I hope Tension Four.0 gets initiated soon

[MikeParticipant]

Tension 1.0 for me started in February. It’s now July. That’s 5 months of promoting and marketing and excitement. Will ticket sales still start on July 15th? If so, what is your marketing and business plan to convince those of us who have been around that this new version will be better, worth promoting, and worth buying a ticket to? You have 2 weeks to change A LOT of minds.

[MikeParticipant]

Could you give a brief history of Plan Publicity? Any other clients we could check out? If we are going into a new direction, I’d like to see other campaigns done and if they were successful.

[MikeParticipant]

Does Tension 2.0 have to do with “simple arithmetic?

[MikeParticipant]

Hello and thank you for taking the time to answer questions. Here are a few to start with

You said the creators are let go, but what about the other “behind the scenes characters”?

Is this because of the whistle blowing?

You wrote an email to Clockmaker9 – what does Plan B entail and who is “her” that you still hold out hope for?

Are you part of this PR company or are you part of the Oracles Security and Data Management as your email signature says?

What happened in phase 3 of ’84?

[MikeParticipant]

I wonder if this is Plan B…and it’s just a smokescreen

[MikeParticipant]

Sounds like a knee jerk reaction to the whistleblowing

[MikeParticipant]

Looking back on this..the letter was initially hidden on 6/27 – the same day as this press release – http://investors.reachlocal.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=977250

It says that a company called Gannett is acquiring ReachLocal (RLOC). Now, if you look into Gannett – they own USA Today as well as a lot of other newspaper/media around the country.

This rabbit hole keeps going deeper!

[MikeParticipant]

Just realized no one brought up anything about the name of the jpeg…”Peace”.

Seems like an odd thing to name a picture based on what’s currently happening with III and Four. It seems like they’re going to war.

Possible meanings:
Since the image is of Addison, maybe she’s at “peace”. Her face does look kind of…blank?
Four is asking us for “peace” – As in, stop attacking III, she has a plan in place?
Someone is saying “peace” as in “Peace out!” and maybe Addison is leaving? Could that go along with “I’m ready”?

I know Morgan is sure that this is her, but I seem to remember her looking a little bit different at the mixer. I didn’t really have a long conversation with her, but this image looks…different. Thinner/longer face perhaps? Can anyone else that was at the mixer give their thoughts?

[MikeParticipant]

Hope everything is ok and nothing has gone off script! Looking forward to speaking with you again

[MikeParticipant]

Now there will be more than just phone calls to make you terrified!

[MikeParticipant]

Understood about the leaked email. That explains the non answers to those questions, I can buy that, but what about “You said the creators are let go, but what about the other “behind the scenes characters”?”

Also, as far as thoughts as 2.0, it’s hard to say. I have VERY MUCH enjoyed 1.0, the people I’ve met, the Gatekeepers, and everyone involved. Here’s the thing, if this is marketing, they have done their job and gotten many people interested. Remember, you’re marketing this to us, and to change it in the middle when people are getting interested, might be the wrong move. It was working for us, the end consumer, even if it wasn’t working for you.

[MikeParticipant]

@jeromy had a good theory about Tension being a marketing tool for the OOA. So the OOA is the big machine behind it all. So if we think of it like that, maybe they’re not happy with the marketing direction and are starting over.

[MikeParticipant]

the logo looks like it’s 2 OOA logos put together/mirrored. Obviously some things are out of place (like the anchor), but you can see what they’re doing

[MikeParticipant]

@111error – Makes sense, I hope it’s not a goodbye. She’s way too important to everyone involved!

@lukasrl – I like that theory too! This could go so many ways!
