About D S Simon’s 2012 Super Bowl Initiatives:

“Even though I am a diehard Jets fan, I’m proud that we’re going to be partnering with former NY Giants football Super Bowl hero, Carl Banks.”

“He’s an awesome personality and he’ll be heading a co-op Satellite Media Tour on January 26th before the big game. It’s a great opportunity for you to share your message with key audiences across the country.”

“We also have a very important anti-domestic violence initiative with the Verizon Foundation and the NFL Players Association that will be taking place from Indianapolis during Super Bowl week.”

“If you’ve got content that’s Super Bowl related that you want to share with news stations across the country as well as web outlets, we’re going to be holding not one but two video B-roll feeds on January 31st and February 1st to get your content distributed easily.”

D S Simon Productions had a big year in 2011 and would like to thank all who have helped to make that possible. For the second year running, we chose to give thanks by sharing our good fortune with young, bright students from disadvantaged communities in the greater New York City area and make a donation to the Fresh Air Fund on our client’s behalf.

Partnering with the Fresh Air Fund, D S Simon participated in their Career Awareness Program for 7th to 9th grade students. The vast majority of kids who participate in the program go on to become college graduates. Take a look at their time with us:

Douglas Simon, President and CEO of D S Simon Productions, shares a few exciting projects D S Simon completed during the holiday season with ToysRUs, Macys and CEA. The D S Simon family wishes you and yours a very happy and healthy holiday.


Some of Doug’s Vlog Views:

“One of the fun parts of doing what we do is sometimes we get to go behind the scenes. When it happens to be one of the most talked about events in America at that time it gets to be a lot of fun. This year we had a chance to work with three of our partners that we work with quite a bit, going behind the scenes from Thanksgiving to Black Friday and all the way to Cyber Monday.”

“For Macy’s, we were able to do a series of projects looking at the balloon preparation for the big Thanksgiving Day Parade as well as a number of other promotions for them.”

“We were there for Black Friday for Toys’R’Us as they opened their doors on Thanksgiving night.”

“I hope you enjoyed this look in and have a wonderful holiday season!”
