ImagineNation provided consultation, direction and social media marketing/strategies to award winning actor VAL KILMER during 2017 for his film CINEMA TWAIN, his marketing merchandising  brand Twain Mania, and Kilmer's branded art company Val Art.

Val Kilmer is one of the most prolific actors of his generation. From his more recent work as a career military officer in David Mamet’s Spartan, back through his work with Oliver Stone in The Doors and Michael Mann in Heat, to his early work in Top Gun, Kilmer has worked with many of film’s most respected directors and actors.

Other memorable roles include Jim Morrison in Oliver Stone’s The Doors, the title character in Batman Forever, Doc Holliday in Tombstone and Simon Templar in The Saint. His other starring roles include Michael Mann’s Heat, with Robert De Niro and Al Pacino;True Romance, directed by Tony Scott; Ron Howard’s Willow; At First Sight; and Thunderheart.

Recent projects include the Ric Roman Waugh’s Felon, with Stephen Dorff; Déjà vu, an action-thriller produced by Jerry Bruckheimer Films for Touchstone Pictures in which Kilmer stars with Denzel Washington and Jim Caviezel; and Kiss, Kiss Bang, Bang, written and directed by Shane Black, and co-starring Robert Downey, Jr.; Millennium’s Bad Lieutenant, with Nicolas Cage and directed by Werner Herzog; Streets of Blood, with Sharon Stone and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson; and Francis Ford Coppola’s Twixt Now and Sunrise.

During the production of Wonderland, Kilmer began a photography project that blossomed into a behind-the-scenes pictorial book. Released by Pocket Book, the photographs were exhibited in several cities in the United States. He also published a volume of his own poetry titled My Edens After Burns.

Today, Kilmer tours the U.S. with the film production of his one man show Citizen Twain, aptly rechristened Cinema Twain. He also is a talented and prolific artist with enamel paint on metal, and his art can be seen in galleries and pop-up shows across the U.S.

ImagineNation provides consultation, artistic direction, and social media/marketing and promotional strategy for singer songwriter LOUISE GOFFIN.

Born in Brooklyn and raised in LA’s Laurel Canyon during its music halcyon days, Louise Goffin's career in music has ranged from singer-songwriter, recording artist, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, and has been known to tour as a hired gun for other artists. She made her start releasing her debut album when she was 19, and went on to release eight major label solo albums over her career. Louise now makes her music available on her own independent label, Majority of One. Her latest single, "Revenge" (a collaboration with North Carolina musician Skylar Gudasz) was released Oct. 2017. Her previous record was The Essential Louise Goffin Vol 1 - released in 2016. Louise both wrote songs for and produced an album for Carole King (on Concord) that was Grammy Nominated in 2011.

2017 found Louise with more than couple dozen recent tracks in the can. Plans are to put these songs out as part of a digital singles series to release one song and video at a time at six- to eight-week intervals. Her most recent singles "Let Me In Again" and "New Years Day" dropped in December via The Orchard. Watch for forthcoming singles with Rufus Wainwright (duet on 'Chinatown') and Chris Difford (Squeeze co writer-"Paris France").

Louise has worked with some amazing guest musicians, including Rufus Wainwright, Chris Difford (Squeeze), keyboardist Benmont Tench (Tom Petty), drummer Pete Thomas (Elvis Costello), guitarist Ben Peeler (Shelby Lynne), and award-winning musician Billy Harvey, who have contributed to her latest sessions. She toured with Tears for Fears, played with Donovan, Bryan Ferry (of Roxy Music), has Stevie Nicks, Don Henley and JD Souther singing on her first album, & has had her songs championed by David Gilmore, Linda Ronstadst, and Michael MacDonald.

Some other fun facts: she was the youngest artist to appear on the soundtrack the Cameron Crowe high school classic Fast Times At Ridgemont High. Her songs have been recorded by the likes of Paul Thorn, Shawn Colvin, Terry Reid, and her mother, Carole King. Goffin also dueted with her mom on the theme song for the hit TV show Gilmore Girls. 

Her recordings have appeared on film and television shows, most recently Gilmore Girls, Bad Santa2, Carrie Pilby, and Girlfriends' Guide To Divorce.

  Imagine Nation created a unique direct to consumer (D2C) Social Media Marketing campaign and strategy that engaged relevant BOB DYLAN fans via blogs, and fan websites as well as Twitter, Facebook, and You Tube with viral videos of the book in production and manufacture. Additionally, unique exclusive photos and mp3 audience were used to gain over 75k presale orders all via social media engagement. Book was used as incentive by Sony Music Group to sell the Tell Tale Signs deluxe boxset (book not available commercially nor separately). In an era where bookstores are harder to find-the model used was to go direct to those most apt to have interest-engage via social media messaging, and create the B2C strategy

Rock legend and Roll and Roll Hall of Famer JOHN FOGERTY is one of America's true singer/songwriting legends. Fogerty  is an American musician, songwriter, and guitarist, best known for his time with the swamp rock/roots rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) and as a solo recording artist.[1] Fogerty has a rare distinction of being named on Rolling Stone magazine's list of 100 Greatest Guitarists at No. 40 and the list of 100 Greatest Singers at No. 72. The songs "Proud Mary" and "Born on the Bayou" also rank amongst the Greatest Pop songs ("Proud Mary," #41) and Guitar songs ("Born on the Bayou," #53). Greg Lee worked closely with Fogerty while at Warner Brothers Records during John's return to recording ("Old Man Down The Road", "Centerfield" etc.) and consulted, designed and managed Social Media and Marketing/Promotion strategies for Little Swamp Music and John Fogerty's 'Blue Ridge Rangers Rides Again' album/world tour, and 'Centerfield' 25th Anniversary album/tour, and was known to Fogerty fans via JohnFogerty.com's community fan boards as 'Bayou Lover'. Imagine Nation also partnered with BONES TV Producer Hart Hanson to prepromote his new Fox TV show THE FINDER (Fogerty did theme song) using social media to drive traffic to the show's website and tune in (program debut) where we offered a free limited time offer of a free mp3 download of the Fogerty penned theme (to date, unavailable anywhere other than our promotion). Fans went crazy, several million downloads and impressions later- the show was a hit for the network and Hanson. Another case where Imagine Nation leverages your content, makes big impressions, and creates great organic word of mouth for you.

Jill Kargman is deathly afraid of clowns. And mimes. Wait, mimes are worse. She lives in New York City where she writes magazine articles and trashy novels and enjoys wrap sandwiches. She is the author of teen books Bittersweet Sixteen, Summer Intern, and Jet Set, plus some excellent grown-up books. And by grown-up books she doesn't mean porn; she means not young adult but plain old adult. Her articles have appeared in Vogue, Teen Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Town & Country, Travel + Leisure, Elle, Elle Décor, and a bunch of British magazines you've never seen. She went to Yale where she did not study writing and has three children who keep her young. And exhausted. Imagine Nation helped client JILL KARGMAN on two of her best selling books ("Sometimes I Feel Like A Nut" and "The Rock Star In Seat 3A"-both via Harper Collins) designing social media marketing and strategy to best reach targeted readers and those most interested in Jill's books. Every rock star has their fans, and Jill is no different. For 'Rock Star' we engaged music industry female influencers and tastemakers with advance galley's of the book months in advance to spread WoM at record labels, talent agencies, and video music channels..all culminating in a NY Times Bestseller (same for 'Nut"). Jill is currently having a blast on the Upper East Side in NY and planning her next attack on the book world.

HOLLYWOOD REPORTER: AUG. 2014
'Jill Kargman to Star in BRAVO NETWORK
Scripted Comedy Satire Series (Exclusive)

The series pickup for "Odd Mom Out" marks the second original scripted series -- and first half-hour entry -- at the cable network.

Bravo is continuing its push into original scripted programming.

The NBCUniversal-owned cable network has given the green light to Odd Mom Out, an original comedy series starring author/fashionista Jill Kargman, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. The single-camera series is expected to be included in Bravo's upfront presentation announcement Tuesday morning.

The series hails from Left/Right (Mob Wives) with co-presidents Ken Druckerman and Banks Tarver on board to executive produce alongside Kargman and Piro Vision's Tim Piper and Daniel Rosenberg.

Odd Mom Out is based on Kargman's life and captures the outrageous world of uber-wealthy "momzillas" of New York's Upper East Side. Kargman will star and play a version of herself negating a world that has become so elite, hip and trendy that she's now the odd mom out. The comedy is based on her novel Momzillas (Doubleday/Broadway), which was published in 2007. A premiere date as well as exact episode count have not yet been determined.

"When incredibly talented author and New York socialite Jill Kargman stomped her way into our offices we knew we had found Bravo's very own Lena Dunham or Louis C.K.," said Lara Spotts, senior vp development at Bravo. "Jill's unique ability to satirize the very exclusive, ridiculously competitive and highly entertaining world of Manhattan's momzillas makes Odd Mom Out the perfect series to expand Bravo's slate of scripted programming."

For her part, Kargman is a best-selling author whose works include The Ex-Mrs. Hedgefund, Arm Candy and The Rock Star in Seat 3A. Kargman and writing partner Carrie Karasyov co-wrote the 2000 Sundance film Intern. Their novel Wolves in Chic Clothing has been optioned. On the freelance side, Kargman has written episdoes of MTV's Ultrasound and So Five Minutes Ago. She's written magazine articles for Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Interview and more.

Odd Mom Out becomes Bravo's second original scripted drama series and first half-hour series. The cable network in February handed out a series order to Marti Noxon's (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce, starring House's Lisa Edelstein. The cabler picked up 13 episodes of the hourlong dramedy set to bow in 2015. Based on the book series by Vicki Iovine, Girlfriends was originally developed for Showtime as a half-hour series.
