African American, Fortune 100 Company Executive Turns Entertainment Entrepreneur

Posted on by


Trenton, NJ (PRWEB) October 7, 2008

Roland Laird is a critically acclaimed author with a passion for his culture and his community. On October 3 2008, at the height of the U.S. financial crisis, Roland left his position as a VP of Technology at a wholly-owned subsidiary of a Global Fortune 100 company to grow his near 20-year-old side business Posro Media in Trenton, NJ into the country’s leading convergent entertainment company specializing in African American culture.

Read Roland Laird’s LinkedIn profile at http://www.linkedin.com/in/rolandlaird.

The Posro name is a play on the word “Negro”. “We took away the negative ‘prefix’ and replaced it with a positive one,” says Laird. “We reversed the charges, so to speak.” Reverse the Charges is also the name of the blog that Roland has begun at http://www.posro.com/blog.

In the early 1990s Posro was one of the first black-owned independent comic book companies publishing the hip hop-infused series MC Squared. Today the company produces projects in a variety of formats, including comics, books, video, and film. Posro projects’ positive imagery is designed to stand in sharp counterpoint to the mass media’s often unrealistic and misleading portraits of the African American community. The company’s fresh, and historically accurate perspective on topics ranging from slavery, to sports, politics, Hip Hop and superheroes have garnered praise from many national media including The New York Times, The Source, Entertainment Weekly, NBC’s The Today Show, and MTV.

Laird co-authored with his wife Taneshia, Still I Rise: A Graphic History of African Americans, a critically acclaimed work with an impressive scope: the entire history of Black America, told in an accessible 216 page graphic-novel form. Originally published in 1997, it was recently updated and now extends from the arrival of the first Africans in 1619 right through to Senator Barack Obama’s groundbreaking presidential campaign. Compared by many to Art Spiegelman’s Maus, Still I Rise is a breathtaking achievement that celebrates the collective African-American memory, imagination, and spirit and the book has been embraced by colleges and schools throughout the country.

A graduate of Brown University, Laird co-founded the NY Chapter of Brown University’s Inman Page Black Alumni Council and its affiliate the Ethel Tremaine Robinson Foundation. He is also the president of the board of the I Am Trenton (NJ) Community Foundation. An active advocate for his community, Laird has played many roles working on the behalf of the people of Trenton, Harlem, and other underserved neighborhoods.

He is experienced in media interviews and speaking to community groups and school groups from secondary school to universities. He has also been a writer-in-residence at Miami Dade College, was selected as a Winner-of-the-Week by Tavis Smiley, and in 2004, the US Mission to the United Nations recognized Laird as a global ambassador for his tireless devotion to his world community and heritage.

Laird was born in Brooklyn to parents with Jamaican roots. His family moved to Hollis, Queens where he played pick-up basketball games with future rap impresario Russell Simmons and remembers future hip hop legends Joseph “Run” Simmons, Darryl “D.M.C.” McDaniels, and Jason “Jam-Master Jay” Mizell as kids from the neighborhood.

As a teen Laird excelled in math and science and attended New York City’s top public magnet Stuyvesant High School where his English teacher was Pulitzer Prize-winner Frank McCourt who said Laird was a talented writer and wanted him to attend Vanderbilt and study English. Instead, Laird earned his bachelor’s in mathematics from Brown and a master’s in computer science from New York Institute of Technology.

Franchise Executive Provides Bailout

Posted on by
Reply

Mill Creek, Wash. (PRWEB) January 5, 2009

The Franchise Media Update Group in San Jose, California, reported that inquiries from entrepreneurs interested in buying a franchise opportunity are down nearly half.

Some experts believe the slowdown in franchise inquiries is a result of too many opportunities. The International Franchise Association (IFA) report that there are over 3,000 franchise businesses offering a business model.

“Franchises are carving themselves into categories and unlimited sub categories of specialty, creating mega competition,” reports Samuel F. Hirschberg, President of Hirschberg Direct, a Direct Marketing firm that specializes in working with franchisors, master franchises and area developers.

“For example, the fitness category, a sub category within the health category, is made of the mega gym, 24 hour gym, men’s only, women’s only, personal training specific, over 50, under 14, even babies, on and on.” With so many directions to go, the decision making process can be a daunting one for the potential franchise. Putting more pressure on the franchise model to provide the best possible opportunity.

But in today’s economy, a business must be on their “A” game, consisting of effective marketing, sales, operations and administrative protocols. Hirschberg says “Marketing and sales are paramount to a healthy system, which is why our organization has provided a bailout program to help franchisors get back on track.”

“Effective marketing and sales systems set a good example for the entire network. Not only do great methods bring in revenue to support the shareholders and the business model, but this flows to the franchisees, who are closely watching watching every move of the franchisor.”

A reliable stream of new inquiries will lead to a steady stream of new franchise owners. “Franchise models must first monitor their efforts in order to establish baselines, and secondly locate new methods of acquisition for reliable and sustainable growth. This is a good practice for both the franchisor and the franchisee, which will make the entire network more valuable in the long run, proving objective insight into where the business originates and where the most profitable business is coming from.”

To help franchise models get a better handle on their systems, Hirschberg Direct has made available a free special report, to bailout franchise models in search of growth. The 10-page information-rich report, The Franchisors Guide to Marketing: How to Sell More Products & Services to More People, More Often is available by going to http://www.hirschbergdirect.com or by calling 805-220-7800. The report includes a case study featuring common errors made by an advanced sales department, and how to avoid mistakes that could be costing your organization revenue.

About Hirschberg Direct

The company, based in Mill Creek, Washington, tagged as the Entrepreneurs’ Entrepreneur, has been developing marketing systems for nearly 15 years.
