FORT WAYNE, IN -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/21/09
Mike The Pike Productions, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: PINR) CEO/President, Mark B. Newbauer, announces the company's partnership with Federated Media's WMEE, 97.3, playing 'Today's Best Variety' in promoting its BACK TO SCHOOL SUMMER SEND-OFF 2009 featuring Good Charlotte, Metro Station, Cobra Starship, Katie Chonacas (www.katiechonacas.com) and a few special guests.
Newbauer is excited about this partnership because "WMEE is extremely active in promoting community events and has a wide reach. The station is played almost everywhere: swimming pools, fitness centers, workplaces, retail shopping centers, gas stations -- you name it -- largely because of its family friendly programming and overall mass appeal. This show is as much about economic development and harvesting community as it is a strategic and profitable step for Mike The Pike Productions and its shareholders."
Newbauer continues, "One of our core values is to help others grow as we grow ourselves. We've found this to create synergies that would not otherwise exist and it's this momentum that has and will continue to define growth in this next generation of business."
WMEE's Brian Shiekh, Promotions Director and Sales Executive with Federated Media, is equally enthused about the partnership, "We are very excited to be working with Mike The Pike Productions on this show in the form of on-air promotions, ticket giveaways, contests and exposure for the event to our entire listener base. MTP is an up and coming company looking to do great things and I think this show is definitely a step in the right direction. They are looking to bring a string of shows to the city and beyond and WMEE is thrilled to partner with them for a great event at the stadium with their Back to School Summer Send-Off."
The company has also harvested some great contacts for corporate sponsorships on the show including major Cellular carriers, music stores and the Armed Forces/National Guard.
Newbauer adds, "These first few shows will be big for MTP in demonstrating to its partners, private affiliates and its shareholder base that we are capable of bringing name talent, producing profitable and entertaining content and continually building the brand and its capabilities as we approach casting sessions for our first two feature films, 'Dresden Sun' and 'Fish in a Barrel' set for pre-production in 2010. With proper casting and enhanced exhibition opportunities, in addition to theatrical, like On Demand, DVD, Apple TV, etc., you're looking at anywhere between $3-5M conservatively to upwards of $20-30M; Films like 'Waitress,' 'Saw,' 'Juno,' 'Napoleon Dynamite' (the list goes on) have proven that its not uncommon to defy conventional forecasts either."
