BRINK bridges the gap between emerging talents and a potential audience via a socially progressive platform.

socially progessive

When it comes to social media, the key is to really be involved with your community and what that means is that you don’t just a have a Facebook page up there and spam your community, ‘hey!

I have a great new video!’

‘Hey, I have a great new recipe!’ It’s about engaging them in conversation and asking them about them and by starting a project on the web – and you know, a lot of people these days start businesses on the web, whether it’s a business or a media project – it’s your fans that are going to get you to that traditional media deal. You’ll need a proven concept [and] a tangible fan base. Treating your fans with respect online is what’s going to help get your project to the next level.

highlights

Each month BRINK focuses on a community photographer or designer and gives them the platform to show their work. How phenomenal is that? It truly focuses on talent and culture that is surrounding your neighborhood and most probably include some of your friends.

There are also pop culture editorials on TV, film, new media, music, literature, beauty, style and fashion. It is a very fun, interesting read. The very first time I picked up a copy I was like, YES! These people know what’s up.

BRINK also includes contributor opinions on national and global events featuring articles from London, Scotland, New York and LA. There is a huge world out there and what we do in our community may have inspiration from the other amazing cities in our world so it’s cool to hear the contributor’s opinions.

Colleen Burns Community Manager, Yelp.com I feel blessed to be able to share my strength and courage to help motivate and set a tone of understanding when people come from rough beginnings. Thank you so much for giving me another outlet to express myself! BRINK rocks!

Lisa D’Amato Winner, America’s Next Top Model All Stars I am so beyond excited to share this with the world.

You made my year with this. I cannot express how happy and flattered I am.
