Miss Lori says being a M.O.M. is a project she’s been cast in for life

YouTube Preview ImageMy name is Miss Lori and I’m a MOM; A Merrily Optimistic Multi-Tasker, who when life hits her square between the eyes can flip over and become “A Weary Overwhelmed Woman,” (W.O.W.). I’m a real Miss Lori, I don’t just play one on TV. (I have a purse full of fruit snacks and autograph cards to prove it!)

In addition I leverage my celebrity to strengthen bonds between brands and consumers using my own design of “Marketainment”.  At the same time I’m the mother of 3 beautiful children grappling with a failed economy and a flawed marriage. Some days have started standing in line at the Department of Health and Social Services, and ended dipping chocolate covered strawberries in champagne with fellow bloggers and brand reps.

Part of that was because I didn’t believe that I truly had something to offer, from a marketing stand point. But what I have gained more than anything from my time spent in the blogosphere is a clearer sense of marketing, social media and most importantly myself. I’m not just a performer who blogs a little. I am”marketainer”. [Read more...]
