The Top 6 Best Fashion Moments of the 2015 Oscars

I can’t quite seem to forget the memories of the 2015 Oscars. This glamorous award winning show was at its best again with a lot of styled up actors and nominees. And as always one thing was to remain quite vivid, the awesomeness of the breathtaking fashion that walks this grand ceremony. In 2015 it wasn’t any different and here are the top 10 celebrity fashion moments that really stole the show. 

Julianne Moore – Chanel Haute Couture

Awesome, period! Julianne looked stunning in this sequin gown that had a fantastic touch of floral embroidery. Word has it that the dress knocked 1000 hours to work on and that it took up to 27 guys to complete it. Whatever the price, it was worth it. This dress simply took the number one surprise spot in my list.

Reese Witherspoon – Tom Ford Design 

If there is something better that could describe sophistication at its simplest level is the one dress Reese wore to the banquet of the stars. If your jaw didn’t drop when you came face to face with this curve hugging black and white Tom Ford design then your test for fashion is simply off! At harpersbazaar they called it timeless, you know what that means.

Dakota Johnson – Saint Laurent Design

When I saw Dakota, the main starlet in the fifty shades of gray her sultry chic embellished gown swept me off my feet with its one shoulder design, and the smooth flare that it flowed with to the ground. This red dress gave her the sweet naïve look that a teen gets on her prom night. I guess it all boils down to the one thing - Saint Laurent took this day home.

Rosamund Pike – Givenchy Design

I can’t quite remember anything like it. But Pikes crimson lace Givenchy looked daring, flawless and elegant on her. You don’t quite see anything like that every day, and if the red hot heels and a smokin’ haute legs didn’t do the trick in making the dress to stand out, its sleeveless design did. Something was right on point and it matched up with that red carpet event sweetly.

Lupita Nyong’o – Calvin Klein Gown

Pearls, colored stones, and vintage ornaments don’t come easy, not even in reign costumes. Such are only associated with style, class, glamour, and beauty and Lupita adorned them all with just one gown. White, flowing to the red carpet, and featuring 6000 hand sewn pearls, Lupita’s style will down the annals of history for one of a kind Calvin Klein touch.

Naomi Watts – Armani Prive Gown

I don’t really have the words to describe Naomi’s gown on the Oscars red carpet. But let me say it was ridiculously sexy. Tiled, black and white, and with a few sensual cutouts, Naomi Watts was in my own words super cool. getting such a hott body with a stylish dress is never easy and this actress nailed it.

Fashion is ever evolving and we are yet to see much more. Looking at the many fashion oriented TV shows that we have today such as Glee, PLL, Reign, and Game of Thrones among others, I would say the renaissance fashion is the next big hit and reign clothing could be the next red carpet talk of town.

5 Guaranteed Ways That Will Maximize Your Marketing Agency Profits

Many agencies could grow overnight if they focused on the right business strategies. However since the demand for digital services are increasing by day, many digital agencies are finding it quite difficult to attract new clients, retain their regular client base, and maintain their profits. It is because of this same reason that we took time to talk to some successful digital businesses and compiled these 5 easy tips that will help you to maximize your digital agency’s profits. 

Have Quantifiable Services

Services that can be scaled or quantified will help your team to grow their focus and eventually increase their efficiency. They will help you to carry out employee appraisals, define employee responsibilities, set tangible goals, and provide specific tools for excellence. Alan Refaeli, the CEO of Digital Bulldogs says, that when using such scalable process you should focus on key service management areas such as client on-boarding, invoicing, and business development.

Look For Financial Stability

Depending on your financial equation, you should focus on measures that allow you to gain stability. For instance if you are struggling with payrolls and utility bills, the best thing to do would be to downsize, get an affordable space, or scrap off other services that you don’t need. You could also plan for short term goals instead of long term options. Working with an expert data monetization firm will also be a viable process. Your main focus here is to stay afloat.

Rethink Business Development

Don’t wait until the last minute to realize that the business development you’ve been pursuing isn’t really viable. Instead come up with very practical options that could help you to find out if your development plan is indeed viable. After that come up with ideal ways to streamline quotes, presentation, and closing activities. Without such a process you’ll spend so much money on your business development only to hit the rock when it is late. Alan Refaeli, advices businesses to use ideal programs such as the Marketing Score.

Show A Great Track Record

What is it that you do? How do you do it? Are you able to provide full client satisfaction? How can you rate your overall performance? Do you have a practical feedback plan? All these are top questions that every digital agency should be asking. You want to find out if indeed you’ve been driving leads and sales to the best of your capacity. If you have a direct and measurable impact on your clients then selling your services and raking in profits will be as easy.

Go With Value Based Pricing

Alan Refaeli, the CEO of Digital Bulldogs again says that often most digital agencies fail to quantify their services and relate them to their pricing. He says that highly strategic activities such as setting up a crisis communication plan should be charged equivalently to their perceived value. And that the agency should use supply and demand laws to their advantage. This way they can create a formula that is quite reputable and result oriented.
