BLAKE'S BUZZ PODCAST ANNOUNCES OFFICIAL SPONSORSHIP BY METAL NINJA STUDIOS

Kansas City, MO 08/03/2023 - Blake's Buzz, the acclaimed podcast dedicated to interviewing indie creators and exploring the world of indie comics, is proud to announce its official sponsorship by Metal Ninja Studios. This collaboration marks an exciting turning point for Blake's Buzz, as it expands its horizons and ventures into new realms of support and services for indie creators.

About Blake's Buzz Podcast:

Blake's Buzz is a popular podcast that has been engaging and inspiring audiences for years by featuring exclusive interviews with talented creators from the comic book industry. Hosted by Blake Morgan, the show delves into the minds of comic book professionals to shed light on their creative processes, challenges, and successes.

About Metal Ninja Studios:

Metal Ninja Studios is a dynamic company committed to empowering indie creators in bringing their comic book visions to life. The studio offers a comprehensive suite of services, including in-house letterers, editors, writers, designers, and artist connections, to provide creators with the support they need to succeed.

What Does This Sponsorship Mean?

With Metal Ninja Studios as its official sponsor, Blake's Buzz will continue to deliver the high-quality content its listeners have come to love. Audiences can still expect those same, entertaining interviews, updates on crowdfunding campaigns, and news from the thriving world of indie comics. However, this partnership will also introduce exciting new elements to the podcast.

Metal Ninja Studios will actively contribute to the podcast's production, providing graphics and animations to enhance the listening experience. Moreover, the studio will host educational videos designed to help indie creators flourish in their careers, offering invaluable insights and guidance to navigate the challenges of the industry.

A New Direction for Blake's Buzz:

The collaboration with Metal Ninja Studios has inspired a transformation within Blake's Buzz. The podcast is expanding into the realms of public relations and promotional services to better support indie creators on their journey to success. This new direction will enable creators to amplify their reach and audience, fostering an environment where creative talents can thrive.

A Fresh Look:

To celebrate this exciting chapter, Blake's Buzz is unveiling a brand new logo designed by Metal Ninja Studios CEO, Joel Rodriguez. The redesigned logo reflects the podcast's growth and renewed dedication to uplifting indie creators. The logo will be showcased in this press release and across all promotional materials.

About the New Logo:

With a fresh new font and coat of paint, and a wonderful new avatar drawn by comic book artist Ignacio Di Meglio, Joel Rodriguez was able to visualize the inherent charm permeating throughout the Blake’s Buzz platform. We wanted something fun and welcoming, which Joel was able to perfectly execute. 

“I was hesitant to change the logo,” says Blake. “I built a strong brand and made a strong logo that sold a good deal of merchandise, but it didn’t take long for Joel to win me over with his ideas. It’s very me.”

Join Us in Celebrating:

Blake's Buzz and Metal Ninja Studios invite everyone to join in celebrating this new partnership and the promising future it holds for the indie comic community. Tune in to Blake's Buzz for the latest interviews, crowdfunding updates, and more, with the added expertise and support from Metal Ninja Studios.

Blake will also be doing a special live stream tonight, 8/3, at 8:00 PM EST with Metal NInja Studios CEO, Joel Rodriguez. Tune in live if you can!
