month prior to this change in company name/image from TrashTalkFCM to Awestruck Marketing Group co-founder Andrew Livingston left the company to go work for Rodale. I am guessing that Lawrence may have purchased any ownership interest Livingston may have had, or at a minimum Lawrence probably now has increased his management control over TrashTalkFCM/Awestruck.

[SSP]

this is Lawrence Butler?

[linuspop]

A name change at TrashTalkFCM. Could more things be happening behind the scene (i.e., a reverse merger with AHAG)? Time will tell I guess...

mccoy...More For Less, Lawrence, Marshall......

Looks like he's in oil and energy alsowww.linkedin.com/pub/lawrence-butler/8/525/950.

The "More For Less" company that you see listed on Lawrence Butler's LinkedIn profile is a reference to a northern California convenience store chain (food, gas, etc). "Convenience Acquisition Company" is the partnership through which Lawrence participated in the purchase of the stores beginning in 1998. Here is an article from that time period.....

http://www.bizjournals.com/sacramento/stories/1998/09/28/story3.html

Lawrence probably does have some investments in the area of energy. For example, if you go to the "companies associated with Lawrence Butler" section of this corporationwiki page, one of the LLC companies that he formed in California two years ago (Bioenergy Partners, LLC) is involved in green energy investments......

http://www.corporationwiki.com/California/Los-Angeles/lawrence-butler/41375748.aspx

I'm not sure if some of those companies he formed (Bioenergy Partners and Privateshares) are operating companies, venture capital related, or if they might be holding companies for some of his personal portfolio types of investments. See my post over on another board.....

http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=61665447

An investment in AHAG is certainly speculative by its very nature, but I think it makes a good deal of sense to have a few shares tucked away in an account.

The kinds of connections that both Lawrence and Marshall have in the areas of venture/investment capital are extensive and impressive. While that doesn't guarantee a RM or development of a new business will ever occur (or a successful/profitable one from a retail investor standpoint), those connections and backgrounds of the Butlers are things that are pretty hard to ignore if you are a shell investor.

[bobkubecka]

me too, I'm patiently waiting :)

[db7]

plus i see some 'big' name posters below of which some 'may' still have their shares.. suprised there are so many left down in this range for sale

[bobkubecka]

oops sorry appears i have a total of 210k, found a few in another acct. gltu :)

[db7]

nice!

[bobkubecka]

135k here :)

[db7]

[stanley01]

Check out this video clip of TalkTrashFCM

http://www.trashtalkfcm.com/reel/

How high do you think this stock could go if TalkTrashFCM merges into AHAG? I think this could be a huge reverse merger play.

[linuspop]

I have 300,000 shares

[stanley01]

How many shares of AHAG do you all own?

It appears that there are 3 members (including me) on the zipcodechangers board that own 350,000 shares each. I am trying to get an idea of how many other shares are held by members on this board? That is crazy-- the OS is only 7.1 million shares.

"Lots of good stuff happening at TrashTalkFCM...congrats to our new Account Managers, and welcome to our new team members! 3:00 PM Jun 23rd via web"

I wonder if this means a reverse merger coming soon along with the new managers and hires....

[stanley01]

Damn AHAG 500,000 bid at .0325

Is that bid showing accurately? 500,000 bid at .0325? Sick! Hopefully we get news soon!

[testline8]

[testline8]

someone is slowly buying this up.

[Estrella]

AHAG @ .029!

[stanley01]

AHAG will blow up if we receive news

Expect a huge movement in the stock if we get an inkling of news. The guys involved in AHAG founded Steel Partners Hedge Fund!

With an O/S of 7 million shares, and a lot of those shares locked up by management/large shareholders, the stock price could blow up so easily.

[testline8]

hope it keeps going. This one is very quiet, but steadily going up lately.

[Estrella]

AHAG @ .025!

[testline8]

Up again. This one is slowing becoming very nice.

[Quicksilver1]

What's with the volume, is something brewing here?

glad to see it finally moving. Hope it continues
