MediaMensch announces LinktoCharlotte Live!

We kicked off LinktoCharlotte Live! events with a dinner at the Dilworth Neighborhood Grille on March 31. To be on our mailing list join our new meetup group at www.meetup.com/linktocharlotte

We had a dinner with great conversation and networking. We learned about green technologies from John Dabels, CEO, EV Powersystems who was th first recipient of the Charlotte Business Journal's Green Idea of the Year award, Our discussion turned to Charlotte and the need for the city to become green and really look at issues such as bike lanes and the supporting of business. We also discussed the changes of Charlotte of the years and how much further it needs to go to become a world class city. We were in agreement that one of the things Charlotte needs to do to become a world class city is to create a theatre district.

We look forwrd to seeing you at our next meeting on April 28 (the last Wednesday of each month)

The Flip

At the Coca Cola 600 race ,we had a chance to work with handheld portable HD video camera called The Flip Ultra HD. This camera takes two hours of video and then connects directly to your USB port of your computer to upload video. It is one of the simplest video camera to use.

Video of Jimmy Johnson and Crew Chief Chad Knaus:



We used the camera to capture footage of the race and the press conferences. We also used it as we started a spontaneous marketing campaign for MediaMensch LinktoCharlotte and LinktoMotorsports brands in which people would say "I like LinktoMotorsports" or "I like LinktoCharlotte". We were able to capture Rick Hendrick and NASCAR legend Bobby Allison, plus a few of our LinktoMotorsports members who were in the infield area of the racetrack including one of my founding members.

We also captured video from around the track area and will be editing this for future media. For more information on this camera, you can visit www.theflip.com



If you are looking for a great addition to your social media arsenal. This pocket sized camera is a great addition for around $200 retail.
