We all know the “Seattle Freeze” can be pretty chilly and even lonely at times. However, the "Real Media Mixer" is meant to bring together media professionals for a night of networking, creating new bonds and future collaborations.

Who comes to the Real Media Mixer?

Business owners, TV hosts, radio host, DJs, podcasters, media experts, journalists, Recording Academy members, photographers, tech workers, actors, make-up artists, authors, nationally known dance choreographers, fashion designers, community leaders, realtors, and fitness trainers.

When is the next Real Media Mixer?

When: Tuesday, June 21st

Where: Gold Bar Seattle

Time: 8:00 pm - 11:11

After the pandemic hit Besa Gordon had to bring Seattle Media Mixers to a close until now. While catching up at Seattle's Communion restaurant, Lady Coco mentioned she hosts/DJs "Something Real" every Thursday at Gold Bar Seattle, a night for R&B lovers.

It didn't take long for them to realize they both love R&B and bringing people together for a night of connections and great energy. By the end of them catching up, it was a no-brainer for these two powerhouses to come together and create the "The Real Seattle Media Mixer," which now happens every 3rd Tuesday at Gold Bar Seattle.

Maybe you're looking for someone to collaborate with on a future project or to link with like-minded people in media. No matter what you're looking for you'll find it at the "Real Media Mixer" happening on June 21, 2022, at Gold Bar Seattle.

Did we mention it will be R&B and Afrobeats night? Every Thursday at Gold Bar is R&B night with DJ Lady Coco, and if you haven't made it to one, you've been missing out!

The mixer is from 8:00 pm - 11:11 pm to allow us all to make a wish at 11:11 pm before heading out.

For this month's panel we wanted to focus on something for the influencers, and business owners that are reaching out to advertisers and sponsors, so the panel will feature some key players from the Vida Agency, which is who Converge Media actually works with for their advertisers.

The panel will begin at 9pm and go to about 9:30 pm - 9:45 pm. If you have any questions for the panel that you want to make sure are asked, send them to Besa Gordon on IG @besagordon. If you’re not sure of a question at the moment that’s fine too. Everyone will have the opportunity to ask a question once the panel is over.
