Native American activists under attack via cancel culture say they hope to stop woke efforts today from obliterating wide swaths of United States heritage and history.  

The Kansas City Chiefs and the Boy Scouts of America both appear to be erasing traces of their Native American heritage, according to activists and to the evidence as well. 

Also, America’s most famous Chiefs fan right now, Taylor Swift, is being hailed by some as the great woke hope who can force the franchise to cave to charges of racism and end its “tomahawk chop” chant.

Not in Our Honor, a Kansas City-based group, said it was “hopeful” that Swift would be an “ally” in their effort to force the team to end the tradition, according to media reports during the football season. 

The legacy of popular Kansas City, Missouri mayor and Arapaho tribal member Harold Roe “Chief” Bartle could be obliterated in the fallout. He is a foundational figure in the history of both the Chiefs and the Boy Scouts — at least until he’s canceled, American Indians fear. 

“It’s a woke firing squad looking to tear everything down by telling us that Native Americans and Americans need to be divided,” social media influencer Maurice the Native Patriot (@lanativepatriot), a Swinomish Indian from Washington state, told Fox News Digital in an interview last week.

“It’s become popular to think that even seeing a Native American image is racist.”

Bartle was mayor of Kansas City in the 1960s, when the AFL’s Dallas Texans moved to town. The team was renamed in honor of his efforts to land the franchise, according to the team website and many other sources. Bartle also spent much of his life in the service of the Boy Scouts. He was a champion of civil rights, according to several biographies, as well as devoted to Native American heritage. But his multicultural legacy is in jeopardy now as both the Chiefs and the Scouts are distancing themselves from their Native American roots. 

“Native American history is American history,” Tony Henson, the executive director of the Native American Guardians Association (NAGA), headquartered in North Dakota, told Fox News Digital.

“This effort to divide us comes from the ‘hate-America’ Marxist crowd that wants to tear down tradition and rebuild the United States in their own image,” Henson said. 

Yet the Boy Scouts are “looking to remove all Native American aspects of the program,” one Pennsylvania troop leader wrote in an e-mail obtained by Fox News Digital.

The troop is also said to be scrambling to create a new insignia to replace “a Native American chief/brave logo” that it’s been using “for over 60 years” to meet what the letter claims is a new directive from the Boy Scouts of America. 

Fox News Digital reached out to the organization, which refuted those claims. “There is no national mandate from the BSA to remove all Native American imagery from the Scouting program,” Scott Armstrong, national spokesperson for the Boy Scouts of America, told Fox News Digital in response.

He said local Boy Scouts troops may have “misinterpreted” guidance about dialogue with local First Nations leaders. 

“The goal is proper respect, not removal,” said Armstrong.

John Edward Robinson, Sr., a.k.a. "The Slave Master". The First Internet Killer

Robinson was born in Cicero, Illinois. He started attending trade school to study radiology. Though he only spent two years there and didn't finish his training, he was still able to get a job as an X-ray technician at a children's hospital in Kansas City, Missouri by forging credentials. Though Robinson was convicted of theft, fraud, and embezzlement several times between 1969 and 1991, he was able to work for charitable organizations and as a civic leader. In 1977, working for a handicapped service organization, he managed to get on its board of directors and created a "Man of the Year" award as his first action and awarded it to himself.

When it was covered by the media, several people realized that Robinson had forged their recommendations. The press spent two weeks exposing Robinson as the fraud he was, though only his wife and children seemed to suffer. Robinson is suspected to have committed his first murder in 1984 when he hired 19-year-old Paula Godfrey to work as a sales representative for two shell companies he had made in order to create fake credentials for himself. After Robinson allegedly sent her away for some training, she was never seen again.

In 1983, Robinson's crimes escalated. His brother, Don Robinson, and his wife, Helen, had unsuccessfully been trying to conceive and formally adopt a child. Claiming to have connections in the adoption business, Robinson started looking for single pregnant women who could provide a child, presumably to enter the black market adoption business. Because he wasn't able to get any referrals from social services, he went directly to the source and approached 19-year-old Lisa Stasi, the single mother of a four-month-old baby, Tiffany, at a battered women's shelter in January of 1985. Using the name "Josh Osborne", he convinced her that he would take her into a training program in Texas that included daycare and job training. On January 9, he came to the home of Stasi's sister and picked up Tiffany. The next day, Stasi's family got a phone call in which a terrified-sounding Stasi said "they" had deemed her an unfit mother and that her mother, Betty, had said she wanted the baby. The last her family heard from Lisa were the words "here they come" over the phone before it was disconnected. No one saw or had any contact with Lisa after that. Two days later, Robinson handed Tiffany over to his brother along with forged legal documents about the adoption that claimed the child's mother had committed suicide. The same day, Stasi's family filed a missing persons report. Robinson was investigated on suspicion of violating the Mann Act, which originally prohibited white slavery and transportation of women across state lines for "immoral purposes". This was then changed to the word "immoral" was narrowed down to prostitution and other illegal sexual acts, such as sending Stasi and Godfrey over state lines for work. As Robinson's probation was re-evaluated, he became a major player in the underground sex industry, involved in S&M-related prostitution.

The FBI sent in a female undercover agent to pose as a potential prostitute for Robinson, but became so concerned that her life was in danger and pulled her out. An important witness in Robinson's trial for violating his probation was a prostitute named Teresa who worked for him and who was also his mistress. Robinson had threatened Teresa by sticking the barrel of a loaded gun into her vagina after she displeased a client. Teresa she was then taken into safe custody and Robinson was unable to face his accuser in court, thereby ending the proceedings in his favor. Not long afterwards, in 1987, he went to prison on a theft conviction and wasn't released until 1993. After his release, Robinson discovered the internet, which gave him access to all kinds of BDSM-related chat rooms and contact pages. Using the nickname "Slavemaster", he used the technology to gain access to many of his victims which lead him to being the first serial killer to use the internet to hunt for victims. In the meantime, his wife supported the family by taking a job as the manager of the trailer park the family had been forced to move into after losing their suburban home. Robinson's first victim during this period was Beverly Bonner, a prison librarian, whom Robinson seduced and convinced to leave her husband. After their divorce, Robinson got her to move to Olathe, promising to give her a job at one of his ventures. She disappeared almost immediately, but not before signing over her alimony checks to Robinson. Robinson continued to cash Bonner's checks, and when questioned by her former husband, told him that she had moved to Australia.

In 1994, he made contact with a woman named Sheila Faith on a social networking site. Faith's daughter, Debbie, was confined to a wheelchair. Promising to give her work and provide medical care for her daughter, Robinson convinced Faith to move to Kansas City, where he killed both mother and daughter and began cashing Faith's pension checks. In 1997, Robinson met Polish immigrant Izabela Lewicka at a BDSM contact site. She then dropped out of community college and moved in with Robinson. She then agreed to become a submissive for him and to become an intern at a non-existent publishing business he told her he ran. She signed a 115-year slave contract which gave Robinson possession of all of her belongings including her bank accounts. In 1999, Robinson killed Lewicka. Robinson's last known victim was Suzette Trouten, another submissive at a BDSM site who worked as a nurse during the day. Robinson convinced her to work for him as a caregiver for his elderly father. After agreeing to the job, Touten moved to Kansas and soon disappeared. To cover it up, Robinson sent her mother several type-written letters, all of which were written using much better spelling than Touten usually used, and were post-marked in Kansas.

By 1999, Robinson had become careless about covering his tracks and had attracted the attention of authorities in both Kansas and Missouri as a result of all of the missing person reports that were linked to him somehow. For some weeks after killing Suzette Trouten, he hijacked her email account and kept in touch with some of her online friends to keep up the appearance of her being alive, though the bluff wasn't hard to see through. One of the friends, a woman named Lore, started investigating Robinson, who went by "J.R. Turner" in his communication with them. He also began an online relationship with a laid-off psychiatrist named Vickie, who could very well have become his next victim. By then, the authorities were investigating Robinson. In the spring of 2000, Robinson wired some money to Vickie and arranged a meeting with her in a motel in Overland Park. Staked out in the next room, law enforcement officers heard Robinson force her into rougher sex than Vickie had agreed to (though they weren't aware of how badly she was treated at the time), making him guilty of sexual battery. After he was finished, Robinson left her alone in the room for days. He then sent her back to Texas, keeping the $700 worth of sex toys she had brought with her. Not long afterwards, Robinson repeated the process with Jeanna, an unemployed accountant from Texas, and left her behind as well. Out of fear, she contacted the police.

When Vickie also came forward and the 30-man Robinson task force found out that he had been seducing a woman from Tennessee and had convinced her to come to him and bring her 8-year-old daughter and the deed to her car, they secured an arrest warrant. On June 2, 2000, they raided his mobile home and found five chemical barrels, each of which contained one of Robinson's victims. Though the bodies of Lisa Stasi and Paula Godfrey were never found, the authorities did find evidence linking Robinson to them was as well as proof that he had sold Stasi's daughter to his brother. They also found blood in the apartment Lewicka had stayed in while she was in a slave relationship with Robinson. He was charged with the murders of Trouten, Lewicka, and Stasi, the first two of which would be punishable by death, and the kidnapping of Stasi's baby as well as dozens of fraud and forgery charges. He was ultimately found guilty and sentenced to death as well as life in prison for Stasi's murder. Afterwards, he confessed to his additional five murders. He is currently on death row at the El Dorado Correctional Facility in Kansas waiting for his sentence to be carried out.

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

August 12, 2023

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

In Marion, Kansas, yesterday morning, four local police officers and three sheriff’s deputies raided the office of the Marion County Record newspaper; the home of its co-owners, Eric Meyer and his 98 year old mother, Joan Meyer; and the home of Marion vice mayor Ruth Herbel, 80. They seized computers, cell phones, and other equipment. Joan Meyer was unable to eat or sleep after the raid; she collapsed Saturday afternoon and died at her home.

The search warrant alleged there was probable cause to believe the newspaper, its owners, or the vice mayor had committed identity theft and unlawful computer acts against restaurant owner Kari Newell, but Magistrate Laura Viar appears to have issued that warrant without any affidavit of wrongdoing on which to base it. Sherman Smith, Sam Bailey, Rachel Mipro, and Tim Carpenter of the nonprofit news service Kansas Reflector reported that federal law protects journalists from search and seizure and requires law enforcement instead to subpoena materials they want.

On August 2, Newell had thrown Meyer and a Marion County Record reporter out of a meeting with U.S. Representative Jake LaTurner (R-KS), and the paper had run a story on the incident. Newell had complained on her personal Facebook page, 

On August 7, Newell publicly accused the newspaper of illegally getting information about a drunk-driving charge against her and giving it to Herbel. Eric Meyer says the information—which was accurate—was sent to him and Herbel over social media and that he decided not to publish it out of concerns it was leaked to help Newell’s estranged husband in divorce proceedings. Those same concerns made him take the story to local police. Newell accused the newspaper of violating her rights and called Meyer to accuse him of identity theft.

Meyer told journalist Marisa Kabas of The Handbasket that the paper was also investigating the new police chief for sexual misconduct, and he noted that the identities of people making those allegations are on the computers that got seized. “I may be paranoid that this has anything to do with it,” Meyer told Kabas, “but when people come and seize your computer, you tend to be a little paranoid.”  

On Friday, Newell wrote on her Facebook page: “Journalists have become the dirty politicians of today, twisting narrative for bias agendas, full of muddied half-truths…. We rarely get facts that aren’t baited with misleading insinuations.” 

Meyer worked at the Milwaukee Journal for 20 years and then taught journalism at the University of Illinois, retiring from there. He doesn’t take a salary from the Marion County Record. He told Kabas, “I’m doing this because I believe that newspapers still have a place in the world and that the worst thing that a newspaper could do was shrink its reporting staff, stop reporting, fill itself with non-news when there’s still news out there. And if you do a good job of providing news, you will get readers…. [W]e’re doing this because we care about the community.” 

He said he worries that people are afraid to participate in politics because “there’s gonna be consequences and they’re going to be negative.” 

The Marion County Record will sue the city and the individuals involved in the raid, which, the paper wrote in its coverage, “legal experts contacted were unanimous in saying violated multiple state and federal laws, including the U.S. Constitution, and multiple court rulings.” “Our first priority is to be able to publish next week,” Meyer said, “but we also want to make sure no other news organization is ever exposed to the Gestapo tactics we witnessed today. We will be seeking the maximum sanctions possible under law.” 

Executive director of the Kansas Press Association Emily Bradbury noted “An attack on a newspaper office through an illegal search is not just an infringement on the rights of journalists but an assault on the very foundation of democracy and the public’s right to know. This cannot be allowed to stand.”

Americans have taken up this cause before. In 1836 the House of Representatives passed a resolution preventing Congress from taking up any petition, memorial, resolution, proposition, or paper relating “in any way, or to any extent whatsoever, to the subject of slavery or the abolition of slavery.” This “gag rule” outraged antislavery northerners. Rather than quieting their objections to enslavement, they increased their discussion of slavery and stood firm on their right to those discussions. 

In that same year, newspaperman Elijah P. Lovejoy, who had been publishing antislavery articles in the St. Louis Observer, decided to move from the slave state of Missouri across the Mississippi River to Alton, Illinois. He suggested to his concerned neighbors that his residence in a free state would enable him to write more about religion than about slavery. But, he added in a statement to them, “As long as I am an American citizen, and as long as American blood runs in these veins, I shall hold myself at liberty to speak, to write and to publish whatever I please, being amenable to the laws of my country for the same.”

Lovejoy became a symbol of the freedom of the press.

When “a committee of five citizens” in Alton, appointed by “a public meeting,” asked Lovejoy if he intended to print sentiments to which they objected, he refused to “admit that the liberty of the press and freedom of speech, were rightfully subject to other supervision and control, than [the laws of] the land.” He reminded them that “‘the liberty of our forefathers has given us the liberty of speech,’ and that it is ‘our duty and high privilege, to act and speak on all questions touching this great commonwealth.’” “[E]very thing having a tendency to bring this right into jeopardy, is eminently dangerous as a precedent,” he said. 

Popular pressure had proved unable to make Lovejoy stop writing, and on August 21, 1837, a mob drove off the office staff of the Alton Observer by throwing rocks through the windows. Then, as soon as the staff had fled, the mob broke into the newspaper’s office and destroyed the press and all the type. 

On August 24, Lovejoy asked his supporters to help him buy another press. They did. But no sooner had it arrived than a gang of ten or twelve “ruffians” broke into the warehouse where it had been stored for the night and threw it into the river. 

When yet another press arrived in early November, Lovejoy had it placed in a warehouse on the riverbank. That night, about thirty men attacked the building, demanding the press be handed over to them. The men inside refused and fired into the crowd, wounding some of the attackers. The mob pulled back but then returned with ladders that enabled them to set fire to the building’s roof. When Lovejoy stepped out of the building to see where the attackers were hiding, a man shot him dead. As the rest of the men in the warehouse ran to safety, the mob rushed into the building and threw the press out of the window. It broke to pieces when it hit the shore, and the men threw the pieces into the Mississippi River.

But the story did not end there. Elijah Lovejoy’s younger brother, Owen, saw Elijah shot. "I shall never forsake the cause that has been sprinkled with my brother's blood," he declared. He and another brother wrote the Memoir of Elijah P. Lovejoy, impressing on readers the importance of what they called “liberty of the press” in the discussion of public issues. 

Owen then turned to politics, and in 1854 he was elected to the Illinois state legislature to stand against those southerners who had silenced his brother. The following year, voters elected him to Congress. His increasing prominence brought him political friends, including an up-and-coming lawyer who had arrived in Illinois from Kentucky by way of Indiana, Abraham Lincoln.

[dontmeantobepoliticalbut]

Kansas City, Missouri is now a “sanctuary city” for trans people following a 12-1 vote by the Kansas City Council to declare itself one. The move comes in response to the state’s Republican-led legislature passing two bills aimed at limiting the rights of transgender Missourians.

As the Associated Press reports, on Wednesday, Republican lawmakers sent two bills to Missouri Gov. Mike Parson (R). One would ban gender-affirming healthcare like puberty blockers and hormone therapy for trans youth as well as some adults. The other bans trans athletes from participating in girls’ and women’s sports at all grade levels and in college at both private and public schools. Parson is expected to sign both bills.

In response, the Kansas City Council on Thursday voted 12 to 1 to approve a resolution to declare the city a sanctuary for people seeking or providing gender-affirming care. As a result, city officials will not prosecute or fine individuals or organizations under the state’s new anti-trans laws. City staff are also instructed to make enforcing the ban on gender-affirming care “their lowest priority.” The Kansas City Police Department has also been encouraged to adopt a similar policy, The Los Angeles Blade reports.

“Kansas City government is committed to ensuring Kansas City is a welcoming, inclusive, and safe place for everyone, including our transgender and LGBTQ+ community. After the Missouri state legislature introduced several bills criminalizing access to gender-affirming healthcare across Missouri, I am proud City Council took action and approved the ‘safe haven’ resolution to take steps, within our legal power, to protect our transgender community and anyone seeking gender-affirming care,” Mayor Quinton Lucas (D) said. “For decades, Kansas City has been at the forefront of our region, ensuring we have equality for all, and we will continue to do everything in our power to fight for equal rights for all in our city, no matter what happens at our state capitol.”

Councilwoman Andrea Bough, the resolution’s sponsor, said that the measure was a reiteration of Kansas City’s commitment to diversity and inclusion.

“As a woman and a mother, I strongly feel that personal health care decisions should be reserved for individuals, families, and their physicians without influence from politicians,” Bough said. “Public service should be about helping the community not harming individuals. Today we are proclaiming to our transgender and LGBTQ community that you are safe with us.”

The city’s LGBTQ Commission previously sent a letter to city council members urging them to pass legislation to make Kansas City a “safe haven” for transgender people, following an “emergency regulation” issued by Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey (R) in April to severely restrict access to gender-affirming healthcare in the state.

The rule would require both minors and adults in Missouri to receive 15 hourly sessions with a therapist over at least 18 months before receiving gender-affirming care such as hormone therapy or puberty blockers. They would also have to be screened for autism and “social media addiction,” and any mental health issues would have to be treated and resolved before they would be eligible for treatment for gender dysphoria.

Critics described the move as a “power grab” by Bailey, who is campaigning for reelection. A Missouri judge temporarily blocked the rule late last month.

It's A Revolution

Professional sports have long been available for free viewing, either on cable, satellite, or over-the-air. Of course, league blackout rules apply in certain places, and there are season pass options available for die hard fans. The gist of it is that watching the game, whatever it may be, has been of the people and for the people.

But that is slowly changing. In 2021, Amazon signed on for 11 seasons of Thursday Night Football, and has effectively added one more day of the week to fans’ football-watching activities. Well, as long as you have Amazon Prime, know a friend who does and doesn’t mind you crashing there, or can find it at a sports bar. Otherwise, you’re out of luck.

AppleTV+ has dibs on Major League Soccer, which proved to be a huge win for Apple last year when Messi started playing for Miami. It’s an upgrade to the standard AppleTV+ subscription, but some games are shared across the AppleTV+ platform for the basic subscribers.

And now we come to the latest: Peacock, owned by NBCUniversal, carried this last Saturday’s playoff game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins, and based on the data, it was the “most-streamed live event in US history.” Some 23 million viewers turned in, of which 16.3 million were logged in to Peacock. The remaining seven million were viewers in the KC and Miami markets, as well as subscribers to the NFL+ mobile app.

But the superlatives don’t stop there. The game also practically choked the internet, accounting for 30% of all web bandwidth during the game. It was the “most internet usage ever in the US on a single date.” Take that, Netflix.

So what’s the problem, you ask? Well, there was a huge outpouring of negativity on social media, because some viewers felt like they were being extorted for $5.99 a month to sign up for Peacock (which, of course, they could cancel at any time). And some lawmakers are concerned as well, because…you know…that’s not how we have always done it.

We may see a court battle or two over this, but I suspect the ship is sailing, and we will now begin to see ever more professional sports on subscription streaming services. And with good reason, because pro sports is about the only reason people watch linear television these days. OK, maybe the evening news, but I have already digested all of the day’s news online long before the 10pm showing. When you consider that 93 out of the top 100 broadcast programs last year were NFL games, you see the magnitude of this.

Think about it. The only content with a shelf life of not more than a few hours is sports and the news. Who wants to watch yesterday’s football game, or last night’s newscast? I’ll wait. And we’ll all happily wait to watch everything else on our own schedule, whether by DVR or streaming on demand.

It’s just that, as we continue to cut the ties that bound us to all those legacy media outlets, the new model is all about streaming. While there is much consolidation going on—that’s a topic for a future blog—it also means there will be more resources among the surviving conglomerates to do what Peacock just did, and what Amazon has been doing. Exclusive rights cost big money, but with that many eyeballs, it is well worth the price. Advertisers love it, and so does any company with the rights.

For consumers, it signifies a continuation of the drift away from legacy outlets, and toward the streamers. I know. The prices and bundling options available these days are beginning to look a lot like that which we left behind with cable and satellite, but that’s how it goes. Orwell noted that tendency in Animal Farm. The Wheel of Retailing Theory says the same. A revolution eventually begins to look a lot like that which it sought to replace.

And if you want to watch pro sports in the future, I am betting heavily that you’ll have to join the revolution. Or find a friend who has. Just be sure to bring food and beverage.

Brand Activation Agency in Missouri

Brand Activation Agency in Missouri: Elevating Your Brand to New Heights

In the fast-paced world of marketing, building a brand that resonates with customers and creates a lasting impression is crucial. Traditional advertising methods can only take a brand so far, but brand activation takes it to the next level by fostering direct engagement between a business and its audience. For companies in Missouri, working with a brand activation agency can help build strong connections with customers and increase brand awareness.

This article explores what brand activation is, why it's important, and how a brand activation agency in Missouri can drive your business’s success.

What is Brand Activation?

Brand activation refers to the process of bringing a brand to life by creating experiences and interactions that allow customers to engage directly with it. Unlike traditional marketing, which focuses on delivering a message, brand activation focuses on creating experiences that prompt an emotional response and increase customer loyalty.

Brand activation campaigns typically include a mix of in-person and digital events that aim to engage customers, encourage participation, and spark word-of-mouth marketing. These experiences can range from experiential marketing events to product sampling, interactive campaigns, and social media contests.

The ultimate goal of brand activation is to make your brand memorable, increase consumer awareness, and create positive associations that lead to long-term customer relationships.

Why Brand Activation is Crucial for Businesses in Missouri

Missouri is home to a diverse and thriving business environment, ranging from small local businesses to large enterprises. With competition across industries growing, standing out in the marketplace requires more than just good products and services—it requires building meaningful connections with your audience.

Here’s why brand activation is particularly important for businesses in Missouri:

1. Boosting Local Brand Awareness

Missouri’s vibrant cities, such as St. Louis, Kansas City, and Springfield, provide a variety of opportunities for businesses to engage with local communities. Brand activation campaigns can help companies build local recognition by tapping into the unique culture and preferences of their target audiences in different regions of the state.

2. Creating Memorable Experiences

Brand activation goes beyond traditional advertising methods by focusing on interactive experiences. Whether through pop-up events, street marketing, or live demonstrations, these campaigns allow customers to directly interact with your brand in a way that leaves a lasting impression. This emotional connection increases brand recall and drives loyalty.

3. Driving Customer Engagement

Consumers today want to engage with brands that offer more than just products—they want to experience the brand’s values and personality. By incorporating customer engagement strategies, brand activation campaigns make your audience feel like a part of the brand. This is especially important in Missouri’s customer-centric business environment, where word-of-mouth marketing and personal connections are key to success.

4. Enhancing Customer Loyalty

Brand activation allows companies to engage customers on a deeper level, creating opportunities for long-term relationships. By creating unique experiences that resonate with the audience, businesses can convert first-time customers into loyal brand advocates.

Services Offered by Brand Activation Agencies in Missouri

A brand activation agency in Missouri offers a variety of services to help businesses engage with their target audiences and make lasting impressions. From strategy development to campaign execution, these agencies provide the expertise needed to design experiences that capture attention and drive results.

Here are some of the services offered by brand activation agencies in Missouri:

1. Experiential Marketing

Experiential marketing is at the heart of brand activation. Agencies in Missouri specialize in creating immersive and interactive experiences that allow customers to engage with your brand. This can include live events, product demos, pop-up shops, and experiential stunts that generate buzz and encourage participation.

2. Event Marketing

Event marketing is a powerful tool for brand activation, as it allows brands to interact directly with consumers in a physical space. Whether it’s a sponsored community event, festival, or trade show, marketing agencies in Missouri can help plan and execute events that put your brand front and center.

3. Digital Activation Campaigns

In addition to in-person events, brand activation agencies also create digital campaigns designed to engage audiences online. These campaigns can include social media contests, influencer marketing, and interactive content like quizzes or polls that prompt consumers to interact with your brand in meaningful ways.

4. Sampling Campaigns

Product sampling is another effective brand activation strategy. By giving consumers the chance to try your product firsthand, you can generate excitement and word-of-mouth marketing. Many Missouri-based brand activation agencies offer services to organize and execute sampling events that target specific demographics.

5. Pop-Up Shops

Pop-up shops are temporary retail locations that give brands an opportunity to connect with consumers in a unique, engaging setting. Brand activation agencies can help design and set up pop-up shops that allow customers to experience your brand in a new and exciting way.

6. Street Marketing

Street marketing involves reaching customers directly in public spaces. Brand activation agencies in Missouri can create eye-catching, interactive marketing campaigns that capture attention and get people talking about your brand.

The Role of a Brand Activation Agency in Missouri

Brand activation agencies in Missouri are experts in creating marketing campaigns that leave a lasting impact on consumers. Here’s how they can help your business grow:

1. Strategic Planning

Before launching a brand activation campaign, agencies conduct in-depth research to understand your target audience and market. They use this information to create a strategy that aligns with your brand’s goals, values, and the preferences of your audience.

2. Creative Campaign Development

Brand activation agencies bring a fresh perspective to campaign development. They leverage creativity to design unique experiences that stand out from the competition and engage your target audience. From concept creation to visual design and messaging, agencies handle all aspects of campaign development.

3. Campaign Execution

Executing a brand activation campaign requires meticulous planning and coordination. Whether it’s a live event or a digital campaign, agencies manage the logistics, resources, and execution to ensure the campaign runs smoothly and achieves its objectives.

4. Measuring Success

Measuring the success of a brand activation campaign is essential for determining its effectiveness. Agencies use various metrics, such as engagement rates, social media mentions, and sales conversions, to assess the impact of the campaign and provide insights for future strategies.

How to Choose the Right Brand Activation Agency in Missouri

With so many options available, choosing the right brand activation agency in Missouri can be challenging. Here are some tips to help you make the right choice:

1. Industry Experience

Look for an agency with experience working in your industry. This ensures they understand the challenges and opportunities specific to your business and can develop strategies that align with your goals.

2. Creative Approach

Brand activation is all about creativity and innovation. Choose an agency that offers fresh ideas and a creative approach to campaign development.

3. Local Expertise

4. Proven Track Record

Review the agency’s past campaigns and case studies to see how successful they’ve been in creating effective brand activations. Testimonials from previous clients can also provide valuable insight into the agency’s capabilities.

Conclusion

Partnering with a brand activation agency in Missouri can help your business engage with consumers in unique and meaningful ways.

The Rise of App Companies in Kansas City: Why You Should Partner with Local Developers

In today’s technology-driven world, mobile apps have become essential for businesses of all sizes. Whether you're a startup or an established company, having a custom app can enhance your operations and customer engagement. Kansas City is home to a number of top app companies that specialize in building unique and functional mobile applications. These companies not only develop apps but also provide ongoing support, ensuring that your digital presence thrives in the ever-changing tech landscape.

This article will delve into why working with app developers in Kansas City can be a game-changer for your business and how local expertise can streamline your app development process.

Why Mobile Apps Are Essential for Business Growth

Mobile apps have revolutionized how companies interact with their customers. With smartphones becoming more accessible, people now prefer using apps for shopping, banking, social media, and more. This shift has made it crucial for businesses to develop their own mobile applications to stay relevant.

A mobile app can enhance the user experience by providing faster access to services, improving customer retention, and increasing brand visibility. It can also enable businesses to collect valuable data about customer preferences and behavior. For these reasons, investing in app development is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity for businesses aiming for long-term success.

The Advantage of Working with Local App Companies

Choosing to work with app companies in Kansas City offers several benefits. Local developers understand the market trends and customer behavior specific to the Kansas City area. This localized knowledge allows them to create apps that resonate with your target audience and are more likely to succeed.

Additionally, partnering with local developers fosters better communication. Working with a Kansas City-based team means you can meet face-to-face, discuss your vision, and ensure that the app aligns with your business objectives. Local developers also provide more personalized support throughout the app’s lifecycle, from development to updates and maintenance.

What to Look for in Kansas City App Developers

When selecting app developers in Kansas City, there are a few key factors to consider:

Experience and Expertise You want to work with developers who have a proven track record in creating successful apps. Check their portfolio to see the variety of projects they’ve worked on. This will give you insight into their expertise and the industries they have experience with.

Customization Options Every business has unique needs, and your app should reflect that. Look for developers who offer custom solutions tailored to your specific requirements. Whether you need an ecommerce app, a loyalty program, or a booking platform, the right development team will be able to deliver a solution that fits your business.

Post-Launch Support Launching an app is just the beginning. After it goes live, it’s crucial to have a team that provides ongoing support. This includes fixing bugs, rolling out updates, and making improvements based on user feedback.

User-Centric Design A well-designed app prioritizes user experience. It should be intuitive, easy to navigate, and responsive across all devices. Skilled developers will ensure that your app is not only visually appealing but also functional and user-friendly.

Custom Mobile App Solutions Tailored to Your Business

One of the major benefits of working with app companies in Kansas City is the ability to receive custom-built apps that align with your business goals. Custom apps provide the flexibility to incorporate features that meet your specific needs. From integrating payment gateways to enabling push notifications for promotions, custom apps are designed to give your business a competitive edge.

Additionally, these apps are scalable. As your business grows, your app can evolve to include new functionalities without requiring a complete redesign. This flexibility ensures that your app remains relevant as your business needs change.

Why Investing in an App Matters

A mobile app is a long-term investment that pays off in numerous ways. It allows you to stay connected with your customers, keep them engaged, and provide them with a seamless experience. Apps also open up new revenue streams, from in-app purchases to subscription models.

Moreover, having a mobile app boosts your brand’s credibility. Customers expect businesses to have a digital presence, and those without apps may appear outdated. By working with app developers in Kansas City, you’re not only modernizing your business but also ensuring that you stay competitive in a fast-paced market.

Conclusion

Mobile apps have become indispensable tools for businesses in every industry. Partnering with app companies in Kansas City gives you access to local expertise, ensuring that your app resonates with your audience and meets the needs of your business.

The Influence of Emporia on Kansas Politics.

Emporia, Kansas, may seem like an ordinary Midwestern city, but its influence on Kansas politics is significant. With a population hovering around 25,000, Emporia punches above its weight in political clout, largely due to its rich history, strategic location, and engaged citizenry. This article explores the multifaceted influence Emporia exerts on the political landscape of Kansas.

Historical Context

Emporia's political significance can be traced back to its founding in 1857. Located at the crossroads of several major trails and railroads, it quickly became a hub of economic and social activity. Emporia’s early settlers were deeply committed to the abolitionist cause, which shaped the city’s political leanings and contributed to Kansas’ identity as a free state. The presence of Emporia State University (ESU), established in 1863, further bolstered the city's reputation as a center of progressive thought and education. Over the years, ESU has produced numerous influential political figures and activists who have played pivotal roles in state politics.

Media Influence

One of the most significant contributors to Emporia’s political influence is its media legacy, particularly through the Emporia Gazette. Founded in 1890, the Gazette gained national prominence under the editorship of William Allen White. White, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, used the Gazette as a platform to advocate for progressive reforms and civic responsibility. His famous editorial, "What's the Matter with Kansas?" published in 1896, criticized the Populist movement and shaped political discourse not only in Kansas but across the nation.

White’s legacy continues to influence Emporia's political landscape. The Gazette remains a respected voice in Kansas media, known for its balanced reporting and commitment to local issues. The paper's editorial stance often reflects the community's values, which are characterized by a blend of progressive ideals and pragmatic conservatism. This balanced perspective helps Emporia navigate the often polarized political climate of Kansas.

Educational Impact

Emporia State University plays a critical role in shaping the political landscape of the city and the state. As a significant educational institution, ESU attracts students from across Kansas and beyond, fostering a diverse and dynamic community. The university's focus on civic engagement and public service is evident in its curriculum and extracurricular activities, which encourage students to participate in local and state politics.

ESU's political science department is particularly influential, producing graduates who go on to hold significant positions in government, advocacy, and education. The university also hosts numerous political events, debates, and lectures, which serve as a platform for political dialogue and education. These activities ensure that the students and residents of Emporia are well-informed and actively engaged in political processes.

Civic Engagement

Emporia’s residents are known for their high level of civic engagement. The city's relatively small size fosters a close-knit community where individuals feel a strong sense of responsibility towards their neighbors and local institutions. This community spirit translates into active participation in local government, school boards, and civic organizations.

Emporia's local government is characterized by a high degree of citizen involvement. Public meetings are well-attended, and residents are vocal about their concerns and aspirations. This engagement ensures that local officials are accountable and responsive to the needs of the community. Moreover, Emporia's civic organizations, such as the League of Women Voters and local advocacy groups, play a crucial role in promoting voter education and participation.

Political Representation

Emporia's influence extends to the state legislature, where it has consistently produced notable political leaders. These leaders often reflect the city's pragmatic and moderate political stance, advocating for policies that balance economic growth with social equity. Emporia's representatives are known for their ability to work across party lines and build coalitions, which is essential in the often divided landscape of Kansas politics.

One notable figure is Don Hill, who represented Emporia in the Kansas House of Representatives from 2003 to 2017. Hill, a moderate Republican, was known for his commitment to public education and healthcare, reflecting the values of his constituents. His pragmatic approach to governance and willingness to collaborate with colleagues from both parties exemplified the political ethos of Emporia.

Economic and Demographic Factors

Emporia’s economic and demographic profile also contributes to its political influence. As a regional economic hub, Emporia boasts a diverse economy that includes agriculture, manufacturing, education, and healthcare. This economic diversity ensures that the city’s political interests are broad and inclusive, addressing the needs of various sectors.

Demographically, Emporia is relatively diverse compared to other Kansas cities of similar size. The presence of ESU attracts a mix of young professionals, academics, and international students, adding to the city’s cultural and political richness. This diversity fosters a more inclusive and progressive political environment, where different perspectives are valued and debated.

Conclusion

Emporia, Kansas, is a microcosm of the broader political dynamics of the state. Its rich history, influential media, educational institutions, and engaged citizenry contribute to its outsized influence on Kansas politics. As the state navigates the complexities of contemporary political issues, Emporia’s balanced and pragmatic approach provides a model for constructive civic engagement and effective governance. The city's ability to blend progressive ideals with practical solutions ensures that it will continue to play a pivotal role in shaping the political future of Kansas.

Save on Parking: A Guide to Economy Airport Parking

Economy airport parking is a budget-friendly option for travelers looking to save money on airport parking fees. These lots are typically located farther away from the terminals than closer in-terminal parking options. However, they offer significantly lower rates in exchange for a short shuttle ride to your terminal.

Here's what you can expect with economy airport parking:

Lower Rates: Economy parking offers the most affordable option compared to other parking choices at the airport. Daily rates can be as low as $7.50, significantly lower than closer garages.

Shuttle Service: Economy lots generally provide complimentary shuttle service to transport you directly to your terminal. Shuttles typically run 24/7 for your convenience.

Travel Time: Be prepared to factor in additional time for the shuttle ride to the terminal when choosing economy parking. Allow extra time for check-in, especially during peak travel hours.

Amenities: While some economy lots may offer covered parking or other amenities, these are less common than at closer garages.

Is Economy Parking Right for You?

Consider these factors to decide if economy parking is the best choice for your trip:

Trip Length: Economy parking is ideal for longer trips where the cost savings are most significant.

Luggage: If you have a lot of luggage, you may find maneuvering it on and off the shuttle inconvenient.

Travel Time: If you're short on time, the additional time for the shuttle ride may not be ideal

Finding Economy Parking

Most major airports offer on-site economy parking. You can find details about rates, location, and shuttle service on the airport's official website. Off-site economy parking companies are also available near many airports. These companies may offer competitive rates and amenities like car washing or valet service. Be sure to research and compare rates and services before booking.

By planning ahead and considering your needs, economy airport parking can be a great way to save money on your next trip.
