Bursting Through Excuses & Changing Television with WAKEUP
When Adryenn Ashley got the idea for a new kind of talk show, it was December 6th, 2014. Within a few short months, she has crowd-funded it, hired a production crew and found hosts (I’m honored to be one of them!)…
So, what is the key to gathering a team and get things happening fast?
Creative Chaos, How o Pull Together a Team:
- Start with a strong vision and hold true to it.
- Gather people that understand the mission, a strong “Why.”
- Keep only those that are passionate.
What is the “Why” of WakeUp?
Feed viewers empowering content that has the potential to change lives!
To get more viewers, networks are programming our brains with the drive-through effect…
“We don’t need more Honey Boo Boo. We need more content that actually creates better lives, and we don’t have it. That’s not what the networks are programmed for because they are committed to getting the largest audience possible. I don’t want the largest audience; I want the right audience.” ~ Adryenn Ashley
And that is exactly what WakeUp is committed to.
Adryenn hired a film team to shoot WakeUp instead of a Television team, in order to work faster and smarter with more control.
The way we are now handling media, startups, and companies, we’re ridding the heart and soul of it in order to have in friction and get a quick hit. WakeUp is controlling the conversation by carefully hand-selecting everyone from guests on the show down to the advertisers. “It’s not just about the broadcast; it’s the whole community…We’ve built a social TV community.”
