Doing business without marketing is like winking at a girl in the dark. You know what you are doing, but nobody else does. ~Steuart Henderson Britt

A brand for a company is like a reputation for a person. What is your reputation saying or better yet what is it not saying?

HAPPY EASTER!

The Gaylord Texan Hotel was abuzz Friday evening as Nicole Hamilton and the 2009 Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders featuring the Show Group capped the season by performing for family and friends.

AD TEX Advertising Video captured every step in HD.

The 2010 Extravaganza exhibited all of the dance talent, skill, education and humanitarian work the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders do around the world. These young ladies are truly the cream of the crop.

Kitty Carter, special guest choreographer, made it hard to pick a favorite dance medley whether it was the Camo medley; Rock medley; Funky Cowgirl; Sports Funk; Shut it down, Give it all to me or the Hairspray Musical Theatre they all showed incredible power, stamina, gracefulness, and a heavy dose of hip-hop dance moves. Neal Mcoy added that Cowboy swagger to the night by peforming Billy's Got His Beer Goggles On.

We also got a look at future cheerleaders when the Junior Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders took the stage and strutted their stuff! The Finale was unbelievable! Look for directors cut soon! Thanks AD TEX HD.

Behind the scenes Austin photoshoot

Austin, Texas has incredible vibrancy. They literally have it on the streets as captured by NY Artist Craig Hien. And a perfect place for a high energy photo shoot. The Hotel Saint Cecilia is a slice of photographic heaven and Model Talent Michelle Box and Amy Cook played the part of angels well.

Austin is HIP! as in young, recently-settled urban middle class of adults and older teenagers with interests in non-mainstream fashion and culture, particularly alternative music, independent rock, independent film and magazines. Oh yeah even the millions of bats that fly out of Bat wing park at sundown have their own vibe too.
