Press Release Summary = Want your video game release to be on the minds of frat boys everywhere? Your new alternative rock cd to be played at the football game? Your t-shirts to be worn on the middle school morning announcements? Need street cred for your urban artist? If guerilla marketing is what you're looking for, then the
team of young marketers at Blown Away Marketing, a division of Swept Away Media, has just want you need.

Press Release Body = Six years ago the teen television show Swept Away TV was created by sisters Jaime and Amanda Rich, then 15 and 17 years old. Over 150 episodes later, and more than 700 teens and college students participating in their program, the 73 person cast and crew decided that in order to keep producing their award-winning program, they needed to become self sustaining. Even on a shoe-string budget, the show needed a way to become self supporting. The crew had eagerly participated in marketing projects for video games, cds, and movies over the past 6 years. They had the experience and the talent to produce those campaigns for clients nationwide. Thus, Blown Away Marketing was born.

Blown Away Marketing has tremendous capabilities in getting trend setting products to tastemakers across the country. With affiliate youth media groups in 66 major cities and college campuses in all 50 states, it is possible for them to put together a coordinated effort across the country. One of their most effective projects has been their High School and College Press Conferences where artists such as Sum41, Andrew WK, Something Corporate, The Exies, Thrice, and the Alkaline Trio have been introduced to youth journalists who then write or broadcast a feature about the artists.

"We are able to target students with particular characteristics and approach them as peers," said Zac Rich, 18. "When I'm introduced to a movie, game or a band by one of my peers, it makes it more interesting to me." "We apply that concept to everything we do," Rich said emphatically.

Perhaps all the market research your firm has shelled out for might not be as useful as a little student union action from the youth marketers at Blown Away Marketing. If the idea of authentic youth getting behind your products appeals to you, you might want to check out Swept Away TV, www.sweptawaytv.com and get in touch with the crew there. The costs are small when compared with similar services and the potential reward for your firm is huge.
