Douglas Simon President & CEO of D S Simon Productions had a conversation with Lauren Dewhirst, the newest member of the D S Simon Productions Team about her experience, philosophy and approach in her new role as VP, Director Midwest operations at D S Simon Productions.



Some of Lauren’s VlogViews:

“During the hiring process, I learned D S Simon Productions is an innovative, integrated, content creation company with distribution across all platforms, anything from TV to radio and Internet. I didn’t realize that Internet Media Tours, Viral Video, Media Placement and Video Press Junkets were such an important part of what we do. But, most important was the fact that we are at the forefront of where our industry is going. That was really important for me.”

“I’ve worked with some of the CMO and Chief Communications Officers at great companies and have been at the table with them outlining what their goals are for the coming years. I’m excited to help them strategize, plan and execute broadcast PR initiatives to help them achieve their goals.”

“The new demographic should be 25 – 57.”

Holiday Video Greeting and Donation From D S Simon Productions

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

For many in the business world, 2009 has been a year of survival. But survival takes on a far different meaning when you consider the millions of Americans who literally don’t have enough to eat. As part of our company holiday celebration, we decided to spend a day helping out at a food and clothing bank here in New York City and making a donation to help provide winter clothing to those in need.

Our time spent at the Hebrew Union College Soup Kitchen and Clothing Closet showed how thin the dividing line is between needing help and self sufficiency. This year we saw a larger percentage of “working poor” who still couldn’t earn enough after paying rent and utilities to pay for food at the end of the month. We saw a much larger percentage of people who you could easily imagine working in successful high paying jobs. It definitely helps us to realize how blessed we are.

We wanted to offer this Holiday Video Card as a thank you to all we have worked with in 2009 and take this opportunity to wish you all the best in the New Year.

About Hebrew Union College Soup Kitchen and Clothing Closet

Every Monday evening, in every season, the student-run HUC-JIR Soup Kitchen welcomes over 100 homeless and hungry guests for a nutritious meal. Volunteers from around the New York area – secondary school pupils, college students, and adults – help us prepare and serve the meals. The Soup Kitchen offers our guests not only meals but also free legal counseling by NYU Law School students, free clothing, and toiletries, as well as a sewing service.
