How to Become a Personal Manager and Promotion Manager?
If I were to become one of these what would I need in high school to become either a Personal Manager for the artist or to become a Promotion Manager of the company? And what University/college would I go to and what degree to take?
Please help!

From the source

Currently, there are no colleges or universities in the US specifically designed for artist management, however there are many institutions that offer programs in the areas of entertainment management or the music industry, most notably Belmont University in middle Tennessee. It is recommended that someone pursuing a career in artist management have strong communication skills, some knowledge regarding finance, business and law, and keen decision-making abilities. For this reason, any degree in business, communications, pre-law or even English is appropriate. The most important factor, however, is experience in the industry.

I was only curious since sometimes I run into people who complain about how poor a certain product is. I was wondering if wrestling promotions ever go scouting for bookers, instead of just for wrestlers. If they don’t, should they start or continue not to? Why?

BQ: Who, in your opinion, was the best booker? What separated this booker from the others?

All answers are appreciated and helpful.

WQ:) Nah bro whenever wrestling promotions (mainstream or independent)
go scouting for wrestlers they look for wrestlers and wrestlers alone. They
have people within the wrestling promotion who are in charge for booking a
match and the writers are in charge for writing the storylines. From what I
been noticing in the past few years World Wrestling Entertainment scouts
wrestlers who compete in the independent circuit (Ring of Honor Wrestling)
for instance. Cm Punk, Daniel Bryan, Scotty Goldman (Colt Cabana), Loki
and a few other wrestlers have wrestled in Ring of Honor in the past. Most
of those indy wrestlers don’t make it youve seen in the past KAVAL he only
lasted a few months and Scotty Goldman (Colt Cabana) was also released.
The people who go scouting for wrestlers are called the Wwe Road Agents.
Tna Wrestling does the same thing they have Tna Road Agents that scout
and bring in the new wrestling talent. Desmond Wolfe is Nigel McGuiness
he’s a former Ring of Honor and Pure World Heavyweight Champion. So, is
the team of Max and Jeremy (Generation Me) they are from Dragon Gate. I
know that new wrestler Crimson is Little Red the brother of Amazing Red.

BQ:) Best wrestling booker and wrestling promoter of all time would have to
be Paul Heyman. This man did it all he was the owner, promoter and booker
of ECW Extreme Championship Wrestling the original old school ECW not
the new breed show they would show on the Syfy channel. He was a genius
and a very good wrestling booker he had a lot of great wrestling talent in the
ECW locker room so for that reason he did quite well with his indy promotion.

I notice that when I receive promotions in the mail they usually send a better deal then on the internet. Most people don’t like receiving this in the mail. I was just wondering how I can get more of them sent to me.

Thanks for your help

For a while the banks slowed down on sending them while they were waiting to see what legislation was coming down. The offers have started flowing again. This morning I shredded about 30 of them that I have received in the past few weeks.

I am trying to intern at a record label or radio station both for the promotions department. I would like to know what I should expect to be doing. Thanks!

Setting up and attending events that promote the label or the station eg a party night at a club.

If I could just get a list of all the promotions he did, you get an easy best answer.
You, sir, are ignorant then.
Dear ma’am. If I were able to google it so easily, I wouldn’t be here. I just need a straight up list of them. The only things I can find all have unnecessary storytelling that I don’t have time for. My fault for trying to be efficient and finally getting a nice list of what he’s done out there.

First owner to have his players names on back of uniforms
Exploding scoreboard for home runs
Signed a midget to one day contract
Demolition Disco night
Started 10 cent beer nights
Had White Sox wear white sox during ‘59 World Series
Took a shower in bleachers
White Sox wore shorts as uniform pants during part of a season
Lost a leg during WWII - used a wooden leg
Wrote "Veeck as in Wreck"

create a questionaire on ur website or in the resturant and see where people heard about ur establishment

My son wants to buy Pokemon Black & White when it comes out on 3/6. Does anyone know the different retail promotions that are being offered? What kinds of freebies or gifts are the stores doing so people will buy it from them. Target has a $5 gift card if you pre-order. Anyone know any others?

The only place I read that there’s going to have a promotion when you pick up the game is Toys R Us. You get a window cling.
Black: Reshiram
White: Zekrom

[Edit]: I recieved a Game Stop Email newsletter claiming that if you pre order the game, at pick up you can get a free Celebi (it does not say it will be included in-game, if it’s a download file or anything like that) it’s kind of useless since you can get Celebi by Mystery Gift (WiFi) soon.

I have decided to call my fake chocolate shop, "dedication" I have used the colours browns and white in my logo.

Why is branding so important to a business?
How will my logo make my business successful?

Branding is very important in a business since it creates a personality in your business. From business letter headers, to uniforms, to your office’s interior design, there should always be branding. Branding usually reminds your customers who you are as a business and a good branding also gives a good expression from your customers. Good thing because there are some companies who helps you with your branding. Having a customized toll free number is included in the branding. Try visiting http://www.customtollfree.com and have one now! 1-800-dedication for your chocolate shop. How good is that?

Do a paper come to the commander letting him know that the promotion is coming up and he has to sign it? does it just show up on your erb? or if it is mid month like mine is jan 20 will it show on jan 20 or feb.1 on my erb?

Once you have fulfilled the required time in grade / time in service your name comes up on a list at the battalion level. Your name is kicked down to the company level from battalion for a “go” or “no go” decision.. Usually during a platoon sergeants meeting with the 1SG, the 1SG will ask the Solders platoon sergeant if he recommends the Soldier for promotion. If the platoon sergeant says yes, the 1SG sends a “GO” up to battalion and the Soldier should get promoted the following month on the 1st. If the Platoon Sergeant says no, he will have to provide the 1SG with a valid reason. A few negative 4856’s showing a recent pattern of misconduct will do the trick. The first line supervisor should counsel the Soldier to let him know that he is not getting promoted, why and what he has to do to get promoted. That counseling statement recommending the Soldier not be promoted gets sent to Battalion through the Company. Failure to provide the recommendation for non promotion will result in the Soldier getting promoted even if he is a dirt dag and doesn’t deserve it..

I want to do my dissertation on sex in advertising but do not just want to do ’sex in advertising’ as such - It needs to be far deeper and have a far more intricate title, I need to focus on an area WITHIN sex in advertising. Something I can really delve deep into anjd get results that have not been found before.

Any help would be appreciate immensely!

Hi Mia,

"How about looking at the acceptance rate by society as compared to frequency in advertising

–such as biracial couples, gay couples"

What I was thinking of was looking at how poll numbers show people being more accepting of biracial and gay couples over time - and comparing that with the percent of advertising using one of these types of couples aimed at a general audience.

Example: Since we now have a black president, I’ve noticed more commercials with black middle class families advertising a product.

You can always send me an email.

Hope that helps,
Chris
