probably as a result of OPMG investors in general bombarding their phones and email in-boxes wanting "details". Those poor kids
I agree, and have said it. All companies involved do not want to hear from pinksheet investors, let them do their job and not get hounded. ONE place should get calls and emails, that is the OPMG/IR office if there is a complaint. Pink.

Just wanted to repost this from Liquid Crystal Productions.

Looks fantastic.
When I spoke with Randall he told me this is going to be the state of the art Concert that know one has ever done before.
The videos' and technology will be the first of it's kind.
It will just make the PSA commercials from phoneguard look oh so much better. imho
Alhu, thanks for the post pal.
I was trying to point out all those same observations over the weekend. NO, I don't think it is looking good IMO.
These kids are not doing this to make OPMG investors money, their reasons are more Altruistic than caring about somebody's PPS. Great effort they got going, the fact that they took Phoneguard stuff off their advertising is probably as a result of OPMG investors in general bombarding their phones and email in-boxes wanting "details". Those poor kids....
I think they should be commended......great bunch of kids....
Flip side of that coin. They have a PSA to be ran. PhoneGuards is not long enough, at least the one unedited on youtube, but PhoneGuard and some kids started this thing up, the event. Talked about since the Summit, I'm sure. All Law Makers/States/Schools and Celebrities are still getting signed in as we speak, they already have a huge line up. So that being said, we have not seen the other PhoneGuard PSA that was said to be longer and also with the combination of the PSA with RAB's story in it, PhoneGuard could have a nice piece of airing in that one that will be ran, just saying, right.
Looks like Liquid Crystal Productions does a good job. They are in on this with Global Maximus.
Big Wheels keep on Turning!

Spanish River and PhoneGuard, has been working with various companies, groups, communities, sports figures, politicians, musicians, and entertainers who have been anxious to lend their support and time to this important cause, and be on hand championing the event.
Are things coming together for OPMG or falling apart?
Putting wishful thinking aside, the evidence is overwhelming that things are not looking as good as some posters would like you to think.
Zimmerman gone, No announcement of Bieber at this event(IMO he won't be there either-EPIC FAIL)and it appears the 'big' headliners have changed to small time artists, No Bieber PSA(?), Phoneguard banner not being shown anymore, no merger. . .
It is quite possible some other app producers wanted to be part of this event, it is a National day of awareness for distracted driving so I'm sure they will promote their cause with any app that supports the cause. This may be why GMR said it is going to be bigger than anticipated(the event-not for Phoneguard), notice Phoneguard promotions are now gone from their site altogether.
Not looking good IMO :(
Errr. currently we have no marketing firm promoting phoneguard.
Zimmerman agency is gone. that is a fact. see email in previous posts
Errrr. Product=Marketing. No Marketing? haa, I have not not read that. No Marketer team or Public Relation for the product PhoneGuard?

AL
The benifits of what the company has learned from past unexpected challenges has led them to the opportunity that lays before them. They have kept their focus.
thanks jt, sponsoring the national distracted driving event of the year and PPV all around the world. GOGO OPMG!
world stage!
absolutely amazing!
This may or may not have been caused by distracted driving, but does show the effect of a slushy road and wind turbulance created by the car passing the semi in front. This is why many highways have the barrier cable installed to keep you in your line of travel. two vehicles meeting at 60 is equivalent to hitting a brick wall at 120. OPMG's Phoneguard could have prevented this but was probably not due to distraction from a cellphone IMO.

I was going to refrain from commenting on Zimmerman because it's speculation and nobody really knows. But it keeps coming up so here is my 2 cents:
Funds are limited and Z obviously takes a large bite for their services. Z was retained prior to a coordinated effort between PhoneGuard and the student movement. With limited funds PhoneGuard is looking for the biggest bang for their buck and my guess is utilizing resources to support the movement/concert made more sense.
Here is why I believe this: Zimmerman mentioned via email they submitted a 2012 marketing plan to PG and were awaiting approval. During this time we we began hearing that support was building behind the student movement. Shortly thereafter Randall James is in the picture and is coordinating with PhoneGuard re the Rock to Live music festival. (don't take my word if you don't believe me call Randall directly. I did)
Z services will always be there should PG want to re-establish a working relationship. I'm guessing it was a judgement call and one that had to be made. Like I said with limited funds it may not have been feasible to do both.
Yes, I saw this last week at work on somebody's Iphone .. in the blink of an eye it's all over .. and for what?! Just have to make that call, just have to send a message ...... very good video ...
OPMG!
agreed jt. opmg should and must target the parents to the amazing benefits of all that phoneguard app has to offer.
people/parents have no idea what a great product, pg is.
talks to the parents/mothers orgs is a must. psa's from a mother showing the benefits of having pg installed to their families phones especially the family portal will spread like wildfire
PhoneGuard is mentioned by name as the mobile application solution the students chose to endorse even prior to the organization of any concert.
It's not possible they would show more than 1 PSA at an all day music festival?
What solution do you believe will be presented to the public if not PhoneGuard?
Who sets the best example for potential distracted texters while driving? Train engineers, cell phone companies, police, OPMG investors? link below http://www.pittsburghmotorvehicleaccidentsblog.com/2011/10/study-police-car-computers-can-increase-crash-risk.shtml
EDUCATION: Parents are beginning to take ownership of the problem I.e. texting and driving. "Driving" awareness of this problem is imperative so parents and children alike can embrace it's reality.
SOLUTION: Product differentiation is not crucial at this stage as few even know there is an economical mobile app available. By driving awareness to the problem and getting teens/ parents directly involved solutions will begin to materialize in the public eye. The solution with the greatest share of voice will evolve into the "household name".
Education + Solution = Safer Streets and Less Lives Lost
"Seatbelts, carseats, phoneguard". Which one of these prevents accicents? Which ones protect lives? Do any of these have huge buisness success? OPMG
I may be putting a little to much stock "no pun intended" into next week. It sure seems to have a lot pointing toward it being a defining week for the future of OPMG and my investment in them.
I mean really, how much longer will it take to get something tangible enough to erase any doubt. I'm long but I'm also an impatient long brought up in a world of instant gratification.
Sure feels like it's going to be a looooong day
Quite possible JBieber's PhoneGuard PSA may not be aired at the event. From what I read in the press release that you were quoting from, it looks like SRHS (Spanish River High School) has produced their "own" PSA to be used at the concert and streamed to the schools, as well as aired by Channel One News. They wouldn't have gone through all that trouble to produce a " NEW ONE" if the PSA to be used was strictly PhoneGuard's PSA with the "spokesperson". Just something to consider.......Hmmmm
Their PSA will probably feature some down to earth talk from the fine group of kids below, kids talking directly to other kids, since this is what the concert is all about, it really not about PhoneGuard but the "cause" IMO. I think their PSA will be a heartfelt production, rather than just a bunch of screaming girls drooling over JBieber. The PhoneGuard PSA says the wrong message IMO, I dont think they will use that one

Some parents are making sure their teens understand the dangers of texting and driving. They're showing their children a video that's called, "The Film That Will Stop You From Texting and Driving."

Wow Tut, that is one terrible accident. People just don't realize how quickly that can happen.
Can't wait till we here more about the concert this week!!
Spanish River and PhoneGuard, has been working with various companies, groups, communities, sports figures, politicians, musicians, and entertainers who have been anxious to lend their support and time to this important cause, and be on hand championing the event.
There are numerous celebrities that will be doing shout-out’s for the public service announcement that will play during the event. Students, their parents, and everyone involved, will be asked to visit www.takethepledge.tv to join major recording artists, sports figures, politicians, and celebrities, in support of this cause, and be a part of the launching of the first ever PPV music festival, Rock for Life, a new national Student-Sponsored Music Festival, with the goal of supporting major life-changing causes
Thanks Al and also very important in that PR;
No school can afford not to be a part, not only for the awareness of students and parents, but to receive a future benefit of the proceeds for the school.
Tragic video but hanks for posting tutter.
RE:
I dont know if you guys got this on the news over there or not. An Ozzie long haul truck driver decided to take distracted driving to a new level. When police stopped the driver, to find out why he was weaving back and forth across the road, they found he had a 32" monitor attached to his dash.
Now theres a guy that really needs to consider downloading PhoneGuard.
DM it was in an email I recieved take the Video the way you want, Go OPMG!!!!! Tut
Please provide a link that has evidence that this horrific accident was caused by distracted drive. If you can't, the video should be removed. Based on what I saw on the video, the driver lost control on the snowy, icy road.
You provide no proof that the driver took their eye off the road for a split second. The likelihood is that OPMG/PhoneGuard would not have prevented this accident at all....IMO.
What you think the HS kids put this concert together without any help?
Sure they did!
Per your pm yes I agree with you CJ I just ran out of posts last night. That feeling you are getting is virtue as our patience is finally going to pay off very very soon!!
Thanks for spreading the PG word in your industry! Nice job
The Day Of Awareness will be capped with a star-studded Music Festival produced by Global Maximus Productions in association with Liquid Crystal Productions. The event is scheduled for inside the stadium to the ticket holders. The event will also be made available ?Live? and totally interactive, streaming to millions around the world with proceeds to benefit each school taking the pledge. The actual event is expected to sell out of the 30,000 tickets being made available.

Sometimes I get a good feeling!

The student leadership by sponsoring an event that brings together thousands of schools and millions of students across the nation, in one combined voice to save lives of their classmates.
Our goal is to raise awareness about the dangers of texting and driving among teens, parents, and all drivers,
as well as, offer a solution to help curb the habit.
Spanish River and PhoneGuard, has been working with various companies, groups, communities, sports figures, politicians, musicians, and entertainers who have been anxious to lend their support and time to this important cause, and be on hand championing the event.
There are numerous celebrities that will be doing shout-out’s for the public service announcement that will play during the event. Students, their parents, and everyone involved, will be asked to visit www.takethepledge.tv to join major recording artists, sports figures, politicians, and celebrities, in support of this cause, and be a part of the launching of the first ever PPV music festival, Rock for Life, a new national Student-Sponsored Music Festival, with the goal of supporting major life-changing causes
expect any donations raised from this event will aid Jr. and High Schools, and will provide much needed funds to raise awareness, support recently cut programs, and help reduce financial shortfalls.
We are grateful to PhoneGuard and all our supporters for their incredible contribution and partnerships. We will use every available means at our disposal to send our shared message across the country,
Justin Bieber is in full support of ?No Texting While Driving? and continues to campaign with PhoneGuard and Remember Alex Brown Foundation (www.RememberAlexBrownFoundation.org) via interviews with local and national media, and news outlets…? stated event founder, Ross Brenner.
The Festival and the cause has the full support of Boca Raton Mayor Susan Whelchel and City Council, Boca Raton Police Department, U.S. Congressman Ted Deutch, State Representative Irv Slosberg,
The National Transportation and Safety Board (NTSB), The Alex Brown Foundation, and regional Anti-texting groups in various parts of the country, including STANDD, TADD, SADD, amongst others. Various national and international businesses are supporting the cause and event, and will send out press releases as they come on board.

What is cooperative national radio? Do we know what station(s) to listen to?
Canceled my premium but yes CJ I agree 100% as it pertains to OPMG.
Your 100% right.
I can certainly wait until Monday to get more acurate concert information!!
Phoneguard will be at the head of the Class for this Epidemic..IMHO
WRONG... that is the CONCERT ANNOUNCEMENT PAGE.. NOT THE STUDENT "I WON'T TEXT and DRIVE PLEDGE PAGE the pledge page is for student's .. WAIT UNTIL THEY GET "THE ROCK TO LIVE" [dead link 3rd from left..] PAGE DONE... PHONEGUARD and sponsors WILL BE THERE on THAT PAGE! as its the concert promo page.. LOL ...OPMG imho we roll
Bieber was never the face of "texting and driving" he is the face of "PhoneGuard".
Would you want your face on a billboard depicting a problem that kills 14 people a day?
Again Bieber is the face of the solution "PhoneGuard". I don't know who these other kids are but they are probably supposed to represent your average teenager that freely admits to texting and driving.
Do you really think they are going to bring all these kids together, educate them on them on this problem and not offer any solutions?
Which way does the wind blow. This is what OPMG investors want. For one of our Marketing avenues with highschool, it is a beautiful thing to see them as the face of this FUNDRAISER. It shows its real, with real problems and real kids. Bieber will play his roll, which is to bring more attention and keep it and get them to download. PhoneGuard being involved with such an event is, POWER. And power can be tricky, 4 stickies show that too. A movement is happening with kids in schools and Law Makers on the Hill. Throw PhoneGuard smack dab in the middle and Marketing will prevail. Money will be flowing into us, if not yet already.

RE:
I guess you didn't realize it was just from the pledge site page which was posted a while ago.
It's actually old.
Keep up the good work Knuckles, the new stuff will all be out Monday.
Gotta love it. One’s best success comes after their greatest disappointments.
— Henry Ward Beecher
It's in the PR
Yup just the pledge page...the buttons don't even work yet.
I'm sure they will be working by Monday. IMHO
NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ANY..THIS IS ONLY THE PLEDGE PAGE the old one has no PROMOTERS/PARTNERS either!..notice there is NO OTHER NAMES THERE EITHER?.... LOL..WOW!....OPMG imho WE ROLL
Did you notice at all that JBieber OR PhoneGuard is not being used by Spanish River in this link?
PhoneGuard was not there either!!!!!!!!! OMG.......I checked every link on that website, neither were to be found ANYWHERE!!!!!
It looks like the NEW FACE against texting and driving is Spanish River High School Students....and NOT the golden boy. I guess Spanish River was upset because after all their hard work they got dissed by the golden boy, he has been REMOVED from all their web pages......as well as PhoneGuard. I wonder if that is why OPMG stated the Spanish River Press Release was "Premature"????? HMMMMMMMMMMMMM
http://rock2livefest.com/theCause.aspx
http://www.takethepledge.tv/
Find Phoneguard OR JBieber anywhere on the 2 above links folks?????
THAT AINT GOOD!!!!! (for OPMG) or the PPS.....I think next week will be UGLYYYYYYYYYYY
The "NEW FACES" of the Movement Against Texting and Driving
(It used to be this)........
I read most posts, and maybe I have missed tnis one, but who owns tne option on Bieber's contract, Bieber of Phonegard?
