Greetings my dear friends out there in TikTok land, I am saying a very loud and somewhat boisterous “Welcome Back” because I have to admit that I thought when we were doing this the last time back in early January, I felt that it would have been my last broadcast of this nature based on the ban that TikTok was facing. You might recall that the at the time sitting President Biden signed off on banning the social media platform for matters of national security but once Donald Trump defeated him he reviewed this and kept pushing the ban aside. You’re not going to get much politics from me, but I was surely glad that he did that since I felt there were other items overlooked during the Biden presidency that were greater risks to our national security. I am stoked to have gotten right back into the posting of these briefs and now that another increment of “50” has been achieved we can add another notch to our website publishing belt. The short down below comes from the recent NY NOW Gifting Show and one of the booths that I explored. This is called “The Gifting Suite” and many exhibitors leave products to be taken by VIP Buyers and the Media. I love this part of the trade show since it gives me something else to talk about and here now is post #950.
@kenpiercemedia One of the highlights of the NY NOW Winter Market is the VIP Gifting Suite. Let’s have a look around #fyp #foryoupage #nynow #javitscenter #piercingken
As its been established here for quite a few many of the plateau reaching posts already I am just going to continue to share a couple of additional posts that I wanted you to see. If you’re following KPM on The Tok, there is always a chance that something went by you unnoticed and well, I can’t have that being the case. I’m also starting to do this a little more for posts that seem to have been sidelined by the platform for some reason. The interesting thing with this next clip is that it was from a professional exhibitors booth and the booth related to pleasure products that were the creation of a fully licensed professional sexologist. We did a longer interview for the YouTube Channel and while I was stoked to add this content into my run of features, BOTH of the videos were throttled by the platform. The short here barely got any views and the same thing happened with the YouTube video. A shame really since this was only positive stuff and not scandalous, perverted or dare I say disgusting. Oh well.
@kenpiercemedia Here’s a forgot to post flashback from Curve NY Summer Showcase 2024 and the Bloomi booth. I expect to be at the Winter Showcase in the coming weeks and am awaiting clearance #fyp #foryoupage #curveexpo #bloomi #javitscenter #piercingken
The next inclusion was a surprise and actually also from that NY NOW Trade Show. This is the “Kaiju Unleashed” from Quarto Books and this tome is awesome for any fans of giant monsters and robots from the classic and even some of the newer Japanese films. Having a bit of a lifelong appreciation for Godzilla, Gamera and many of the others I loved leafing through this book and really hope to get my hands on a copy to do a better site overview of it. It was truly a comprehensive book about Kaiju and I think most of my PiercingMetal readers will enjoy this one. Kudos to Quarto Books for releasing this. I hope that more like this come down the pike in time.
@kenpiercemedia Here’s a quick look at “Kaiju Unleashed” by Shawn Pryor from Epic Ink and @Quarto Books that we saw at NY NOW Winter Market #fyp #foryoupage #nynow #quartobooks #epicink #kaijuunleashed #shawnpryor #piercingmetal
This is the place where usually like to share a little visual of some statistics but I’ve decided not to do that with every single one of these milestone posts. We have surpassed 14K on the list of “likes” of the videos but the downside of TikTok not showing a full views captured by the feed remains a thing that most creators are hoping for. This kind of metric became forbidden to show because it made people feel bad if no one was watching their stuff. Hey, listen up, sometimes my stuff gets no views and how do I work around it? I share it across so many other mediums that its hard to avoid. I’m closing in on 500 followers for this profile and wish that was higher but I am okay with the 14K views since that is growing step by step incrementally. Offhand I don’t know how much of my audience is even using TikTok but I do see some of our band friends on the platform and I hope its helping their cause along as well. So far the larger amount of the content has been the Piercing Ken stuff since I do so many art fairs and trade shows. Once more of the New York Comic Con and Toy Fair stuff gets recorded that will be presented here as well. I’ve also been enjoying sharing comic book stuff here so if you are using TikTok to keep you amused please be sure to follow along and chime in when you see something that you also enjoy. I love seeing comments and so my best to answer them all. I don’t know when the next increment of “50” will be achieved but I am already building up quite a backlog of clips and that takes up valuable space on the mobile so I will likely need to post at least two videos per day. If it sounds like a lot to keep up with it is LOL. All in all if you’re here with me already we appreciate you. Now back to the rest of everything else being done on Ken Pierce Media and I will see you again soon. Cheers.
