We have grown up watching ‘The Rock’ do a lot of things. From thrashing the life out of people both in the ring and in movies, he is more than a social figure. He is known to be a man with a wonderful heart who not only gives fitness goals a new name, but also lights up the lives he touches. There are a select few celebrities who use their image to make this world a positive place by motivating and influencing their fans, and Dwayne is definitely on that list.

Unforgettable and inspiring day. #HoldOn 🇺🇸

One such amazing association that has stood out on Dwayne’s social media has been his love and affection for Vancouver in Canada.  He’s often shared his tales of struggle and how the city helped him reach where he is today.

Sometimes the goal we’ve worked our ass off for years is never achieved. Then years later we look back and realize, it’s the best thing that NEVER happened.

He is currently shooting for his movie in the same city and his movie project has generated more than 3,000 jobs for people living there, which is a huge number. To felicitate everyone’s beloved ‘The Rock’, the mayor of Vancouver, Gregor Robertson decided to declare 19th October as ‘Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’ day.

And big thanks @TheRock + team for making #Skyscraper movie in #Vancouver. 3000+ people working on set this week – phenomenal! pic.twitter.com/derbJTVu7o

“Yes, we do smell what The Rock is cookin, I, Gregor Robertson, Mayor of the City of Vancouver, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM OCTOBER 19, 2017 as DWAYNE ‘THE ROCK’ JOHNSON DAY”, the proclamation read. Dwayne was honoured in a quiet meeting and people didn’t get to celebrate until the announcement was made public by the star on his social media.

It’s official: The Rock Day. Such a cool (and bad ass) honor to have the Mayor of Vancouver, Gregor Robertson, present this proclamation to me last night on set. I’m a grateful man to be in the business of making big movies and entertainment that serve multiple purposes around the world. One of those critical purposes is providing jobs for thousands of hard working people, local businesses and economies every time we bring a production to town. Jobs and opportunities for people. And free waffles for me. Thank you Mayor and your staff for being so gracious and welcoming to myself and our entire production crew to your city. And thank you for this honor and thanks for being such a cool guy. Vancouver will always hold a special place in my DNA. Next time drinks on me.. #ItsOfficial #TheRockProc #October19th #Vancouver #TheRockDay ✊ðŸ?¾

If you are a fan, it doesn’t matter if you are in Vancouver or New Delhi. Any day is a good day to celebrate the big man.

Year after year movies set new heights, unveil new themes and give us thought provoking storylines to be cherished forever. In February, the Oscar telecast is viewed by millions of movie lovers around the world, as the star-studded ceremony is one of the most anticipated events in the entertainment industry. People wait for the entire year to watch their favorite films and artists winning the golden trophy. 

However, at several instances in the history of Academy Awards, questions have been raised on the winners and those nominated.

It was 1995, when three of the most watched cult classics in the history of cinema, competed for Best Film category. The night of March 27, 1995 changed the fate of the then three best film nominees and the final winner. It was Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Pulp Fiction’, Robert Zemeckis’s ‘Forrest Gump’ and Frank Darabont’s ‘The Shawshank Redemption’ – films that stood in the toughest face-off against each other. Let’s take a look at what makes these three films special keeping in mind that no arguments since last 22 years have been able to create a dent in the individual popularity of each of these films.

Starting from ‘Forrest Gump’, the film took away six Oscars out of thirteen nominations. Tom Hanks, who later became popular by the name of the most memorable role he has ever done – ‘Forrest’, carried the film solely on his shoulders.  Critics defined this film as “a heart-breaker of oddball wit and startling grace”, in no time after the film’s release, people started believing that ‘Forrest Gump’ is one movie titled ‘constitutive’, when it comes to the list of films one must watch in their lifetime. The film not only had the grace to transport one into a new world, but also stood strong with a remarkable performance not often available to the audience.

When Al Pacino and Robert De Niro announced the Best Film (1995) winner, it left viewers watching the telecast throughout the world disappointed as ‘Pulp Fiction’ lost the award to ‘Forrest Gump’.

People have always known Quentin Tarantino as a film-maker with an exceptional vision. No director or film-maker in Hollywood has been able to knit stories of hatred and bloodshed like Tarantino. With his second attempt in aestheticizing violence through ‘Pulp Fiction’, Quentin succeeded in building his own audience. ‘Pulp Fiction’ not only garnered critical acclaim at various film festivals during 1994, its very unsympathetic and exhilarating shrewdness hit the most unexplored areas of cinema. Even after receiving seven Oscar nominations, not winning the most deserved one would always remain an unfulfilled dream for ‘Pulp Fiction’ fans.

‘The Shawshank Redemption’ slowly became a worldwide phenomenon, years after critics called it a film which “stands the test of time and still resonates with viewers.” A simple humane story of survival over the years became the most loved film ever. ‘The Shawshank Redemption’ won no Academy Award that night, but still maintains its stronghold as the highest rated film on IMDb. 

The night of March 27, 1995 is still a mystery, as for many it was the most significant event of their careers, while for others the most life transforming. Beyond awards and recognitions, the path-breaking stories of each of these three films not only made them the best of cult classics but timeless epics of Hollywood.

If you know and understand that writing press releases are great for your business and just need someone in Fort Worth, Texas to write a press release it for you, then go straight to the contact form, fill it out or call and let’s get the ball rolling. If you are simply exploring the benefits of press releases, then read on.

Fort Worth, Texas

Professional Press Release Writer in Fort Worth, Texas, USA

Savvy professional marketers have always known the impact of press releases and have been using them to the advantage of their employers and clients. We have been using them in our business for over 20 years now. Before the internet was available as a commercial medium, we would focus on the general news media as well as trade publications. Once we figured it out, we started using it so effectively that we were getting more press coverage than competitors who were 20 times larger than us. That meant we were getting promotional exposure worth tens of thousands of dollars – for FREE. Press Releases have been good for our business and they can be good for your business too.

Don’t you wish you could get the coverage that big business gets? Whether you live in Fort Worth, Texas or elsewhere in the world, you can benefit from sending out press releases.

When the internet got commercialized, we adapted our press releases accordingly. We used to have one press release format, now we have two press release formats. We were getting traffic from the print media then. Now we target both print, online media, search engines and yes we target the user directly – all through press releases. That does not mean we only use press releases – no – that means press releases are an integral part of our marketing campaigns.

After the economic meltdown of 2008, a lot of people became unemployed. Many could not find jobs so they became self employed and naturally took to the internet as a means of soliciting business. The majority of these hardworking self employed people are not professional marketers and end up gravitating towards whatever the latest buzz is. They spend a lot of money buying expensive courses and that is all fine and dandy but they end up missing on some great fundamental tools that have worked in the past and continue to work today in the world of the internet and new media.

Just setting up a website does you no good. You have to drive traffic to it. Traffic does not just show up by itself. You have to drive it to your website. How do you do it? There are a whole range of things you can do but one of the best methods is to send out a press release.

Fort Worth, Texas

Many people think sending out press releases must be a complex job costing them $1,000s of dollars. That cannot be farther from the truth. It does not cost anything.

A conventional press release reaches the end user / reader via the editor who acts as a gatekeeper and filters which press releases are worthy of publishing and which are not. If you use the right press release format, write the way they want it, you have a very good chance of getting published as a news story. A press release getting published as a news story has far more weight than an advertisement. That is why some Ads try to mimic a news story and mention in small print ‘paid advertisement’. It’s worth it and they know it.

A reasonably internet savvy person creates his own news streams by subscribing to various feeds and getting them on his news reader. He can also set alerts that notify him when news are available in his area of interest. He decides what to read and when to read and does not want any editor to decide that for him. Your job is to present him information via feeds and reach him directly.

Search Engines have opened up a whole new world. What is the search engine trying to do? It is trying to please the user so he will keep coming back to it whenever he has something on his mind. The more often the user visits, the more Ads the search engine can serve him and the more money it makes.

Don’t you feel like you are being used no matter what the technology. Yep. That’s how it is. However; this time you are on the other side. You are inviting the search engine to use you so you can use it to reach the end user. Ironic? Maybe. The search engine is trying to crawl fresh content so it can please it’s user. You feed it fresh content via Press Release sites. Why not feed it directly? You do – by letting the search engine index our pages – but the search engine views a Press Release Distribution site as a more likely source for fresh content and crawls it several times a day. Besides, Google gives a Press Release Distribution site more weightage or a higher page rank. That means a page originating from a PR site will carry greater weight. Quite often you will see your press release via a PR site show up high on searches with your own page nowhere in site.

A link or URL originating from a PR site carries greater weight. If your press release got published in 20 PR sites, those are 20 high ranking links pointing to your website. That is invaluable as the more links from high ranking sites pointing to your site raises the page rank of your site. When your site’s page rank goes up, you start showing up higher on relevant searches.

Let’s recap. Whether you live in the Fort Worth, Texas area or anywhere else in the world, the benefits of Press Releases are universal. By sending out press releases, you get traffic from:

  • Press Releases that show up in Google Alerts and RSS feeds directly on the readers desktop.
  • Press Releases that get printed as news stories in conventional newspapers, journals and trade publications.
  • Press Releases that show up in searches.
  • Your own site showing up higher in searches.
