INTRODUCING THE FASHIONTRUST®
A NETWORK THAT RE-DEFINES HOW TALENT AND BRANDS
PRODUCE, DISTRIBUTE AND MONETIZE CONTENT TOGETHER!
I. PRODUCE: the art+fashion group (pier59, 3590 productions, 59 red
motion, etc.) is the (service-based) support network for "now
generation" photographers and the fashionTrust®.
2. DISTRIBUTE: fashionTrust® is the digital media network with
proprietary social tools that help models, photographers and other
fashion-related members (stylists, hair and make-up artists,
promoters, etc.) market themselves.
EFTA00779650
3. MONETIZE: i think this is what you and tommy are talking about when
you ask, "what can we own (beyond the tools outlined in the
Confidential Investment Memorandum" — i.e., how do we partner with
artists and brands to create original IP — a catalog that we own and
license back to the brands.
as discussed, this is in essence is what photographers do (they get
paid to create assets and then they license the usage of these assets
back to the brand and/ or get paid a buyout fee) ... AND what we have
been trying to do — albeit one-step at a time — at cYclops LLC with
the IP that we create and manage. the fees and overhead for these
services (basically $4M) were not included in the CIM for
fashionTrust® because they threw the investment/ return model off.
nobody is investing directly in production companies or the content
that they create — it is currently a service business.
change the model, change the game.
• step one > ELVIS: we were paid $240k by RCA to create the platform
for the launch of the 30 #1 Hits album. we delivered the "look and
feel" for the program; partnered RCA/ EPE with nike, fye and other
brands for 2% of the media that they placed behind the program plus
the right to produce original "mobile graceland" merchandise for a 12%
royalty to EPE. the album sold in excess of 6M copies on a projection
of 600k and we were retained to develop the E2: second-to-none
property. in february 2005, robert sillerman acquired an 85% interest
in elvis presley enterprises, Inc.
• step two > SPORTS ILLUSTRATED SWIMSUIT ISSUE: we were paid $240k by
sports illustrated to produce the 2007 swimsuit: music issue and tnt
network special. working directly with editor terry mcdonell we helped
produce and score each of the 2007 spreads/ "behind-the-scenes" shoots
with original music from beyonce, fergie, will.i.am and sergio mendes,
big & rich, elvis presley, fames brown and the stax catalog, amongst
others. this soundtrack drove the "look and feel" of the tnt special
which we helped SI package to major brands like budweiser and
victoria's secret in return for back-end participation and the
creation of a disposable iPod which featured the respective playlists.
that product was a flop because no one, other than bud.tv, was ever
going to buy music for $19.99 regardless of whether or not it was
essentially a CD that played itself. great marketing gimic but not a
sustainable revenue model — even with $1M of bartered SI media
support. the cYclick® was born from this experiment and the
incremental fees directed to cYclops LLC from the 6-month license we
delivered to Budweiser — we owned 66% of the IP/ SI 33%.
New York, NY — Feb. 14, 2007 — Time Inc.'s Sports Illustrated
releases its first-ever music-themed swimsuit issue today with an
edition that's tied to the sounds of Brazil, Memphis, Jamaica and
Miami. The effort will be backed by the release of a series of
revolutionary pre-loaded portable digital music players called dop!
The dop! players contain over two hours of music inspired by the
issue's lush and sexy photo spreads, as well as a music-themed
Swimsuit special that will air on cable network TNT on Feb. 17, 2007.
EFTA00779651
The S.I. dop! music player and cable special are the result of a
partnership between cYclops LLC, Sports Illustrated's content
Executive Production company, which has been tasked with extending the
magazine's brand and print assets into areas of sight, sound and
motion and Sports Illustrated.
• step three > SWIMSUIT, DONE RIGHT (original proposal attached
below).
for $2.5M we create our own swimsuit issue, distribute it on CBS the
night b4® the super bowl; via covers/ feature editorial in 12 niche
publishing titles; and the fashionTrust® online network... and then we
license the rights back to participating brands.
we do this by partnering with the artists - in this case the
photographers and top models from IMG and marilyn that SI couldn't get
— to create a library of IP and merch (digital and hard goods —
like pirelli-like calendars,high end coffee table books on each model,
supermodel bottle water deals, downloadable music and work-out videos,
digital wallpaper downloads, etc.) that we own in perpetuity.
all of which leverages the proprietary fashionTrust® social tools,
production and distribution network that is outlined in the CIM.
we pay the photographers and models to OWN the assets in the same way
they are paid — but the upside is that we split profits 50/50 with
them as IP owners.
jeb in your "say we make $IM" scenario this is how the profits from
the SWIMSUIT, DONE RIGHT would break out:
• fees are a guaranteed to the photogs/ models as draw against
editorial/ catalog rates.
we keep 50% of the profits ($500k)/ the artists split the other 50%
($250k to the photographer/ $250k to the model pool).
• we, which includes the photogs and the models, OWN the IP against
these splits and the next ten shoots we produce in perpetuity.
the brands own the rights to use the IP for as long as they pay the
license.
sports illustrated has built a significant business from this every
year — and there is no real money in it for the artists (photogs/
models).
with the proper funding, we can do it better.
in fact, with cYclick® and the content we shot and edited from necker,
we just did.
we need the money and the ongoing content/ IP creation team to create
3 or more of these every year — with top photographers, models and
musicians... and we need to OWN the IP going forward and then license
EFTA00779652
it back to the brands AND make money with the artists via the content
that we produce, distribute and manage, together.
in the original model, i projected....
YEAR ONE COSTS:
STAFFING $360,000
ceo, biz/ dev and sales (based on half rate) 120,000
cco, original content (based on half rate) 120,000
head-of-production, original content (based on half rate) 120,000
ORIGINAL CONTENT TEAM $465,000
editor (based on half rate) 80,000
fashion director (based on half rate) 80,000
designer (based on half rate) 70,000
flash designer/ programmer 70,000
lead writer (based on half rate) 50,000
freelance "stringer" pool (based on 15 features/ blogs per month)
50,000
project/ content manager 65,000
OPERATIONS $130,000
ORIGINAL CONTENT PRODUCTION $3,000,000
to produce a monthly "online" fashionTrust® magazine PLUS up to three
other original content platforms - SWIMSUIT, DONE RIGHT and two
others that we would develop, produce and distribute off of the
success/ money generated from the respective SDR licenses.
note: VS spent over $2M to produce the shoot on necker island and
they own it
BUT they didn't get the cbs special and/ or any of the other
incremental upsides from our program.
in a perfect world we would have delivered both for in excess of $4M
in licenses...
and owned all of it in perpetuity with the photographer (russell
james) and the models (IMG and marilyn girls).
VS would have gotten everything they needed for their SWIM '10
catalog and then some based on the music
and media and "once-click" tools and social network comprised of
thousands of models.
note: amex, via guy mcarter and green room entertainment (their media
company)
was interested but decided to go with another program — we hadn't
shot the necker content
necker yet and/ or proven that we could produce the quality of videos
we ended up producing
with the girls we said we could deliver. SI was a safer bet for them.

actual deck.
