—Relentless Aaron Bio— Updated: May 15th, 2008 Imagine what it must be like to own and operate more than 50 different brands, and you can get an idea of just how busy Relentless Aaron is. He is currently the CEO of Relentless Content, where he creates, manages and markets content for mass market paperback, screenplays and multi-media productions. In addition to publishing, marketing and promoting the 3 dozen books he’s written as an author under St. Martin's Press and G-Unit/ Simon & Schuster/Pocketbooks, Relentless is also Founder and Programming Director of Relentless Networks. As such, Relentless oversees more than 30 Internet Broadcast Channels (facilitated on the Mogulus platform), including Hip Hop TV, The Soul Café, The Reggae Room, Golf TV, Top Model TV, and Chrisette’s Corner, a channel he developed for the Grammy nominated songstress, Chrisette Michele. On a day-to-day basis, Relentless works at developing strategic alliances with known brands as well as emerging brands, as well as he maintains relentlessaaron.com and fine-tunes his books for market, coordinating with his editors and publishers. And even while television and radio interviews are a constant, he maintains a ritual of writing new novels, speaking engagements in schools and before major corporations as well as book industry events. Recognized by Publisher’s Weekly as a “street lit phenomenon” and by ABC World News as “a one-man-marketing machine,” Relentless maintains a healthy blog that always informs and teaches the ins and outs of the publishing industry from a selfpublishing perspective, as well as from the vantage point of one author who has created a brand that has been well-received and has earned global status.
