Ken Pierce Media’s Year End Cross-Brand Overview For 2022

So here we are once again my friends at the end of another year and its around this time that I like to sit back and share some thoughts about the creative process in terms of the year that’s wrapping up very soon. In the years before I had launched the Ken Pierce Media angle, I would offer up a lengthy missive on both PiercingMetal and “The Chronicles” of Piercing Ken but last year I decided to put a shorter brief together for those sites and add them into a post that also discussed this now almost three year-old brand. So creatively speaking, 2022 was a lot closer to normal than the previous couple of years were and thank the fates for that. As a content creator I kept on doing what is expected of me and wrote articles consistently throughout the year. I’ll get right on down into the mix and also discuss the social media side of each site beginning with PiercingMetal and so on into the others. Let’s go.

Ken Pierce Media Posts 100th Clip on TikTok

When I say that it doesn’t feel like all that long ago when I shared the news about KPM posting our 50th TikTok Clip, its because it really wasn’t. As a matter of fact, despite having an account for over a year I’ve only really started to use it when the 2022 New York Comic Con was getting underway. Today I am here to share the most recent update as we’ve reached our 100th Clip on this fun network. The timing of this particular clip is rather fun because I am not in my native New York City and am instead visiting family down South. Since I was already doing my “Christmas in New York City” clips, I decided to expand upon the idea and offer up some “Christmas In The South” when I saw something interesting. The clip is below.

Ken Pierce Media Celebrates 2nd Anniversary Of Branded YouTube Channel

Hey there my friends, I am taking a brief pause from the day to share the news that I am celebrating some social media stuff. Today marks the 2nd Anniversary of the Official Branded Channel for the Ken Pierce Media side of the fence. The branding itself is closing in on its third year of existence and if you’ve been following along with any of the development narratives that have posted to the website you know that this once very simple idea has expanded into something much more comprehensive in overall reach. What began as a simple scratch-pad Blogspot is now a full-on professional level website with more than 5.9K posts and “10” social media profiles. The Ken Pierce Media use of the YouTube Channel is definitely less than that of the @PiercingMetal and @PiercingKen brands but is still of vital importance in the extension of the overall idea.

At the time of this network’s anniversary you will see that there aren’t a whole lot of videos on the Channel yet. The way that I’ve been using this Channel is to post when there is something that crosses all of the brands dividing lines. There are more of the new Shorts on the Channel which are often ported from our similarly branded TikTok account as it works out best to do it like that. I’ve been having fun using this area to broaden the KPM world a little more and ask that everyone who is reading this to both “Subscribe” and click the “Notification Bell” to ensure they won’t miss out on anything. It also helps if you click the like and leave a topical comment. For those who don’t know, you can’t secure an Official URL for a Channel until you reach 100 Subscribers and nothing can be monetized until you hit 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours. Fortunately its easier to find this Channel thanks to their new Handles initiative but we are miles away from the other milestones needed. That’s where the audience and supporters of our content come in and its why we are asking for your brand support. The link is down below, and as I wrap this one up I say thanks for all the interest in this part of the creative puzzle. I enjoy using this to entertain and inform you all.

Presenting Our “Reddit Recap” For 2022

Last year I decided to share the year-end rundown from my participation in the Reddit Community and since the notification has just arrived about my past years activity I am doing so again. I’m not sure how many of you out there in the readership use this but I have found it helpful for a number of things that I am involved in as a creative. I still feel that I am kind of green to this one but have kept my participation tight for a few small areas that I hope will expand the reach of some of the other work I am doing online. That being said, here are the screen grabs of the rundown from this 2022 year. I hope you enjoy it.

Ken Pierce Media Posts 75th Clip on TikTok

Greetings my kind friends, I’m back with another brief announcement. Yesterday, the Ken Pierce Media angle posted the seventy fifth video clip to the TikTok network. There are some of you that might recall when I announced our presence on the platform and if you didn’t see that post please give it a look by clicking HERE; Now I’ve already pointed out about having an account for a number of months before diving into its use but let’s reflect on that first post after a quick brief about post #75. The clip below originates from the Stavros Niarchos branch of the New York Public Library and I am glad that this is the one that hit that number since it also lets me celebrate some Spider-Man stuff. At the time you are seeing this announcement I am involved in my annual Christmas Tree Pilgrimage. That’s when I adventure around the city and snap photos and videos of the Christmas tree setups that I find. The practice has been done for a few years now but the video aspect is still on the new side so I am working the kinks out and hope that you enjoy them.
