Forest Home Media – HGTV Urban Oasis Influencer Event

Forest Home Media is honored to work with them again on an epic influencer event. Our team first work on the HGTV Smart Home in 2014, built by client Carbine & Associates in Nashville.

Home lifestyle influencers from eight states traveled to the HGTV Urban Oasis influencer event where signature cocktails, nibbles and amazing music was enjoyed and incredible music on the back porch by the talented duo, Kat & Alex.

Here’s more on the home from HGTV, created by design favorite Brian Patrick Flynn.

This modern refuge tucked away on a bustling city street is not your typical Southern home but rather serves as a blend of the traditionally timeless and cosmopolitan all within a contemporary structure that fits right in with the trendy, up-and-coming Nashville neighborhood.

Our audiences will appreciate the light-filled interiors with a fashionable country music flair. Inclusive touches allude to the diversity of the city from reinterpretations of female artists’ album covers to imagery parading the walls with color. These cohesive accents – from paint to décor to accessories – bring the vision of each room together. A beautiful bank of skylights allows natural light to flood in, enveloping the staircase and drenching the upstairs bathroom with sunlight.

Downstairs, neon LED signage greets guests upon entry adding a playful nod to honky-tonk culture and the legendary music industry that was born here. Just off the dining room, a custom-built banquet incorporates an original plank of wood from a pew of the historic Ryman Auditorium. In the kitchen, Food Network enthusiasts will enjoy the high-gloss cabinets, large eat-in island and wow-worthy storage solutions designed by expert organizers, Pinch of Help. French doors lead from the cozy living room to an outside porch peppered with plants, fun + functional outdoor seating and Broadway-inspired bistro lights.

The home commemorates Nashville by featuring historical undertones and museum-like experiences including a floor-to-ceiling Hatch Show Print gallery wall, vintage instruments display, a garage mural painted by famous muralist Kelsey Montague, and a jam room loft that pays tribute to legendary music and radio personalities like Dolly Parton, Elvis and Minnie Pearl.

Periscope Marketing 101

April 16, 2015 By Nancy McNulty

There’s a potential game-changer in the world of marketing and technology now in its third week since being released called Periscope. Twitter introduced the new live streaming app and Forest Home Media is committing to broadcasting useful PR/marketing tips for the next two weeks! We’ve outlined our topics at the end of this blog.  If you haven’t heard of Periscope yet and need to know more, CLICK HERE for a great tutorial.

The Forest Home Media team thinks this live streaming opportunity will continue to develop and be a great avenue for companies and events to provide their own voice.  (And, we can’t even fathom what happens during breaking news.) As you stick your toes in the water of this new technology, here are some tips as you get started.

Our first Periscope broadcast was a test run at the Nashville Symphony Show House, being built by Castle Homes and open for tour June 12-28.

Periscope Marketing Tips

Let’s start with the assumption you’ve already downloaded the app to your iPhone. (Plans for Android are in the works so stay tuned.) Here are our first steps toward your first successful broadcast. And, be sure you start with your phone fully charged!

  1. As with any new social media channel, from Instagram to Pinterest, you want to go ahead and grab your username before yours is taken. Once you’ve acquired your name, place your finger over the content to easily edit the information that was imported from your Twitter account. Be sure you add your website if applicable. At this time, the option to revise your name doesn’t exist.
  2. Don’t press Broadcast button unless you are ready!  We’ve watched a national mag do this and several other folks have made this mistake. Maybe one of us…but we’ll never tell!
  3. Go ahead and find folks to follow.  We’d love for you to give Nancy McNulty, Dana Tucker, Geinger Hill and Forest Home Media a follow to keep up with the latest! When first logging in, we did NOT follow everybody we follow on Twitter.  You’ll be overwhelmed. Take a look at our list or someone else’s for inspiration. My list is media/blogger/public influencers heavy and Dana Tucker is on the search for bloggers & other creative types. I’ve also been intrigued by a British guy named Mark Shaw. He’s been broadcasting some great Periscope tips. (Be sure you turn off your notifications or sound especially if you’re following people in international time zones – ie. – Mark Shaw woke me up in the middle of the night!)
  4. Contemplate offering content in your broadcast that is helpful, interesting and supports your brand or identity. The first week of what’s in your fridge or purse is waning. And actually, if you are broadcasting and someone asks that, it’s considered code for you are boring people!
  5. Select a name or headline for your broadcast that offers an explanation and be sure to deliver on that title. As with blog titles, it is a good idea to use a list, like top 5 ideas, etc. Also a good idea is “find out, how to, mistakes not to make.” Again, what’s a topic that works for you – consider yourself a brand. We are also hashtagging all our broadcasts #ForestHomeMedia because we will be sending out an auto tweet from Periscope to promote the broadcast. (Highlight the twitter icon on the bottom right as you prepare to broadcast.)
  6. Outline your broadcast and do a quick rehearsal if you can.  It makes your broadcast more professional. We did this before offering a tour of the construction of the Nashville Symphony Show House.
  7. Signage – Identify who you are in the broadcast or how to find you. We used our iPad to display during the Nashville Symphony Show House First Look broadcast and to cross-reference Castle Homes and Forest Home Media Remember, if you reverse the screen, your sign will be reversed.  Several folks have hand written their websites and handles backward.  You can do better by using a free app to reverse it or check your printer options.
  8. Save your broadcast.  Upon finishing your broadcast, you have the option to save it to your phone.  Dana Tucker has already taken a cute broadcast of her son trying to swim already (ummm, it’s April, Zane!) and she posted it to Facebook.
  9. If you are broadcasting from your home, you probably don’t want to turn the location arrow to the far left off. However, be sure you indicate your city in the headline so folks have a connection.
  10. This just in….Twitter has updated so you can now change your photo on Periscope.  Go to the App Store, update Twitter, update your picture, log out of Periscope, log in and you should have your photo instead of the egg icon.

We’ve been intrigued by these Periscope Marketing elements:

  • When you join a broadcast and if it is not too full and you are able to comment, you are color-coded and it matches the hearts to the right you give broadcasters. You can watch post broadcast and it will register your view and you can also give hearts.  The broadcast remains live for 24 hours.
  • Finally, beware, live stream broadcasting can be a huge draw on your monthly data which is why we will be spreading the two-week commitment between three staffers.

If you have anything you want us to address via Periscope over the next two weeks, feel free to email us at nancy@foresthomemedia.com.

For the next two weeks, from Thursday, April 16 until April 30, one or more Forest Home Media team members will be broadcasting live on Periscope and here is the schedule of topics.  It is also possible something will come up news worthy during this period of time and we will be notifying you via our Facebook page of any changes in the broadcast schedule.  (We sound all HGTV fancy!) And, don’t forget, this is emerging technology with continuous changes. You do need to update your app from time-to-time. Be sure and let us know when you are broadcasting so we can follow back and don’t forget to tweet out your broadcast & promote on Facebook!

Home Project Earns National Sales And Marketing Awards

February 4, 2015 By Nancy McNulty

Helping promote and market the build of a custom home for a decorated war veteran has to be one of the most rewarding projects in the history of Forest Home Media to date. We were doubly thrilled when this build earned for client Carbine & Associates two national awards recently with Forest Home Media’s marketing efforts included in the honor.

The National Association of Home Builders’ (NAHB) National Sales and Marketing Council (NSMC) salutes and honors the best in the building industry for their determination, integrity, creativity and endurance through their The Nationals award program.

 

The Nationals are the most prestigious awards of their kind, setting the benchmark for innovations in new home design, marketing and sales said Christy Beck, chairperson of the Nationals.

 

“NAHB’s commitment to recognizing originality, imagination and success has been exemplified by its award winners since the competition’s inception,” Beck said.

 

Forest Home Media Partner Nancy McNulty, who was part of the PR team for the project, said watching Carbine & Associates marshal so many volunteers while witnessing the construction of the beautiful, four-bedroom French Country home with Tudor accents in the gated community of Kings’ Chapel was awe inspiring.

 

Carbine customized the home to the family’s needs for Luke who suffers from severe PSTD and a brain tumor. Van Dorston joined the US Air Force in Feb 2002, flew 140 combat missions, involved in more than 64 direct action raids and directed 194 Close Air Support Missions, served at the Interservice Military Free Fall School where he trained over 500 Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine and Allied Force special operators. He was involved in combat engagements earning him two bronze stars, one with valor for heroism.

Award Winning Project

The project earned a Judge’s Special Award of Excellence and a Silver Award for Building Industry Community Spirit Award.

Standing Up Against Bullying Campaign

January 26, 2014 By Nancy McNulty Leave a Comment

From building a home for a wounded vet to helping Moldavian orphans, our Forest Home Media clients are at the top of their game and helping others at the same time including launching a bullying prevention campaign in partnership with the Nashville Predators.

Months in the making, at Friday January 17 news conference, Students Taking A Right Stand launched a proactive bullying prevention campaign in partnership with Nashville Predators’ player Colin Wilson with support from WKRN’s Dawn Davenport, Justin Bruce, Neil Orne, Audra Martin, WSMV’s Kacy Hagerty, NewsChannel5’s Lelan Statom, Aundrea Cline-Thomas, NPT Volunteer Gardener Co-host Troy Marden, Predators radio play-by-play/102.5 The Game co-host Willy Daunic and Great American Country’s Stacy McCloud and our first country music artist to sign on – Julie Roberts. (Note, if you want to lend your voice to this campaign, please contact us ASAP).

Key to this campaign was a public service announcement filmed at the Predators’ practice ice in Nashville and produced by their stellar communications department. Here’s a look at Colin’s PSA with STARS Kids On The Block puppet, Mark Reilly, challenged by cerebral palsy and a wheel-chair which doesn’t slow him down in teaching kids kindergarten through sixth grade about differences of all kinds.

Area media began promo’ing the news conference Thursday night based on the media advisory and then followed up with coverage by ABC, NBC and CBS affiliates.

The Sunday Tennessean printed two columns FHM helped generate on the campaign from Wilson and the students Lauren Jernigan and Laurelle Campbell who conceived the campaign idea. Here’s the overview produced by Forest Home Media explaining the campaign.

In Phase II, we are seeking out area notables to lend their support to a second PSA in the Bee A Friend Campaign. The folks above have signed on to be a part and talented director/cinematographer Armanda Costanza has volunteered her services to produce it. (Her credits include the hit ABC show “Nashville.”)

Another interesting aspect of the campaign is requesting area youth to send in their own 2 to 4 minute videos explaining how they have implemented the Bee A Friend idea to win a Hunt Brothers Pizza Party, dessert & more.

With a full roster of home-industry related clients, Forest Home Media lends their PR support to nonprofit client Students Taking A Right Stand as well as volunteer work with a variety of causes including ALIAS Chamber Ensemble, the missions of Bethlehem United Methodist Church and Miriam’s Promise.

And as John F. Kennedy paraphrased Luke 12:48, “to those whom much is given, much is expected.” Go out and make a difference!
