New Business Opportunities For Regional and Remote Communities Revealed As National Broadband Network Rolls Out











Isolated Australians Will Benefit From The NBN

Noosa Heads, Queensland (PRWEB) December 29, 2011

As the Australian government fulfills its commitment to a National Broadband Network, a growing number of previously isolated communities are being given the opportunity to access fast broadband. Through a new online hub, Online Business For Regional Australia (obra.com.au), internet marketer and writer, Kerry Finch, is identifying viable business models, critically assessing and reviewing training programs, and reporting on NBN rollout news.

“Having fast and reliable internet access will change the lives of people living in remote, rural and regional Australia” explained Ms Finch. “The online business and education opportunities are immense, and the flow on from these has a whole raft of social implications.”

National Broadband Network For Regional Australia

A joint Media Release issued on 18 October 2011, by the Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gillard and Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Stephen Conroy, stated “The NBN will be a massive boost for the Australian economy, opening up previously inaccessible national and global markets.”

It continued “Importantly, the NBN will allow local communities to thrive as businesses grow without the need to move to major metropolitan cities. This will mean jobs growth in regional Australia, and mean more people will be able to be employed locally.”

Australians located outside of the country’s major cities comprise both Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples, living in remote, rural and, increasingly, mining communities. These have traditionally had limited opportunities for educational advancement and home-based business establishment and growth.

“Women in particular have been reluctant to remain in such environments because of the limited opportunities for work and social interaction. The NBN will make it easier for them to establish online businesses and harness the power of the internet to expand current businesses” said Ms Finch.

Online Business Opportunities Continue To Grow

Ms Finch identified several business opportunities for people in regional and remote areas of Australia, including:


Creating ‘how-to’ ebooks and video instruction products and marketing them online
Showcase artwork for sale online
Display craft items in an online-store layout
Bring offline businesses online, e.g. selling items to the world instead of the local community
Setting up affiliate marketing businesses
Domain trading
Futures trading

“There are so many business models, and most people online choose one or two upon which to focus” explained Kerry. “But the obra.com.au site also warns against the ‘get rich quick’ schemes online; just as there are golden opportunities for establishing legitimate businesses, there are also people looking to take advantage of newcomers.”

Through the obra.com.au site, Ms Finch and her guest contributors will include reviews of tools, and recommendations for training and products from niche experts who have demonstrated their professionalism, legitimacy and commitment to quality.

Oxygen Network Announces Development of New Reality Show Featuring the Life of Caroline D’ Amore













Caroline D’ Amore


Hollywood, CA (PRWEB) December 05, 2011

The Oxygen Network has just announced that they will capture Caroline D’ Amore’s life on a new reality show aptly named, “That’s D’ Amore”. Although still in development, the show will center on Caroline and her two sisters as they attempt to ‘keep it real in a not always so real town’. Refreshingly, her family’s story of rags-to-riches will feature prominently in the backdrop, expounding on the journey from a single struggling pizzeria to eleven highly successful restaurants, the most recent of which just opened in Las Vegas at Planet Hollywood’s Miracle Mile shopping district; an amazing feat for a company still family owned and operated. In line with her meteoric rise to international stardom, Caroline’s creative focus is geared toward Hollywood glamour, having made guest appearances on television shows such as, “Entourage” and “90210″, and performing in films including, “Sorority Row”, “Daydreamer” and “Pizza with Bullets” which she won a best supporting actress award at The Angeles Film Festival.

Caroline D’ Amore, sanguine artist and vaunted fashionista, is upon the precipice of her greatest venture yet, achieving the revered moniker, international icon. Born and raised in Los Angeles, the accomplished young actress began her career relatively early as a show-stopping New York runway model, striding the catwalk and strutting her stuff for design powerhouses Diane von Furstenberg and Stella McCartney, to name a few. Combine one part love for fashion, one part zeal for design and you have Caroline’s recipe for haute couture swimwear entitled D’ Amore Swim, outpacing the competition at high-end, niche boutiques such as Fred Segal, Dash, and Milk. Capitalizing on her love for fashion, Caroline is currently developing a swimwear line for a big time online retailer which will likely advance the industry for years to come and cement her name firmly into fashion history.

No stranger to success with any industry-specific task she attempts, Caroline has performed and headlined at major events including the InStyle Magazine party at the Rockefeller Center, the Elle Magazine party in Taiwan, and the Heat Festival opening for Steve Aoki. Her most recent single, “Diamonds and Gold”, co-written with Electric Valentine, landed in the hands of DJ Skee on Los Angeles’ principal pop radio station, 102.7 KISS FM. Still considered an indie artist and as of yet unsigned in the U.S., having a single in rotation on the largest radio station in Los Angeles proves that Caroline’s melodic prowess is a media force to be reckoned with. Dj Skee enjoyed the song so much that he invited Caroline into the KISS FM station to promote a show she singlehandedly produced entitled, “Temper Tantrum”, a sold-out eclectic mix of her favorite bands ranging from Anjulie to Hamilton among others.

Beginning nearly eight years ago, her passion for music has paved a path into the ‘record’ books, spinning at preeminent events around the world and previously featured as a Promoted Artist and opening act for megastar Will.I.Am at the MTV Music Awards in Tokyo. If that wasn’t enough to sate the audible appetite of her devoted fan-base, she released two back-to-back DJ albums through Sony Music Entertainment while touring and promoting throughout Japan. An accomplished lyricist, Caroline wrote every word to her critically acclaimed single, reaching the top of Japanese music chart glory. Her professional DJ debut in the U.S. has had a similarly prominent effect on the music scene as she will shortly announce an exclusive DJ residency, the first of its kind for any female DJ, at the hottest new venue in Las Vegas due to her sold-out summer performances at The Light Group pool parties. Electronica superstar DJ Tiesto even made an impromptu guest appearance at Caroline’s most recent Vegas concert after hearing the buzz surrounding this exuberant phenom.

If all that wasn’t enough to occupy her time, Caroline is gearing up for her wedding with rocker Bobby Alt, the co-creator and founder of the world famous franchised drum show, Street Drum Corps, which has just finished a yearlong tour of over 20 countries. Jet-setting and performing together around the globe, Caroline and Bobby have no intentions of slowing down anytime soon, there’s simply just too much to do.

Introducing The “Life Science Branding & Marketing Network”











Gaetan Fraikin, President, Life Science Branding & Marketing Network


San Diego, CA (PRWEB) November 14, 2011

San Diego based Audacity, a life science focused strategic branding agency, announced today that it has launched a new networking platform for branding and marketing professionals in the life science industry.

“While we greatly admire what other life science organizations are accomplishing in terms of creating networking opportunities for its members, we couldn’t help but feel like there was a serious void still waiting to be filled in the life science community,” said Chief and founder of the Life Science Branding and Marketing Network, Gaëtan Fraikin. “We believe this new network answers that problem.”

What distinguishes the Life Science Branding and Marketing Network (LSBMN) from other networks and organizations are three core traits: its “think local, act global” approach to professional networking, its focus on creating a niche membership community within the life science industry and its commitment to pushing educational content that promises to help its members apply new branding and marketing strategies in the workplace.

According to Fraikin, “Despite strong and successful efforts to bring the life science community together as a whole, the marketing and branding communities within this industry remain very much isolated from one another. At the same time, an overwhelming majority of life science companies are still behind the curve in terms of marketing innovation. I think the lack of interaction within community pockets like these is probably helping to contribute to our industry’s lagging marketing innovation as a whole. But I believe the existence of this network will go a long way to helping rectify that.”

Another interesting fact about the network – it will include an Advisory Board of elite branding and marketing executives who come from a variety of cross-sections across life science.

“We’re especially pleased to have a fantastic team of branding and marketing experts on board with us for the launch, and we really look forward to seeing how their input and collective years of experience will help shape the growth and guide the direction of the network for the future. These are people at the forefront of their field, and it’s an honor to know they share the LSBMN’s vision of building a strong, globally connected, community for life science branding and marketing professionals.

“Perhaps the most exciting thing,” said Fraikin, “will be that in addition to aiding the network in an advisory capacity, these individuals have also committed to give back to their industry peers in a big way! As Board Members, they will be contributing exclusive ‘members only’ educational content on the ins-and-outs of life science branding and marketing. It’s really an exciting prospect for anyone who has struggled with managing branding and marketing teams within their own organization.”

The Life Science Branding and Marketing Network plans to hold its first social event in late November. Those interested in learning more about the Life Science Branding and Marketing Network can visit the group’s website at http://www.lsbmn.org, or by contacting them via email using info(at)lsbmn.org, or calling (858)-324-1963.

Backed by a team of industry experts, the Network aspires to fill a void in the life science community by helping its members build and expand their professional networks locally and globally, form relevant connections, share their years of knowledge and learn helpful ways to apply branding and marketing best practices in the workplace, ultimately resulting in brand performance optimization.
