Fox Corporation Partners with SeeHer & Launches “She’s a Hero” Initiative
Fox Corporation (Nasdaq: FOXA, FOX) and the Association of National Advertisers’ (ANA) SeeHer movement announced a partnership to further support the organizations’ mission to accurately portray women and girls in marketing, advertising, media and entertainment. In support of International Women’s Day, FOX and SeeHer will introduce “She’s a Hero” – an initiative that will honor and celebrate female first responders.
“FOX is proud to support the #SeeHer movement and its continuing mission to promote gender equality, as well as highlight the incredible achievements of our female first responders through our “She’s a Hero” initiative,” said Marianne Gambelli, President of Ad Sales for FOX. “Across the country, we continue to see the brave contributions that our first responders and front-line workers are making throughout our communities, and I am proud we can use the FOX portfolio to honor and celebrate their remarkable and vital work.”
The activations for the “She’s a Hero” initiative will include:
FOX will highlight the amazing achievements of real-life female first responders with a thematic, custom- produced, spot that will air on March 8 in a FOX Fast Break during an original episode of the hit drama 9-1-1. Starring Angela Bassett, who also serves as an executive producer of the network’s popular 9-1-1 franchise, FOX’s #1 scripted series draws from real life, high pressure experiences of first responders. Additionally, FOX will distribute the custom-produced content across the social platforms of the 9-1-1 series.
SeeHer member L’Oréal Paris has signed on to partner and support the custom content that will air in the FOX Fast Break and across the 9-1-1 social platforms.
The beauty brand’s signature philanthropic program, Women of Worth is calling on Americans across the country to nominate an everyday hero they know for a chance to be named one of ten 2021 Honorees. Each woman will receive $20,000 to fund their charitable endeavors, a national platform to share their stories and an opportunity to build a network that will create an even greater impact in the community they serve. Nominations close April 30.
“FOX Entertainment has built its reputation on telling diverse stories and bringing the underrepresented to the forefront,” added Suzanne Sullivan, EVP of Ad Sales for FOX Entertainment. “The characters and programming that air on FOX introduce perspectives and lifestyles that are not often seen in media and give a voice to those who are excluded from the conversation. 9-1-1 is the perfect series to align this custom content, and we’re proud to partner with L’Oréal Paris to help celebrate female first responders.”
“We are delighted to partner with FOX to further advance our mission of accurately portraying women and girls in marketing, advertising, media and entertainment, so they can see themselves as they truly are and in all their potential,” added Nadine Karp McHugh, president, SeeHer. “Now more than ever with research revealing that women are taking the brunt of the pandemic and with the majority of essential workers being female, it is crucial that we see her and celebrate all of her contributions. Programs like 9-1-1 and the real-life stories they are telling through this effort represent a great example of shining a light on authentic real-life heroes.”
Additionally, FOX will further amplify its “She’s a Hero” initiative and distribute the custom produced content celebrating the work of real-life female first responders across FOX Sports and FOX News Media.
Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
