Description: I hope this day finds you well. My name is Michael Whelan. I am a professional entertainer and media entrepreneur launching a global media brand. While I am seeking first round fundraising and would be considered an early stage project, you will find my partners and I have vast experience in the media and marketing community as well as impressive strategic contacts for scalable growth. The first round raise for the Charmed Life brand launch will include (URL removed); a Web 2.0 internet tv/blogging site powered by mainstream media appearances (tv, radio, print) and featuring an international marketing campaign developed by the merchandising guru involved in the launching of the brand Chicken Soup for the Soul (100 million copies in print and numerous spin-off products). Janet Switzer, who co-authored the NY Times Best Seller The Success Principles with Jack Canfield (Chicken Soup for the Soul) , and her team will be heading merchandising/branding development and project a 65% to 75% ROI in the first 120 days with approx 50% of revenues from international markets. Future projects will include: a television series, satellite radio channel, and over 100 online strategic partnerships. Given concepts and forming partnerships, past experience strongly suggests the first round capital investor(s) will have the opportunity for a timely ROI and equity in a scalable media empire. In short, with an experienced media management/tv production partner in Jacquie Jordan Inc. and marketing/merchandising partner in Janet Switzer Inc., the Charmed Life brand is ready to take flight. If you find intriguing, speaking earlier than later could provide us both a win-win as the project will gain from early stage participation. Thanks for your consideration and look forward to your thoughts... * Michael Whelan Demo Reel - (URL removed) * Marketing/Branding Development Team - (URL removed) * Media Management Team - (URL removed) Cheers, Michael Whelan (URL removed)
