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!”

Occupy Wall Street’s Effect on Media & Corporate Communications

Monday, December 5th, 2011

Martin Murtland, Vice President & Managing Director, Factivia Communicator, for Dow Jones discusses Occupy Wall Street’s implications for media and communications.


Some of Martin’s Key Takeaways:

“The thing I find interesting is just the shear wide range of topics that are being covered in association with the Occupy Wall Street movement; such as economic inequality and executive pay but also, more recently, things like police enforcement.”

“We found in traditional media, focus was more on the police crackdowns and on social media the discussion was around the actual protesters being pepper sprayed, particularly the University of California campus where they were protesting possible hikes in tuition fees. If you compare them in totality, I think they’re both covering the same sort of issues and following a similar trend pattern in terms of the volume and the favorability.”

Wall Street Journal Editor’s Presidential Debate Initiative Gets Boost from D S Simon Productions

Tuesday, November 1st, 2011

To Link To Post: http://bit.ly/spm6D3

In response to Wall Street Journal Deputy Editor, Editorial Page, Daniel Henninger’s request for a more “presidential” debate process, http://on.wsj.com/sBViTr, D S Simon Productions, a broadcast production and integrated video marketing firm, has offered its New York City HD studio to the Journal and GOP candidates for free.


Dear Mr. Henninger,

We’re offering our D S Simon Productions HD Broadcast studio in New York City to the Wall Street Journal for free to hold the type of intimate debate that you advocate in your Wonder Land piece, “Our Un-Presidential Debates.” I too share your concern that the process is preventing a discussion of the most serious of issues and distancing the American Public from the important criteria that can lead to an informed decision. We want to help.

We’ll provide three HD cameras, all lighting, all audio, all crew and personnel, incoming questions via phone or skype and live transmission via satellite and internet.

We look forward to working with you on this important initiative,

Douglas Simon
