We had the good fortune of connecting with Jason Brazeal and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jason, is there a quote or affirmation that’s meaningful to you?
“The whole vast world, and everyone in it is merely yourself pushed out.” Neville Goddard

It means that everything comes from within, and others interact with us based entirely upon our own self concepts, and beliefs. There’s nothing to change but yourself, and when you change your inner beliefs, assumptions, and expectations, the world follows suit as you persist in these new beliefs.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Well, I started off working on film crews before moving into copywriting, and marketing within the entertainment community.

This is why I started ARGONAUT ENTERTAINMENT PUBLICITY and CONSULTANTS.
Our speciality is entertainment industry copywriting, marketing and consulting for filmmakers, actors and actresses, authors, etc. We handle everything from promotional marketing campaigns to consultations regarding funding and distribution.
It’s designed for the entertainment professionals by entertainment professionals.
This really sets us apart from private sector marketing firms who do not have the skills, experience, connections, or know how to market within our elitesrt industry.
“Leave the regular marketers to air conditioners and toothpaste, I say. Let the real creative professionals handle the industry stuff.”

I have worked in the past with notable properties, such as, Famous Monsters of Filmland, which is the original horror magazine.
I have filled in the shoes, and been directly involved with perpetuating the legacies of 2 late-great genre icons.
Forrest J. Ackerman being one, and Chas Balun being the other.

I am a member of Chas Balun’s DEEP RED SPLAT PACK.
Currently, I am handling social media management, and copywriting for several properties: Famous Monsters Chronicles, Deep Red Magazine, Space Monsters Magazine (which I own), Hammer Film Archives, and FantaCo Publishing, amongst many others.

I have learned that marketers, like myself, can receive a lot of flack due to ignorance.
A lot of people don’t understand that you’re marketing when you are. Which can cause some people to act silly. Especially, if they’re opposed to the subject matter which you are marketing.
My case being primarily the horror entertainment industry, though I do venture out into other genre’s within the entertainment industry as a whole.

My road has not been easy, but it has certainly provided an artistic outlet, and wonderful challenges along the way.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I have a fondness for the Half Price Books Flagship store. You can always find interesting treasures there. I love Cafe Izmir for great meals, and it is a special place for me due to special reasons and a special someone.

I am fond of the Texas Theatre, and many other great places within the city.

Dallas is such a great city that there’s really too many to name.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Absolutely,

I wouldn’t be where I am today without the support of my friends, family, and employers.
They’re all too numerous to mention, so I will instead give a bog shout out to everyone. Rather than run the risk of forgetting to include someone who is pivotal in my development.
