Melanie Tillbrook is an accomplished Phillipino model, business owner, and fitness competitor. She modeled in our Next Door promotion during our initial rebranding and has put us in touch with some incredible models, like Metisha, who starred in one of our recent model profiles. She’s crazy talented and possesses adept business acumen, which she used to propel her business, Posh Production and Events.

But that’s not what brought Melanie to the studio today. No, in this episode of Uncreative Radio, we’re here to talk about the fall of the entertainment industry amid coronavirus and how to stoke your bullshit-o-meter.

There is a certain phrase that we’ve been hearing a lot amongst colleagues and it pretty much summarizes business at the turn of the decade (especially for those of us in the entertainment industry, with the exception on Netflix):

“2020 started out strong and then March rolled around…”

March was like getting kicked in the stomach after a massive bowl of fettucini alfredo (sorry, Italy). Business was a-boomin’. We were on track for record numbers. Our list of client work was out of the door. We had original productions in the pipeline. And then it all vanished. Our clients had to close their doors and consequentially our workload dried up like an orange left to rot on the side of the road in the summer heat. It’s been brutal. We’re not the only ones dealing with the coronavirus blowback (obviously) but we are one of the few who are talking about it.

There’s no one better to have this conversation with than Melanie Tillbrook. Her career keeps her at the forefront of the entertainment industry, so when the world started to sour, she was one of the first people to see the signs.

Melanie is no soothsayer (otherwise her business would have been impervious to the coronavirus blowback), but she is predicting an end to the mayhem. It may be sooner than you ever thought… Well, not if you’re a Trump 2020 supporter. Those people still think this whole thing is a hoax.
