We are running out of yellow bricks on our little road, sea in our voyage, and steps in our journey, but this journey has a happy ending and I will tell you all about it.
We started our business's social media campaign about the first week of February and it's been a wild ride since. We wanted to reach our adventurers in every way possible. We've shared with you contest winners, new adventures coming, and pictures/videos you sent to us! We truly are a company made up of the people who partake in our adventures. Speaking of which, we have a huge announcement tonight. Drumroll please!
After sorting through the 490 videos sent to us for our #1 Adventurer contest, myself, CEO Tyson Donahue, and 2015's #1 Adventurer
Rory Bickerstaff are proud to announce that Reel-to-Real's #1 Adventurer for 2016 is... Marcus Thatcher! Congratulation Marcus on this huge opportunity and we're looking forward to bringing you along on our team this year as we organize amazing concepts for adventures! To hear more about Marcus's story make sure to keep an eye on our
Facebook page, should be coming soon.

| New App - Coming Soon! |
There's so much more news to share with you tonight, so if this post gets a little long I apologize in advance. We're just having a blast over here at Reel-to-Real and we want to keep you all involved! In the next few weeks we will be making our new app 'R2R Crossing' available for free in the Android Market and Apple Store. This app is the home for all adventurers to come across each other. The app has a gallery of each adventure series, merchandise, and weather updates to keep all adventurers informed to the minute about their adventures, but the coolest thing is this live chat area we're calling Adventurer Hub. In this Adventurer Hub, we provide an area for adventurers to chat with each other and also interact frequently with actors, directors, tour guides, myself, our 2015 and 2016 #1 Adventurers, and also CEO Tyson Donahue. All of it is live! We cannot wait for this amazing app and we hope you download it as soon as it comes to the market.

| Me, Logan Mackie |
Now, I want to take a moment to break the fourth wall and discuss a little about who I really am. My name is actually LC Mackie, it just stands for
Logan Callum Mackie. I am a college Marketing student who is in his last couple of semesters of his Marketing Communications Program. I'm a very shy person, but once you scratch past the surface there's so much interesting things about me. Like that my dad is from Scotland, I have 3 brothers and 1 sister, I have failed many times in my 24 years, I have lost a lot including my best friend, but I am also one of the hardest working individuals you will ever find. I am dedicated 200% to my future of becoming a screen writer in Hollywood and my career aspirations are coming to life right in front of me! In about 1 year, I plan on attending either the
University of California - Los Angeles or
Arizona State University. Being from Wisconsin, that is a huge move.
I have had a blast running this business for the last 3 months and I hope that I was able to interest you all in what I was doing. It's eye-opening to see how hard it is to run a business's social media and to stay creative, innovative, informative, and passionate. These are all things I put in to every
Facebook post (36 posts), every
Tweet (88 tweets), every picture/video on
Instagram (25 posts), every blog post on this blog (9 blogs posts), and all the fun stuff we did like a Podcast,
YouTube, TV commercials,
Magisto,
Jing/Screencast, and
Soundcloud! I had such a blast and I am glad I took this class. I hope this helps vault me in my future and show the passion I could provide to a company in need of a social media marketer!
