SpinGymin’ on the Red Carpet!
St. Petersburg, FL (PRWEB) October 1, 2010
Forbes Riley cemented her place in direct response television(DRTV) history as a “Triple Crown” winner at the 2010 ERA Moxie awards–the premiere award for the 0 Billion direct response marketing industry–recognizing the best in television, radio and online DRTV campaigns.
A 2010 National Fitness Hall of Fame Inductee and a 20-year veteran of the DRTV industry–Forbes Riley took center stage, a record three times, as she was awarded “Best Female Presenter of the Year” (Anthony Sullivan, star of Discovery Channel’s “Pitchmen”, was named “Best Male Presenter”). Forbes also took top honors for “Best Live Home Shopping On-Air Guest” for her arm toning fitness sensation SpinGym® on the Home Shopping Network (HSN). Capping off the evening was the Award for “Best Long Form Infomercial of the Year” which recognized the enormously successful “Living Well HealthMaster” with co-hosts Forbes Riley and Montel Williams.
Tristar Products Inc. President and CEO Keith Mirchandani, producer of Living Well HealthMaster commented: “Forbes Riley has hosted two of the highest grossing productions our company (and the DRTV industry)has ever seen. When I need a trusted Host that can lead a show, I look to Forbes. She has infectious enthusiasm, great improvisational timing and a very real personal connection with live audiences—all of which have helped to make our shows highly profitable.”
Guthy-Renker’s Senior V.P. Elliott Segal added, “Forbes is clearly at the top of her game, with genuine authenticity and a knack for inspiring and motivating people, it’s no surprise to me that she won three Moxie awards.”
Forbes Riley’s influence and success continue to grow with her branded line of fitness and lifestyle products, spearheaded by the launch of the Forbes Riley SpinGym® (www.MySpinGym.com). Tapped as a CEO to watch this year, she is profiled in the upcoming Forbes Magazine E! Network television special focusing on four of the country’s fastest growing companies: SpinGym®, Skullcandy, Silly Bandz, and Carol’s Daughter. “Got Rich Quick: Outrageous Fortunes” is scheduled to air on E! Network, October 28th, 10:00 p.m. eastern.
As a working mom, Forbes is continually looking for innovative solutions for busy families. The multibillion dollar Schwan Food Company recognized her appeal, and is featuring Forbes, along with her husband and children, in a new nationwide commercial campaign airing this fall promoting Schwan’s – Quality Food Delivered to Your Home. You can also catch Forbes weekly on Bravo’s “Live Better”, an informative talk show promoting healthy lifestyles.
Mercury Media Holdings Senior VP Ted Roderick says “Forbes Riley is on fire! With her proven track record, television network executives would be wise to snatch her up now. She is a franchise in the making.”
Forbes’ dedication to providing unique solutions and innovative products extends beyond her own brand. This fall she is opening the Inventor Dream Center and television production studio in St Petersburg, Florida, to identify products that solve problems or enhance lifestyle. As the daughter of an inventor, Forbes knows how difficult it is for inventors to take their ideas from scribbles on napkins, to marketing campaigns and retail distribution.
While holding an armful of crystal Moxie Awards, Forbes Riley commented– “Winning awards and being acknowledged by my peers is great, but the real prize is in making a positive impact on people’s lives. This year has truly been amazing, but in my mind… it’s just the beginning.”
