In this rocky economic climate many business owners are scrambling for leadership and direction. The popular informational series, Brand Camp is one of those platforms that offers a beacon of light. Director, Hajj Flemmings has created this popular seminar series at Lawrence Tech in Southfield, Michigan. This popular format has attracted such notables as Ken Brown, Scott Monty, (Ford Motor Company) and April Holmes just to name a few.
Metro Detroit video artist, Ted Cantu was picked this year to create viral videos for the popular event. The momentum from Hot Metro Finds has picked up in the last few months as the economy is starting to shift. Already a hit on Google, Cantu explains his sudden rise of success, “We have aligned ourselves with the top names in the industry. The difference between us and those who try to emulate us is that we are physically out there doing more and more things. We do not have mini meetings and micro delegations about how we are going to get things done. We just do it.” Adds Cantu.
In by “doing it” we are referring to a non-stop commitment and on the road touring. Ted Cantu has created 9,000 links with Hot Metro Finds and his efforts are getting noticed on the web with many popular speakers, trainers and businesses. The idea of having a floating video magazine has been looked upon favorably by some of the biggest names in Metro Detroit including such business giants as Windsor Beauty Supply, Kawasaki, and even pop acts like The Ruiners.
By having such an eclectic range of clients has made life somewhat stressful for Cantu and crew. The range of projects have ranged from corporate to popular industries including automotive, green clean companies and legal. “We refuse to be defined by any one category or industry. I’m sure our competitors would love us to become narrow minded to the point of indecision but we invite an abundant point of view when it comes to projects. The economy is changing. Just a few months ago we were doing real estate and mortgages but not anymore. Now we are broadening that scope since many of these professionals are closing their doors in Michigan. We too must expand.” Adds Cantu.
And expand they have. This month marks an incredible season of innovation for Hot Metro Finds. The creative group has featured a talk show on the closed set and have created viral web awareness. On the flip side of the spectrum of rock and roll, retail, and seminar speakers the group has also added medical and alternative medicine to its portfolio of clients.
