“Life is like a Roller Coaster ride…Sometimes you’re hanging upside down, helpless, pockets spilling quarters. Sometimes, you’re laughing, screaming, the wind in your hair, on top of the world!” --Greg Laurie2009 was a Roller Coaster Ride.
A lot of highs and lows, Burgos Media Solutions had amazing opportunities happen last year. In January 2009, we had the opportunity of filming story line footage for NBC’s “The Today Show” America’s most watched TV morning show. My twin sisters Lauren and Alyssa were featured for their business. We produced and directed music concerts and live shows in Times Square & across the tri-state area for amazing bands, American Soul, electronic press kits, an off Broadway play, filmed commercials, TV talk shows, national webcasts and business conferences featuring CNN political analysts, 700Club TV Show and host Gordon Robertson, and worked with Kenneth Copeland Ministries on their international TV Show telling an amazing story about a father and daughter being reunited after many years. In March, our company made promotional videos for NYACK College that premiered in front of the IZOD Center for over 18,000 attendees. We worked with award-winning artists, wall street companies, TV shows for India and more! And in October I had the opportunity of being an extra with HBO on a new show, “How to Make it In America” premiering in January 2010 with acclaimed celebrity/fashion designer, John Varvatos. When the economy took a downturn, we were hit like the rest of them, sometimes going months without any proper payment as contracts froze, budgets depleted and people couldn't market properly. I felt like throwing up! But I still had to pay bills and keep the company going.
God has blessed us. It was the first year I worked independently without any steady accounts, or any other sources of income! I had a great team supporting me. My family: my mom and twin sisters, my dad, and great media interns and contractors: Candace Jackson, Jaely Jimenez, Michael Castro, Philip Swift, Justin Hawkins, Henry Marin, Jonathan Kapps, Jon Castelli, Desiree Royer, Hector Guerrero, Eddie Soto, Marisha Clarke, Johanna Ferreira, Jonathan Plaud, John Olin, Rich DiPietro, Jeremy Garcia, Nina Chiofalo, Vivian Wright, and more! Looking back, I learned a lot. We had many ups and downs, but it has been a great build up to the next ride: 2010! Many thanks to my great mentors and clients that have helped keep us going! Dan Stratton, Eddie & Norma Dejesus, Liliana Blanco, Kim Jones, Donald and Vanessa, Aaron Brown & Chuks Agada!
