Courageous. Honest. Honorable. Kymberlee Weil A.K.A. Strategic Samurai embodies all the traits of a Samurai and is a role model for women and men alike. Whether she's training in Hapkido, speaking at a seminar, or producing a TEDx event, she kicks some serious butt! She held a workshop here that was an action-packed speaker training experience.
Santa Barbara's online newspaper, Noozhawk came to the loft recently, to do a piece on our switch from 240 Studio to The Narrative Loft. We transitioned to be a more event friendly venue and they wanted to highlight that.
The doors at 240 STUDIO are almost always bursting at the seams with creative and energetic ideas. Some come to fruition and others end up on the cutting room floor. One innovative idea, created by Alisa Wilcox, owner of Social Status Media (240's go-to Social Media experts), went into action this week and found its audience with local Santa Barbara business owners.
Social Status Media is a Santa Barbara Social Media Management firm that has recently implemented a training division to help business owners sift through the ever-changing rules and endless strategies of Social Media Marketing.
The workshop was held at Workzones, a co-working space that houses an extensive group of entrepreneurial wizards and small businesses in need of a productive environment, weekly birthday celebrations and, quite possibly, the most impressive coffee machine known to man.
The course covered the Basics and Best Practices of using Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to connect with new customers. Students learned tips and tricks and then put their skills into action with creative posts and impromptu photo sessions. At the request of attendees and many who could not attend, this workshop will be repeated.
Alisa has a staff of Social Media wizards who execute Social Media Strategies with precision and speed. The Social Status Media Director of Barketing, Baxter Wilcox, keeps spirits and productivity up with his waggily tail and infectious smile.

The holidays are upon us... and so are the holiday parties! As you know, 240's alter ego is "event venue" and we are very excited to be hosting several holiday parties this year. Christmas lights against the warm woodwork in this studio give it a magical glow - perfect for getting in the holiday spirit. Add a little music and the scent of eggnog and baked goods and you will seriously forget that it's 70 degrees outside and there isn't a snowflake in sight.
The Santa Barbara Region Chamber of Commerce has been incredibly helpful to our growing business, so when they approached us about throwing a holiday party for their loyal advertisers at our studio, of course we were thrilled! While the theme is Holiday Cheer, the party will also be celebrating the release of the 2012 Membership Directory - a must-have business resource.
We hope to see all you smart advertisers here on DECEMBER 1ST! (Preferably with bells on)
Cheers!
