New York Festivals Midas Awards & Skitish Media Present Funny Money Comedy Night
New York Festivals Midas Awards for the World’s Best Financial Advertising™ with Skitish Media will present Funny Money, a night of networking and comedy featuring author/entrepreneur, James Altucher and performances by standup comedians, Yamaneika Saunders, Joe List, and Mark Normand.
Join the Midas Awards and Skitish Media on September 27th at 6pm at Stand Up NY for an evening of cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and networking and entertainment. The entertainment kicks off with James Altucher, founder of Reset Inc. and co-founder of StockPickr sharing his personal insights on branding and continues with hilarious sets performed by three of the comedy world’s most talented and recognised young comedians.
“This event is an opportunity for creatives and executives who work in financial advertising as well as on the brand side to take an evening off, connect with their peers, hear James’ perspectives on branding and perhaps take life a little less seriously with the help of these talented comedians,” said Scott Rose, Executive Director, Midas Awards.
Altucher will take to the stage to discuss his unique views on Branding based on his experience as a successful entrepreneur, investor, and writer. He has started and run more than 20 companies, some which failed, several of which he sold for large exits, in addition to also running venture capital funds, hedge funds and angel funds. “Effective branding is about doing,” said James Altucher, “it’s about showing that the brand and the customer can communicate honestly, that they understand each other and that they relate by speaking directly to each other in a two-way conversation. Brands can create conversations by being their authentic self, by showing their true personality, by honestly revealing what’s important about the brand and what is of interest to their audience. Tools like youthful advertising and comedy have proven to be instrumental in creating an authentic conversation and developing a relationship with consumers where brand speak and listen.”
The author of eleven books including the motivational bestseller, “Choose Yourself,” Altucher has inspired people both in person through hundreds of events and through weekly Q&A Twitter sessions on topics including money, stress, fear, and much more. His writing has appeared in major national media outlets, including the Wall Street Journal, ABC, Elephant Journal, Tech Crunch, Forbes, and CNBC. Altucher’s blog, The Altucher Confidential, has attracted more than 10 million readers since its launch in 2010.
