As previously reported, “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken” was on point at the always entertaining BroadwayCon for 2025. This time around it was being held at the New York Marriott Marquis and it was a bit out of the blue from its original location of the New York Hilton Midtown but things happen I guess. So since I’ve mentioned that this was a comic con set to the Broadway score I will leave it at that and now I am here to let you know that since I took so many photos across the two days that I was in attendance that I will once again being doing my now time-honored “Instagram Takeover” practices. I began doing these with the New York Comic Con and Anime NYC and figured that when I do a trade show or convention that this kind of social media feature will be something the readers can easily enjoy. Once again it will mostly be cosplayers but I will also add in a number of exhibitors since I talk to so many of them during the event. Since I shared the badge images and announcing that I was just arriving I’ve decided to begin this takeover with a visual of their onstage marquee. Remember to click the hearts and chime in if you have something topical to add to the mix since it helps the engagement and I also enjoy responding to the real supporters.
It was back in July when “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken” was back on point at the always interesting BroadwayCon for 2024. Held at the New York Hilton Midtown, it pretty much amounts to a theatrical version of a comic convention. There are panels and special guests and performances and also a whole bunch of themed cosplay. During the event that month I did a number of interviews and snapped a bunch of photos but my anticipated “Instagram Takeover” fell off of my planning schedule and just sat there – Until now. My quest to catch up to stuff finds me sharing this special feature now so please be aware that in addition to this presented image, there is an Instagram Takeover of the Piercing Ken Profile. It’s primarily cosplayers but that’s fine by me since I snap so many of those during the New York Comic Con for the PiercingMetal side of the creative coin. I’ll begin your jouney with this cool pin that they had the merchandise table. Clicking on this will bring you over to the profile and then I say click those hearts and chime in if you have something topical to add to the mix.
Hello my friends, I’m here to share a little bit of the coolness that’s been brewing in the Media Command HQ insofar as it applies to the Official YouTube Channel for the Piercing Ken website. It was only a short time ago that I was alerted about the Channel having surpassed 100K Views since its debut in September 2020. The launch of this Channel was very overdue as the Piercing Ken website has been online since 2010 and became a professional voice in 2016. It wasn’t until the scourge of the pandemic found so many of us stuck at home and thinking outside the box and boom here we went. Since its debut I’ve been steadily loading up content and according to the administration panel, there has been a brand-new video every other day since February of 2023. The clip that moved the counter past the 100K marck was actually a Short that I recorded only days ago at the NY NOW Trade Show. It’s embedded right below for your consumption.
Hey there my fine readers, it’s once again time to share some of the behind the scenes coolness that is happening over on one of the networks that is connected to the Piercing Ken framework. So I’ve already pointed out how I like to shine the spotlight on special events and milestones when it comes to brand when I recently achieved something for the PiercingMetal website and since “The Chronicles” is of equal importance to me as a content creator I was pretty stoked to notice this. It’s no secret that I have been posting quite a few clips onto our YouTube Channels of late and when I finished uploading my most recent video, I saw the counter turn to “500”. Now I mentioned over on PM that I have been using the free version of the VidIQ service and when you hit a particular milestone they send you a nifty graphic that you can share along on your social media platforms. Since Piercing Ken isn’t signed up for that service I won’t get an alert or the graphic. So what I did for the purpose of this announcement was to edit what I needed from the PiercingMetal Channel news and use it here down below. I am fairly stoked to talk to you about uploading 500 videos on “The Chronicles” of Piercing Ken’s Official YouTube Channel.
So I’ve actually just talked about this over on the PiercingMetal website (seen HERE) and since “The Chronicles” also has a very busy existence in the social media space I figured a post over on this side of the creative fence was in order. Now in case you haven’t heard this news yet, it seems that the folks at Meta, which is the parent company of Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram have determined that we need yet another social media application to use and have announced the launch of “Threads from Instagram”. This seems to be the Meta response to Twitter and I imagine can be used in the same fashion. The account for “The Chronicles” got created right from my current Instagram profile and uses the same exact handle. The only downside for me is that I wasn’t able to do this as Ken Pierce Media because lately I am making any new networks to be the editorial overseer presence as opposed to either side of the coin. It’s worked for things like TikTok very well so why not continue the trend. My first post to Threads is below and as I mentioned on the other post, one cannot embed these items.
