It’s official!
The highly anticipated television series Queen Sugar is set to air on September 6th and 7th.
Producers Ava DuVernay and Oprah Winfrey highlighted the upcoming show at the 2016 Essence Festival with an invite-only screening, keynote speech, and cocktail reception.
But the fun shouldn 't stop there. The weeks leading up to the premiere will be crucial for Queen Sugar.
“Marketing films and TV shows is not an easy task. If you want to stand out from the crowd, do something remarkable, be ambitious with your marketing goals…,” writes Marcus Taylor, founder of Venture Harbour.
Let’s launch Queen Sugar into the record books. Here are five marketing strategies to continue the momentum:
1. Host a Facebook Live Panel Discussion
This year, live streaming is marking its territory in our society.
From the Texas mom 's hysterical reaction to a Chewbacca mask to the aftermath of Philando Castile’s killing, live video is capturing people’s attention.
In fact, data reveals that “people comment more than 10 times more on Facebook Live videos than on regular videos.”
The Queen Sugar can harness this power to offer fans live panel discussions. Fans would be thrilled to hear from the talented cast and the all-female roster of directors.
“Let your [fans] know in advance that you’re planning to broadcast. It won’t do you much good to broadcast if nobody’s prepared for it. Make an announcement—preferably several announcements—in advance to let your [fans] know what they
Sugar was irresistible and that is why it was one of the biggest global trade items. There were pro’s and con’s to the sugar trade. Europeans got wealthy and powerful while slaves were worked to death.
In the production, The Real Queen of Hearts Ain’t Even Pretty, I believe the most important character is Liz Nichols. She serves as the antagonist of the play against Sherri Lee Speer. Liz uses her sense of power to shape Cass into her own shadow, as well as form how Cass and Paula feel about Sherri Lee.
• The promoters have been trying to promote the concept through press and meeting with retailers.
Today, sugar is a widely used product across the world. However, if it were not for Christopher Columbus, who brought it to the Caribbean Islands in 1493, this would not have been the case. Before that point, sugar was only produced in Europe, but following Columbus’ introduction of sugar to the Caribbean, the sugar industry rapidly developed due to multiple factors. The ideal climate of the Caribbean plantations, along with the increased demand from Europe led to increased investments in the overall production of sugar. In order to grow sugar cane you need the ideal climate, hence the reason why Christopher Columbus introduced it to Jamaica and Barbados. Due to the increasing amount of sugar being grown eventually lead to the crop to become
Through a colossal sugar-coated black-female sphinx, in addition to a series of life-sized, sugar and resin boy figurines, the artist Kara Walker successfully shows her concern of racism and gender inequality in a historical context--according to Walker, she tried to create a heroic figure that could possibly "fix the problem of the history and racism".
In the text, “Letter to Queen Victoria”, written by Lin Zexu in 1839, he implores the Queen of Great Britain, Queen Victoria, to stop her subjects from selling opium to the Chinese public. Zexu does so by exemplifying the past relationship of China and Britain, by moral persuasion, and by warnings and threats. However, Lin Zexu’s assumption of calling British subjects as Barbarian and compliant to Chinese rule ineffectively persuades.
Video is now being used primarily for capturing important moments in one’s life, including some of the most tragic. Both Jackie Kennedy and Diamond Reynolds lost their significant other at the hands of shooters captured on video. There are many similarities between the killings of John F. Kennedy and Philando Castile. Both Kennedy and Castile were unfairly shot in cars with their girlfriend or wife by his side, but most importantly: both shootings and their aftermath we captured on video. These videos both reveal as much as they conceal and give us different perspectives on the deaths of these men. Abraham Zapruder accidentally captured the shooting of President Kennedy when he was videotaping the passing of the presidential motorcade
Who could have seen that a young Texas boy growing up in poverty would write and record a song heard by millions of music lovers throughout the world? “Sugartime” has been covered by hundreds of artists worldwide and has been performed by churches, commercials, plays, musicals and purely loving individuals recapturing a simpler time in music history. There are currently dozens if not hundreds of renditions of “Sugartime” posted on the World Wide Web easily viewed on YouTube. Some are brilliant and others are comical. Charlie finds many of these versions exciting, as he’s happy to see so many people, especially young folks, taking an interest in his song decades after the original was released.
Lane said those attending King of Hearts this year can expect a night of entertainment from beginning to end.
She was born into a family of a long line of royal decedents. She became Queen at the age of twenty four. She was the first women to be on an US commutative coin. Who is this very accomplished person? Queen Isabella. Bold and daring, Queen Isabella accomplished many things in her thirty years of rein as Queen of Castile and Aragon.
The play No Sugar by Jack Davis has various themes and issues covered in it. My understanding of society helps with the meaning of this text, through multiple aspects. These aspects are shown in the text through various themes/issues. These themes portray society and help with my understanding of No Sugar. The themes/issues are as follows; colonialism, economic depression and the patriarchy society. All these topics were a big part of Davis time, and when he wrote the play. This is the reason that we can see these issues portrayed through his play. Racism is a big part of his play and in the era when the play was written as well, and it’s shown not as a separate issue but is portrayed
Many people are surprised when I say that I am a local Austinite. Born and raised here for 18 years, I frequently get asked the question, “Don’t you get bored of Austin? Why are you at UT?” While there are definitely low days when my heart just itches for adventure seeing my fellow Austin graduates’ pictures with the Hollywood sign in California or the Rockies in Colorado, I have come to realize Austin has so much to offer right within the city. In fact, one of the prominent reasons why I chose UT was because it is situated in the city I call my home and have so much solidarity with. One such aspect is the unique “foodie” culture. With some of the trendiest locations on the culinary map for adventurous fans of culinary dining, Sugar Mama’s
Lord Sugar sets out a task for the apprentices, now fifteen remaining. Getting a call to go to poet Samuel Johnson’s house, they meet with sugar were he tells them to go to the London pet show together to gather products which they sell them on for a profit. However due to the female apprentices not having done as well on the previous two tasks, Sugar mixes the teams up. The apprentices view products ranging from hi-vis chicken jackets, big animal face t- shirts, animal perfume, poop bags, dog sofas, rabbit mansions etc. before deciding on two products to invest in for the show. One team decides on luxury dog beds, animal t-shirts and balloons whilst the others decide on cat towers, heat pads and cat circuits. The luxury dog beds badly miss
The rise of sugar as a commodity in England situated England as the world’s leading consumer. The increasing popularity of coffeehouses among middle-class English people, as well the introduction of tea from China, fueled the counties. England’s growing interest in coffee and tea greatly increased the demand for sugar leading to a significant effect on Africa and its people. The high English demand for sugar required land to expand sugar plantations, and an efficient source of labor to produce, creating a connection between all three. For example, if there was not enough demand, there would have been no point in planting sugar and if cheap labor could not be obtained, it would not be worth doing so on such a large scale because it would have been expensive and unprofitable. Since they had all these contributing factors in their favor the British were able to gain profit from sugar plantations, which worked as a significant contributor towards their economy. To meet the land requirements the British picked their Caribbean colonies because of their control of that region and its climate. After finding the land for plantations, England had to find the source of labor to work these plantations. The English turned into Africa for cheap slave labor. The British had tried the local Caribbeans to work on the plantations but these people were already affected by the diseases that were brought to the area by Europeans. As a result, there were not many Caribbean people to work the
