Hi @LaToya - no rush on this and please don't get back to me until tomorrow, can I have another Fat Joe content piece to post on August 20th please? Thank you!
@Melanie Macias please remove Fat Joe from social ASAP. We have permission for one image that Larry will send to me and the parameters for design. FYI @LaToya
Confirming posts have been removed from LinkedIn, X, FB and IG. Thank you.
The art work sent over by Jose is actually the only approved creative we can use. I'm logging in to my emails to send drop it here.
Oh dang that's a bummer... at least he's sending over something to replace it with!
Total bummer and they want the pastels ☹️
Please post these @Melanie Macias. Larry is asking Ryan to send the original image. These are horrible.
I’ll post them with the approved copy. Thank you!
@LaToya we will need to create a flyer for Larry to distribute at Thurgood Marshall School of Law. Something like what we did for Shree but 1000x better. I'll draft copy tomorrow. Key points are: Fat Joe will be performing Mass Tort Litigation Ben Crump Larry is an alumnae Minority leaders in mass tort litigation
Ryan with Navis is emailing the image tomorrow morning.
I'm done for the day. Have a good night.
@Melanie Macias @LaToya Social Copy: Shades of Mass is elated to announce that Grammy-award-winning legend Fat Joe will be performing on Friday, September 20, 2024. For the third year in a row, Shades of Mass is featuring the best entertainers for the best conference! Come to Shades of Mass and Lean Back with us. We can't wait to see you!
@Melanie Macias please add me back to the Dishowitz and ALG channels 😭
@Melanie Macias please remove Phong Nguyen from any posts moving forward regarding panels. He is unable to attend the conference.
@Melanie Macias Mass Tort Update I - CPAP, Social Media, Bard, Paragard is the only session with all panelist confirmed.
@Adrienne Hester are we good to schedule that tile asap?
@Melanie Macias, I've attached the redlines for you. The copy is approved as we wait for panelist confirmations.
@Melanie Macias Fat Joe is NOT a Grammy Award winner. He's only been nominated a bunch of times. He's won an ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Music Award and a Billboard Latin Music Award. The general copy I wrote says the Grammy winner. Let's edit to award-winning music legend Fat Joe. Thoughts?
sounds good. Thank you @Adrienne Hester
@LaToya Here is a first draft of copy for Larry's flyer. It's copy heavy. I'll edit on Monday.
@Melanie Macias Ryan Mindling's "friendly reminder" for countdown message "Shades of Mass room block at the Marriott Marquis Houston closes on August 26th. After that rooms will be released back to the hotel. They are then able to be booked based on availability and at the prevailing rate (which right now is almost 2x the group rate)." draft the copy however you want.
@Melanie Macias Ben Crump Ben@Bencrump.com, Diandra Fu Debrosse fu@dicellolevitt.com, Brooke Cluse Brooke@bencrump.com - please cc me thanks
@LaToya this is a note to me @Adrienne Hester to update the MailChimp email to Judge Childs to update the deadline from Aug. 12 to "please let us know as soon as possible" and send the invite to destini_murphy@cadc.uscourts.gov
Note to @Adrienne Hester send Fu, Larry, Navan for review: FYI @LaToya
- I'm a Speaker
- Confirmed agenda tiles and copy
- Keynote Tiles
@Melanie Macias, please only use my Shield email for SOM. Thank you.
@LaToya Agenda and Keynote tiles are ready for your review. I am working on the Speaker tiles.
Sounds good! I'm home and set up. I'll be reviewing for you. Let me post the BCL press release first.
Do everything else first please and thank you. I won't be done with these speaker tiles for a minute.
Oh girl it'll take me like 5 minutes to get it posted. 😄
@LaToya the speaker tiles are ready. I included everyone on the spreadsheet so they have them should they confirm.
Thank you I'll check them over and just make sure alignment is fine and such. The IG tile are done. I'll move to the keynote tiles in a few
Thank you!. I'll be working on countdown messages and tiles next.
@LaToya I'm actually going to update judge's letter first
@LaToya it's a draft called Judge Childs 3 SOM Email 8-6-24 (copy 01) - please send to destini_murphy@cadc.uscourts.gov
@Adrienne Hester do you have the first and last name for destini_murphy@cadc.uscourts.gov?
I guess what I'm trying to ask is Destini Murphy her name? It'll be on the email first and last name section
I am going to say yes. The last email went to an assistant she never got it. Hence the change in emails.
I hope so lol I'm sending the letter out in a minute. Just putting in the audience
Mailchimp is being weird. It's not even finding her contact
@Melanie Macias Larry Taylor <ltaylor@cochrantexas.com> Porsha Burns <pburns@cochrantexas.com>
@LaToya my fault. I need to add her. I forgot. Sorry.
It's just not letting me segment her out in my audience
it's so weird because I've been able to do it before
I'm heading home. The major deadline with the countdown message is the hotel room block. It ends in 5 days. I'll create that tonight.
Let it go for tonight so MailChimp can get over it's attitude. We can send it tomorrow.
Okay. I'll work on the other tiles up until I have to leave for Messiah's soccer meetup
@LaToya @Melanie Macias I'm going to make a copy of the Speaker folder and remove the three board members we aren't highlighting and any other unconfirmed speakers and send that zip file for review.
FYI, Darren Miller is an example tile only. I'm removing him from the file. He is not speaking at the conference. My bad @LaToya @Melanie Macias
Hi @Adrienne Hester - please send this plan to Fu and let me know if it approved to schedule out for posting. Thank you! This plan includes: countdown for Fat Joe, for room block, for flights (delta and united), quotes, i am speaker tiles, and agenda.
@Melanie Macias 2023 conference images and videos
Thank you 🙂 I will try to get into his account.

@Melanie Macias, I hope this helps. Can you spruce it up and send it to Meredy for review before Fu/ Larry / Navan, etc.? I am not confident this is locked in, even though Fu said it was. We are thrilled to announce that New Mexico AG Raúl Torrez, committed to upholding justice, will be our keynote speaker at the Friday luncheon. Join us at the Marriott Marquis in Houston, TX, from September 19-21, 2024. Register Now!

Sorry guys I left super quick. It was my son. If yall need anything just slack or text/call me
It's all good! Thank you for everything today. I hope he's okay.
No Problem. I also added Hoffler and Blakely back to the site.
Hold on Maxine. Fu sent over a different image. I'm updating the tiles. I told her this image is only 400x400 pixels and will make her look blurry when enlarged on the tile with the background removed. The other image is 2254x3392 pixels. @LaToya @Melanie Macias
@Melanie Macias Persona presentation you will see tomorrow.
@LaToya Good Morning. These were sent and are 990x990. Do they look blurry to you? Her skin tone looks darker in the firs image. I tried each.
It's not that they're blurry per se but they look graining or overly edited if that makes sense. Like the sharpness and detail tools were used a bit too much.
@Melanie Macias Grammarly offers translation now. Do you speak Spanish? If so, if we translated using Grammarly, would you be able to correct errors?
Hi @Adrienne Hester - I don't feel comfortable translating. My Spanish is not grammatically correct.
@Melanie Macias completely understandable! So many dialects.
We had a translator. We need to find another one.
She's trying to get reinvited to the family gatherings.
@Adrienne Hester Ignore the music because we can add a trending audio in Instagram....but I would like to post this to SOM IG. Should I send it to Fu for approval?
I'm at the doctor. @LaToya can you look at it please? And yes, send yo Fu and team for approval
@Melanie Macias cool video. It's Third Annual Shades of Mass Conference- please capitalize
@Adrienne Hester and @LaToya please see this version. Thank you!
@Melanie Macias, can we post some thank you posts, if you're not already when SOM gets mentioned, please?
I already reshared that on our feed @Adrienne Hester this morning when I saw it come through. Next time, I will be sure to add a thank you message. I am working on other things at the moment.
Thank you and I know you have other work. I appreciate you making the time for this.
She is asking for the Shield Legal Mass tort acquisition logo
Okay we need to update it for LinkedIn header.
She is asking what the Shield Legal tagline is?
Cameron NEVER approved or has even seen that tort acquisition logo. Andy can use it because it's on his personal LinkedIn page.
Andy can do whatever he wants personally. but when it comes to Shield as a business, that is Cameron.
That is why the Shield page is outdated
do we have a videographer for shades? She just asked. @Adrienne Hester
She needs to leave Shades alone. Is she even going? NO. Yes, we are covered.
I'm done with her and I'm not in the room.
@Adrienne Hester can you come here please
she is whack! Anyone who name drops and says what they can do without know the process I can't take seriously. She needs less coffee.
I am listening to her name drop hedgefunds right now
she irritated me the minute she started talking to me
@Melanie Macias I met Ashley in January when she was Director of Events & Branding at Velawcity and something with TortX. She was at that role for 2 years, anyway, she is only 7 months in consulting. She is an afterthought.

Here's a draft for the social media message: We are thrilled to announce that the Honorable Keith Ellison, Attorney General of the State of Minnesota, will be a keynote speaker at the Third Annual Shades of Mass Conference!

@Adrienne Hester FYI @Melanie Macias It's a large image too.... 🙌:skintone4:
I missed most of the judges' panel conversation texting Meredy. Did either of you hear all of it? @Melanie Macias @LaToya
I see he fixed the size of the lanyard so he could put a logo on it.
Put yourself on camera please Melanie when speaking
Following up with Shreedhar to see when he can get us the videos.
Do you want me to ask about the judge's panel?
Okay can you write down the names when they let us know who is speaking>?
I love how Ryan M. didn't acknowledge your comment about the broken image... 🙄
Thank you for writing all that down! I have the original tile scheduled for this Saturday but will remove it and wait for the updated tile.
No. We didn't send emails to Grillo. I can't remember about Gilmore. Those names sound new.
Just saying I'm not impressed with Navis Events. Internally, we can do WAYYYY better than this. Good grief...
I'm on my way once he stops wasting our time.
Is Shree quick to respond @Adrienne Hester?

Third Annual Shades of Mass Conference @Melanie Macias FYI I am updating the Bankruptcy tile. Please unschedule.
Hi @Adrienne Hester and @LaToya - Jose responded letting me know he can't really change the graphic because it is a stock asset, the only way to add more purple would be to color grade the blues to become more purple.
Please see the change below.
Do you prefer the left or right version?
That works. As long as there is less blue.
Great thank you both. I will let him know it works and follow up with Shree on the videos. 🙂
@Melanie Macias Shree's cell. I text to let him know I sent an email

@LaToya Branding Retrospective this is what we will be working on/ looking at, etc.
Thoughts on this tile for Spades for Justice? @LaToya @Adrienne Hester
@Melanie Macias, let me know if you have any edits to this message. If not, I will send it to Meredy for review and the team for approval so you can enjoy your weekend.

This looks good @Adrienne Hester thank you!
Once they approve, I’ll schedule for Thursday
Hi @Adrienne Hester - Meredy approved via text. I will schedule these after I send an email to Fu + team letting them know I am moving forward with scheduling.
@Adrienne Hester could you add me to the on-site registration canva project? Please and thank you!
@Melanie Macias see the email response I just added you to, thanks.
@Adrienne Hester please forward me the full thread. I don't understand the request from Fu. Thank you!
disregard the ask. I understand now and have uploaded the tile @Adrienne Hester
@Melanie Macias please don't thread me in Slack. I hate threads with a passion. @LaToya knows how much I hate them. I lose conversations.
Sounds good @Adrienne Hester thanks for letting me know
Dropping these videos here for you @Adrienne Hester
I just learned this is the same person! If these people don't start updating their headshots!!! @LaToya @Melanie Macias
@Melanie Macias we forgot to get a group image. You'll need to be creative. I'll tell you the menu items on Monday. https://pappasbros.com/home/
@Melanie Macias something for Andy and social media addiction quoting Previn a SOM board member https://www.postandcourier.com/moultrie-news/moultrie-news/news/motley-rice-comments-on-ig-child-safety-changes/article_fc25505e-7550-11ef-9ed2-1b0b427f9afa.html
@Adrienne Hester I have the social media report complete. Would you like me to upload it to the Google doc or do you want me to send it in a Microsoft word doc here in slack?
Awesome. Please send it here. @Melanie Macias
@Adrienne Hester this is what I found in drives that you had sent me. Please let me know if you need anything else.
@Adrienne Hester - I revised my hashtag section to the Google doc. Thank you.
@Melanie Macias Hi. Please edit the LinkedIn post. Beasley Allen isn't a sponsor. Navan works there and is a board member. Thanks.
@Melanie Macias @LaToya Here is the link to the supply order form https://forms.monday.com/forms/d5358aec03a138306ef3c817ca18a113?r=use1
I pinned it so it'll always be linked at the top just in case.
Here you go :) https://elegancecreations.pixieset.com/shadesofmassn2024/
@Melanie Macias @LaToya I sent a message to the LOSG FB page and Julie received the message Joe text me. She said she removed herself. If that is the case, then how did she receive the message? I mean COME. ON. 😩
@Adrienne Hester she texted me and said she removed herself from their FB accounts.
FB doesn't let you do that. There has to be one person attached to the page.
If she wasn't connected she wouldn't get the message.
@Melanie Macias please tell Joe. I did, but you're the expert.
Lol sorry guys I thought that would help. But im also no expert at this. Figured I'd pass along what she said though lol
I’ll speak with Joe @Adrienne Hester and @LaToya
No need to apologize. I learned by doing. I didn't know before I tried to remove myself as an admin from one of my community group pages I managed a few years ago.
@Melanie Macias we can let this go until Monday.
Good morning ladies, could you please bring any extra portable battery packs for charging? Thank you! See you in a bit @Adrienne Hester @LaToya
I'll bring one. If Adrienne has one too that would also help just in case!
@LaToya I am upstairs at my workstation
I'll be there shortly. I'm just getting these kids situated before heading out
@Melanie Macias @LaToya I'm wearing jeans, sneakers, t-shirt and a smart/upscalecbusiness jacket tomorrow.
I’ll do the same @Adrienne Hester @LaToya
Sharing this reel I created @Adrienne Hester
Oh my! This is SOOOO CUTE @Melanie Macias Thank you so much!
