Social Media in the World of Sports & Entertainment – 4th Annual Gravity Summit Recap

Posted by Ellen Enrico on March 5, 2012

We sponsored and presented again this year at the 4^th Annual Gravity Summit that took place just over a week ago on the UCLA Campus in Los Angeles, CA. It seems this event never disappoints as it was a spectacular day of learning and sharing about social media monitoring in the world of sports and entertainment. Not to mention the presence of some big names from these industries, including Warren Sapp, Janiva Gavankar, and for the 80’s music fans out there, Curt Smith from Tears for Fears.

Why “U Can’t Touch” MC Hammer When it Comes to Social Media

Posted by Ellen Enrico on February 22, 2011

We are looking forward to attending the Gravity Summit today, where old-school rap artist MC Hammer is being awarded the Social Media Marketer of the Year Award presented by Jeremy Blacklow, managing editor of AccessHollywood.com. You might be wondering: how did the maven who brought us “U Can’t Touch This” and Hammer pants transform into a social media guru with more than two million followers on Twitter?

He claims that Silicon Valley technology has inspired him over the years to spread his messages globally and get an early jump on the Internet, social media platforms and techniques like using streaming video. So the question is for brands — are there any lessons to be learned from MC Hammer?

From Rap to Tweet: MC Hammer Rules

Posted by Ellen Enrico on February 16, 2011

When you hear the name MC Hammer, what comes to mind? For me, the rap song You Can’t Touch This immediately fills my head, and I start grooving to the beat …

My-my-my-my music hits me so hard makes me say oh my Lord
Thank you for blessing me with a mind to rhyme and two hyped feet
It feels good when you know you’re down
A superdope homeboy from the Oaktown
And I’m known as such
And this is a beat uh u can’t touch
