TUBI ACQUIRES STXfilms AND PROJECT X ENTERTAINMENT'S SUPERNATURAL THRILLER "BED REST" STARRING MELISSA BARRERA
Written and Directed by Lori Evans Taylor BED REST Will Debut Exclusively on Tubi December 7th
SAN FRANCISCO November 21, 2022 – Tubi (www.tubi.tv), is excited to announce it has acquired the exclusive U.S. streaming rights to the STXfilms supernatural thriller, BED REST. Starring Melissa Barrera ("In the Heights," "Scream") the film is written by Lori Evans Taylor ("Final Destination 6") who also makes her directing debut. STXfilms has the global distribution rights for BED REST, in which STXinternational has licensed the film worldwide. BED REST is produced by William Sherak, James Vanderbilt, and Paul Neinstein through their Project X Entertainment banner, along with Evans Taylor and Barrera, in what is her feature-film producorial debut. Financing for the film was provided by Bondit Media.
After years of struggling to start a family, Julie Rivers (Barrera) is pregnant again and moving into a new home with her husband as they embrace a fresh start. Upon being ordered to mandatory bed rest, Julie begins to slowly unravel as she suffers through the monotony and anxiety of her new constraints. Soon, terrifying ghostly experiences in the home begin to close in on Julie, stirring up her past demons and causing others to question her mental stability. Trapped and forced to face her past, and the supernatural, Julie fights to protect herself and her unborn baby.
"We're very excited to be the exclusive home for this gripping psychological thriller that has you wondering until the very end if what we see is to be believed," said Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer, Tubi. "Melissa is absolutely captivating in BED REST and we can't wait for audiences to see her incredible portrayal of this isolated character working through her grief while facing frightening supernatural elements."
"As a first-time producer, it is my profound pleasure to be partnering with Tubi to bring BED REST to a savvy and engaged audience," said Barrera. "While on the surface, BED REST is a horror film, it is a story that will resonate deeply with anyone who's experienced grief and been haunted by loss. Lori Evans Taylor has created a deeply emotional journey for audiences, and I'm grateful to my partners at Project X and STX for bringing us together to share this story with the world."
"Tubi has been an excellent partner and we are excited to be collaborating once again on a new, original movie that will leave their viewers who are looking for creeps and supernatural twists and scares truly satisfied," said David Spiegelman, President, Domestic TV & Digital Distribution for STXfilms.
"We knew Melissa was the perfect choice to headline this film with her natural talent and work ethic," said Project X Entertainment. "Having the pleasure of working with Melissa on two "Scream" films, she's showcased her interest in all facets of filmmaking and proved to be an unbelievable producing partner, as well as a welcome part to the PXE family. We're excited that all of us could come together to tell this thrilling story that Lori Evans Taylor created in her directorial debut."Barrera captivated audiences in Lin-Manuel Miranda's movie musical adaptation of "In the Heights," for Warner Bros. She can currently be seen in the Netflix global hit "Keep Breathing" which premiered #1 in the Top 10 and remained there for weeks. Barrera will soon star as the title character in the musical "Carmen," opposite Paul Mescal for Sony Pictures Classics. She previously starred in Paramount and Spy Glass Media's latest installment of the iconic horror franchise "Scream," and will reprise her role in the next installment set for a March 10, 2023 release.
Taylor recently completed the script for "Final Destination 6" which is currently in pre-production. She is also currently working on the script "I Am Still Alive," starring and produced by Ben Affleck. Her previous credits include "Lucky Dog," "Welcome Home" and others.
Barrera is repped by WME, Bridge Works Entertainment, Sugar 23, and Gang Tyre. Taylor is represented by ICM Partners, Kaplan/Perrone and McKuin Frankel.

There was as much interest off the track at Monza as there was on it. Get up to speed with the Italian Grand Prix debrief.
The final race of the European season always brings fanfare and attracts in ther bigwigs – not least because logistically it's the last chance to show off F1's splendours – and there were talking points aplenty. From FIA President Jean Todt's parade with Liberty heads to the movements of McLaren and Renault team bosses going in and out of various hospitality bases.
While English football enjoyed its traditional transfer deadline day at the start of the Italian Grand Prix, F1 was bracing for its own deadline day as dubbed by a number of journalists in the Monza paddock. Sunday night, specifically 6pm, was billed as the point of no return on a potential engine deal being announced but the clock struck the hour and not a peep from any of the key players.
Eric Boullier, McLaren-Honda team manager, remained remarkably tight-lipped speaking to reporters after Sunday's race but did say a Honda board meeting wouldn't include any McLaren representatives, while they had no shiny new contracts dripping with fresh ink from Renault.
Cue the rumour mill going into overdrive. Staying with Honda, switching to Renault, Toro Rosso picking up Honda in an engine supplier swap, while Zak Brown went as far as to hint McLaren could build their own engines with some external help, but that seems unlikely until the change of engine regulations for 2021.
In a weekend of uncertainty, McLaren are certain about one thing: a deal will be struck before Singapore's race in two weeks. Design work and developments on 2018 cars have been stalled long enough that if the negotiations rumble on any further it could have a detrimental effect on the team's car compared to its rivals regardless of what powers it.
Then there is the immediate future of the drivers. Fernando Alonso is adamant he won't make a decision for 2018 until he knows what each team will pack in its armoury, including away from F1, while the lingering rumour of Carlos Sainz Jr. breaking into Renault also refuses to fade away. And where does Robert Kubica slot into this? The Pole was present in the Monza paddock and even if his fairytale return at Renault fails to materialise there are enough teams sniffing around.
In the country which defined what romanticism meant there was a love-in on Sunday morning with a public message being sent out. Liberty's arrival as new F1 owners sparked into life 12 months ago and to mark the occasion Ross Brawn, Chase Carey and Sean Bratches – the tri-human which replaced Bernie Ecclestone – strolled up and down the Monza paddock with FIA President Jean Todt. If it wasn't for the commotion of onlookers and photographers they could have easily been holding hands.
But was it all strategical? Back in May Todt officially announced his plan to run for a third term as FIA President and while no candidates have thrown their hat into the ring if the ex-Ferrari boss can keep the new owners on his side he'll effectively hold the majority of the key players. That may mean he might not even need to face a campaign.
During Friday's FIA team principal press conference Mercedes boss Toto Wolff spoke of his respect and admiration for his counterpart Maurizio Arrivabene sitting alongside him. The words probably ring true but it's easy to be respectful to an opposition when you have a plan in place. And what a blow Mercedes landed on Ferrari on its home turf.
Yes, Mercedes were always fancied to win at Monza due to its power unit advantage but very few people who have predicted such a walk in the royal park for the Silver Arrows to slide a dagger into Ferrari hearts. Hamilton escaped up the road before Ferrari could get close, aided by the jokers in the pack Lance Stroll and Esteban Ocon, but the way Valtteri Bottas not only repassed Kimi Raikkonen but seemingly pulled away at will would have been painful viewing for all those in red.
Whether it was the oil burning trick from Merc's new engine package or just the plentiful straights allowing Hamilton and Bottas to stride away, a 30-second gap in a race which lasted just 75 minutes would feel like a lifetime after all of Ferrari's promising work so far this year. But then came the statement of authority.
First from Hamilton, who before the race wanted to rub the smile off Sebastian Vettel's face, gleefully stated "Mercedes power is definitely better than Ferrari power" on the podium in front of the frustrated Tifosi who booed him. Then Toto Wolff, the respectful one, said he thought Ferrari "had taken a step back" in its development.
This was Mercedes saying, you've done well so far Ferrari but this is our world crown and you are getting nowhere near it.
Will it be a Mercedes whitewash until the end of the season? Probably not with the likes of Singapore and Brazil to come but the heavy majority of tracks favour the Silver Arrows to keep on flying.
On Thursday morning the Monza paddock was host to a rather unique spectacle. Usually banished out of sight, the Formula 2 world joined its much bigger brother to reveal the 2018 F2 cars – the first time something like it had ever been hosted in the F1 paddock. Liberty and the FIA are keen to add value to the show and giving F2 a more prominent billing would be an easy win given one race can often possess as much excitement as an entire F1 season.
Visually and technically the new F2 cars have been designed to reflect the fresh look F1 has for this year while it also included the Halo. Like or loathe it, at least for the immediate future this is how single-seater cars will look. However, it was far from the finished article with the model car carefully balancing the Halo device above its cockpit while the bodywork was impressive for afar was far from the finished article when close up. A move to the future but the journey is far from complete.


Locke developed and launched CommunicationsMatch, an agency search and engagement platform with 5,000 listed firms and professionals in 12 countries, to connect companies with agencies that match their needs. A founder of communications agencies and startups, he previously headed U.S. Businesses Communications at Prudential Financial, was Head of Corporate Communications for Morgan Stanley Japan, and ran Asia Pacific Communications at Deutsche Bank.
Steve Drake's 30+ year career includes executive communications positions with corporations and global public relations firms, including Fleishman-Hillard, for which he launched and managed the firm's offices in Beijing and Shanghai, China. Before launching RFP Associates, he ran his own corporate communications consultancy, Steven Drake Associates, LLC, which offered services designed to help clients effectively communicate with audiences and achieve their organizational objectives. During the course of that work, he found that many of his clients would seek his help in identifying, evaluating and hiring PR agencies both for short-term assignments as well as ongoing retainer work.
Over the course of his career in public relations and public affairs, Robert Udowitz has worked at large and multinational agencies, corporations and trade associations. He began his career in New York City at one of the largest private agencies and continued to Washington, DC, where he began working in crisis and public affairs for governments and global corporations. The genesis of RFP Associates began after pitching new business at Fleishman-HIllard's Washington office and then conducting an agency search for a publicly traded government contractor - as its Director of Corporate Communications. By observing the search process from "both sides of the aisle," he recognized the need to streamline and improve the methodology by which agencies are chosen and communications campaigns are executed using an honest, unbiased perspective.
Hiring a communications or PR agency is one of the most consequential decisions a company will make. It's not just about money. It's important because you are handing over some or all responsibility for a company's most valuable asset – its brand and reputation – to a third party.
The stakes are high at any point. They are even higher during a crisis situation. So getting the decision right is critical.
In CommunicationsMatch's 2017 PR & Communications Agency Search Report, three-quarters of respondents said they ask their peers for recommendations when it comes to finding agencies. Twenty percent or fewer cited Google, LinkedIn, trade associations, or trade media as resources for agency search.
That's a lot of people asking others they know and trust for recommendations. As we will outline in this guide, intuitively this makes sense, but in practice it's not enough.
It's worth taking a moment to think back not so many years ago when we had little choice but to rely on friends and acquaintances to find future life partners. With the internet and online dating services, technology has given us far broader access to people with the qualities we are seeking.
When hiring a PR agency or consultant – truly, a corporate marriage – we highlight the benefits of using a search process that goes beyond asking the people you know to help find communications agencies and professionals that are the best fit for your company's specific needs.
Starting a search from a shortlist of half a dozen recommended agencies rather than looking at the potential pool of candidate firms may well seem like the most efficient approach to search. But as with online dating services, CommunicationsMatch provides the ability to search through thousands of potential partners quickly and efficiently to find agencies by industry and communications expertise, location, size and other search criteria important to you and your organization.
By following the process we outline in this Guide – using our RFQ and RFP tools and other search resources – you will be able to more efficiently find and hire agencies best positioned to deliver desired communications outcomes tailored to your project and to your company's longer term communications needs.
This guide, along with our agency search videos, research and articles in CommunicationsMatch's Agency Search Resource Center, seeks to provide valuable insights, information and practical steps that can be used to make the agency search and engagement process as efficient and focused as possible. Most important of all, by helping companies find the agencies and professionals best-suited for them, they will be positioned to execute high impact communications programs that achieve award-winning results.
Key Takeaway: Search tools and consulting services provide companies the opportunity to go beyond who they or their peers know to find agencies with specific capabilities that match their needs.
There are thousands of PR, communications and digital agencies with exceptionally talented people. Of these, many may well have the combination of industry and communications expertise that can be a perfect match for your company.
Yet chances are, in your last agency search, you did what most companies do: You asked your peers for agency recommendations to develop a shortlist of agencies to contact.
Word of mouth is a simple and powerful way to find service providers, people and products across industries. And, because the recommendations are from people we know and trust, they carry significant weight in our minds.
In the CommunicationsMatch 2017 Agency Search Report, asking peers was cited by 76% of respondents as a primary resource for finding agencies. Other resources – Google, LinkedIn, trade associations and trade media – were cited 20% or less of the time.
Even though word of mouth was not the only tool used by companies, recognizing its limitations is important. By definition, word of mouth limits the scope of a search to agencies known by peers. If this were the only way a company identifies agencies, it will be excluding highly qualified agencies and consultants with capabilities that may potentially be an ideal match for its specific needs.
As former heads of communications we have been asked on multiple occasions for agency recommendations (in fact, this may be the most common question in the industry). We could always run off a list of firms we'd heard about or knew of through reputation. These would include brand names we'd know of, but may not have worked with directly.
Were our recommendations useful? Probably, in that they helped colleagues identify agencies with which they may not have been familiar. But were they comprehensive or based on actual experience? In all likelihood, probably not.
More often than not, since the people we know as communicators tend to look like us, absent from a list generated through peers may well be diverse agencies.
When it comes to finding diverse agencies there's another issue that comes into play. Minority-owned firms may not be recommended simply because an assumption is made that if the company isn't looking to reach multicultural audiences, diversity isn't a priority.
Now we've pointed out the issues. What are the solutions?
We believe it is necessary from the outset to take a comprehensive approach to agency search – one that as far as possible helps companies identify across the communications industry those agencies or professionals that will best match their needs.
A more comprehensive search process offers a number of advantages – most important of which is better search outcomes. It also helps reduce the nagging feeling that maybe the "grass might be greener" with an agency that wasn't in the mix.
Agencies with the best fit may come from unlikely places. The maxim "never judge a book by its cover" is worth keeping in mind.
Being open-minded when it comes to search criteria, people and experience is valuable if you are to find the best fit and capabilities for your needs. This is particularly applicable to diverse and minority-owned agencies.
In the same way online dating tools changed the way we find our life partners, using a search tool or a search consulting service provides companies with a window on resources that are available as a starting point for finding the most qualified agency partners.
The bottom line: Word of mouth is one source of agency candidates, but it's important to recognize its limits and initially cast a wider net.
Key Takeaway: Starting an agency search with a goal in mind and sticking to it is the key to success. It's also essential to have an approved budget.
For every search it's important to start with the end in mind. Is a successful search about hiring an agency? No.
We believe a successful search is about finding the best agency to meet a company's specific needs as measured by its work over several years or, at a minimum, for the duration of a project.
Engaging an agency, as Churchill put it is, "Not the beginning of the end, but the end of the beginning." It's important to have this perspective in mind because the search process is really about moving your company's brand forward, not simply hiring an agency.
The best way to translate this idea into a guide for the search process is to draft a measures-of-success document. This document should go as far as possible to include measurable goals for your organization and the agency you are looking to engage. Examples may be to double the volume of media coverage or website traffic generated, social media engagement or marketing leads over a specific period of time.
These measures of success are the North Star of the search process and the starting point for determining search criteria most important to agency selection. They need to be achievable and measurable, and include timelines for goals and budgets. They should also outline what your company will deliver. They need to be agreed upon and regularly updated by both the client and the agency.
Many relationships go south because expectations are not aligned from the beginning. Agencies and companies may be tempted to promise each other the world, but when the rubber hits the road, both sides may fail to deliver – and consequently expected results aren't realized.
Having said all this, there's one more key issue that needs to be nailed down before launching a search. Budget. Do not start a search without an agreed-upon budget. The amount of work and effort required for both companies and agencies in the search process is significant. Finding out half-way through a search that the funds aren't there to pay for an agency undermines your credibility. And it's a waste of time for all involved.
Key Takeaway: Determine what capabilities are most important to you before you begin to identify agencies themselves.
Every agency and communications professional has different areas of industry experience. Industry expertise matters on a number of levels. A communications professional who has worked in finance is, for example, most likely to understand the nuances of the industry and its regulatory context.
We need to recognize in the search process that some agencies and consultants may well say they have experience in a specific sector, however cursory. Understanding the depth of experience of the person or team who will work on your account needs to be determined. A well-managed agency selection process provides the opportunity to evaluate this.
Industry knowledge is also valuable when it comes to engaging with the media. A PR professional with extensive knowledge of and experience in a specific industry will likely have strong relationships with reporters who cover it, making it easier to convey desired messages.
At the same time, there may well be trade-offs to consider. Sometimes a fresh perspective brought to an industry can create new ideas and opportunities.
For certain skillsets - SEO, social media and email marketing campaigns - industry specific knowledge is less of a priority.
CommunicationsMatch lists 80 areas of communications expertise. This reflects the diversity of skillsets required for a digital communications world. For the search process, companies should consider which of these they require of the selected agency to achieve their goals.
Although large agencies are able to bring a deep bench of professionals, and smaller agencies or consultants may well have expertise in a range of areas, few can truly do it all.
When choosing agencies it is important to determine the depth of experience required in each area. This will be determined by the capabilities a company may already have at its disposal and the nature of the project. A large company, for example, may have a dedicated social media team, making this less of a priority.
The location of the firm you plan to work with will matter and is something that needs to be considered in the selection process.
For a company looking to launch a new business in Tokyo, for example, it will need an agency in Japan or one with a partner relationship. To generate coverage in technology trades, it may be an advantage to find firms in East or West Coast tech corridors with wellestablished relationships with reporters in their region.
And, lastly, it is important to think about meeting logistics. A lot can be done with Skype, Zoom or other video conferencing services, but nothing beats in-person meetings. The more significant the travel, the greater the cost.
Another key search criterion is the size of an agency and/or whether working with a consultant or freelancer would be a better path. Agency size is an indirect and approximate metric for likely cost – although it's not linear. And, it's definitely not a measure for expected return on investment. Large, medium and smaller agencies, consultants and freelancers, can be looked at as tools for different types of projects and needs. Each has its benefits.
Larger agencies (100+ employees) have the advantage of scale and of being well-known brands, at least within the communications industry. They offer a full range of services and many have multiple U.S. and international offices. These firms have a number of specialized practice areas. Senior professionals are likely to have deep industry experience. More often than not, larger firms will require minimum project budgets or retainer fees.
Midsized agencies (20-100 employees) offer many of the benefits of larger firms, but with fewer practice areas and offices. In general, they will require higher minimum retainer or project fees than smaller firms.
Boutiques (2-20) tend to be focused around key areas of expertise. Although they may not have the resources of larger firms, the principals of these firms are more likely to be directly engaged on client projects. Depending upon the firm, retainers and project fees are likely to accommodate budgets of SMEs and startups. Many SEO, digital or content marketing and website development firms are boutiques, delivering specialized capabilities to large and small companies.
Individual consultants or freelancers constitute a valuable option for client organizations when a specific skillset is required. They range significantly in experience and skillsets, so it's critical to look at their background, current clients and track record to determine if they can meet your company's needs or those of a business unit.
The idea that we are known by the company we keep goes back to Aesop.
It continues to be as relevant today as it was 2,500 years ago. What clients an agency works with, and perhaps more important, how long they have worked with them, are valuable benchmarks for evaluating agencies.
In the agency search process past successes with similar clients is not always a guarantee of future results, but it is one important yardstick by which to evaluate firms.
An additional search dimension worth considering is organization memberships and individual designations.
PR and communications industry associations offer a number of designations that require members to meet certain minimum professional standards.
A membership organization search is one way to find organizations around certain criteria. The PRSA, PR Council, PR Consultants Group, and International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) are just some of the agency membership groups.
Many companies only think about engaging minority-owned firms solely for projects to reach diverse audiences. This is a mistake. At a time when business leaders increasingly recognize the value of the different perspectives diversity provides, we always recommend including diverse and women-owned firms in any search, whether it's for B2C or B2B, and even B2G.
Markets and clients are multicultural, so successful communication requires an awareness of and sensitivity to the range of audiences with which any company will be engaging.
Key Takeaway: A request for qualifications (RFQ) allows you to efficiently check the credentials of a range of agency candidates and determine which are best-suited to receive a request for proposal (RFP). A well constructed RFP is the foundation of highly productive and successful client-agency relationships.
Every project and every agency is different. What may work for one client may well not work for another. Finding firms that match needs should start with a broader high-level search, but choosing the agencies you want to interview will require information tailored to your business.
You should be selective when reaching out to agencies to request more information. Simply put, it's a waste of your time as well as that of the agency to ask for a proposal unless you really think an agency is a potential match for your needs. This is the principal reason why we recommend a request for qualifications, or RFQ, process before submitting more detailed RFPs.
The goal of an RFQ is to narrow down the list of agencies that match search criteria into a shortlist of 6-10 agencies that will be asked to respond to your RFP. Making this process as effective and efficient as possible for both parties is essential. It is important to ask the right questions to get the information needed to refine the list of agency or consultant candidates for a subsequent RFP.
RFQ questions need to be focused on an agency's experience as it relates to the project, determine if there are conflicts that would prevent a firm from working on the project, and understand more about the people who would work on the account.
For some projects, it may be important to conduct a confidential RFQ process to avoid tipping off competitors or giving away the nature of the assignment. For this reason, we offer users a technologydriven path for requesting RFQs anonymously along with a consulting-driven engagement process for larger and confidential assignments.
Developing an RFQ may seem straightforward, but having a process that works for both sides requires a clear understanding and knowledge of what's important in the search process.
RFP Associates has spent close to a decade developing its unique search methodology and the questionnaires incorporated into CommunicationsMatch's online RFQ/RFP process. From experience, we know that using these tools ultimately leads to better search outcomes.
Once the responses to RFQs have been received, the company's task is to review them in the context of the goals and priorities listed in your measures-of-success document. This will serve as a benchmark to select the firms that will receive your RFP.
An RFP is, in essence, the final step in the selection of agencies that will get to present their capabilities and ideas to you.
RFPs require extensive work, so, again, it is important to be focused and only issue RFPs to firms or consultants of real interest. As a rule of thumb, RFPs should be issued to between 6 to 10 companies depending upon the project.
The RFP needs to provide agencies with information about the hiring company, the scope of work, intended budget, and detailed instructions on responding (proposal, presentation, etc.).
A well-constructed RFP will enable you, through submitted proposals from candidate agencies, to understand in greater depth the way those agencies or consultants think about your project, and how they identify and present issues that may be relevant to your scope of work.
In the selection process of finalists, it's again useful to return to the measures-of-success document to guide the process. If a measure of success is leveraging media into social media channels, choosing a firm with demonstrated expertise in both areas will be important. If the goal is to drive SEO, then the priority will be different. And, if the project is focused on building a company's reputation with a very specific group of influencers, again the selection process will need to weigh each company's ability to meet these needs.
One of the benefits of reviewing proposals generated through an RFP process is the ability to see ideas, capabilities and expertise without being influenced by personalities. The evaluation process can then be as neutral, open and balanced as possible.
The personality and fit of each firm is hard to assess through an RFP, but that's the real task of the final stage of the agency selection process: finalist presentations.
Key Takeaway: Finalist presentations provide the opportunity to build consensus, and to find out more about the experience of and chemistry with the agencies and their staffs.
Finalist presentations are the last step in a comprehensive search process.
Setting them up can be hard work. On the client side you will want to bring in people from the business units the agency or consultant will work with. Setting aside some blocks of time for the process far in advance is usually the best way to bring together everyone who needs to be in the room.
These presentations provide an opportunity to dig further into the agencies' or consultants' backgrounds, approaches and ideas. They also allow your evaluation team to question agencies on any shortcomings evident in their proposals (because no proposal, even one which produces a finalist, is perfect).
It's essential to meet the team you'll be working with and see what the personality fit is like. What's not useful: receiving the "song and dance" version of the proposal that landed the finalist agency in front of you in the first place.
Returning to the idea that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, it's necessary to ask questions that help you really understand what you'd be getting if you hire the candidate agency. In the interviews, be careful not to be overly swayed by style; rather, keep the focus on substance. As we all know, some people are great presenters and others aren't. You are not judging presentation skills, you are evaluating the ability of a firm to get the job done.
An agency's track record, its expertise and experience, case studies and the ideas they have for your company are powerful predictors of successful outcomes. Chemistry is also important. You are looking for the entire package.
Once the presentations have been completed, you'll need to ask for the perspective of people who were in the room to generate consensus around the agency you ultimately decide to hire.
A "scorecard" or grid, tied to the RFP and to your measures-of-success document, should be used by individuals to evaluate and compare firms, and as the basis for a post-presentations discussion to make the final hiring decision.
The final selection process will involve looking across the metrics, including fit and costs, and from a quantitative and qualitative perspective, to decide which agency or consultant is most likely to succeed on your behalf – to achieve your goals.
Once the decision is made, it's time to go back to the other firms, thank them for their time and be willing to provide feedback.
Key Takeaway: Getting your selected agency up to speed takes time and effort. It's important to have an open dialog and surface issues as they arise, as well as be clear about budgets and payment.
Onboarding an agency needs to be considered in the same way you would onboard an employee. It takes time and you need to recognize that it requires a lot of learning by both parties.
The process needs to be managed as efficiently as possible.
Having an agency develop a topline communication plan and providing input on an ongoing basis is one quick way to make progress. It is helpful to remember, as a client, that everything you have learned through years of engaging with your company has to be absorbed by an agency in a matter of weeks or months. Getting up to speed is not instant.
Having an ongoing and open dialog between the client and agency during the onboarding process is essential. It takes two to tango, so work and patience is required on both sides.
Understanding working styles and being crystal clear about expectations ensures the best path to success. Relationships can sour very quickly if issues are not raised and resolved quickly.
When it comes to aligning expectations, there is nothing more important than money. Take the time to discuss budgets and billing processes.
Onboarding takes as much time as is given to it. It's a process that needs to be managed carefully if all the effort expended in the agency selection process is not to be wasted.
Hiring communications agencies, whether for PR, content, government affairs or social media, is one of the most important and significant decisions a company will make. Your brand, arguably your most important asset, depends on getting these decisions right.
For many, the decision to hire an agency starts with asking peers who they know. But as we have argued here, going to only those agencies your peers know is a shortcut. It takes you to a limited pool of people and agencies, who probably look a lot like you.
The starting point for finding the best agencies should be a comprehensive search for firms that match key criteria including industry and communications expertise, location and size. The ability to find firms by organization and designation, client relationships and diverse ownership allows companies to focus on what's important to them.
Every search should start with a core "measures of success" document that serves as the North Star for the entire search process. And as a reminder, do not start without a budget having been allocated for the project or assignment.
Having narrowed the number of agencies to a manageable selection of firms, moving from shortlist to hiring requires a thorough, open and well-structured RFQ and RFP process.
Using CommunicationsMatch's RFQ and RFP tools, or our Search Consulting Services, to refine shortlists down to a select group of 6 to 10 to receive your RFP is an efficient way to identify those agencies with the background and ideas to merit being included in the finalist presentations.
Evaluating each firm against the measures-of-success document during the process is the most direct path to choosing an agency with the expertise aligned with the needs of the assignment or project. And, effective onboarding is essential to getting the relationship off to the best possible start.

After a decade-long boom, with prices peaking in 2007, the UK property market started to unravel in 2008 due to the credit crunch, with activity hitting record lows later that year. The banks, afraid of incurring losses, introduced big lending restrictions which led to fewer buyers being able to secure property finance. And that led to prices falling further and banks cutting back even further. First-time buyers, in particular, were prevented from getting a foothold on the property ladder due to the large deposits required.
How things can change, however. The last couple of years have seen a revival in the UK housing market, and there was a strong start to 2015 in terms of net sentiment regarding the housing market, according to research from Halifax. This has translated into an increase in transaction volumes, most likely due to the combination of improving economic figures, greater numbers of higher loan to value mortgages and extremely competitive mortgage rates.
House prices rose by 2.6 per cent in the first three months of the year, bringing the average property price to almost £193,000 says Halifax, and it expects prices to end 2015 between three and five per cent higher than they started it. Nationwide, however, has reported that UK house prices rose by only 0.1 per cent in March but that prices had fallen since the start of the year in some parts of the country. The building society says that the annual rate of growth softened for the seventh consecutive month and stands at 5.1 per cent compared with its recent peak of 11.8 per cent in June 2014.
A third of all house sales are now made to first-time buyers, according to a report from the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA), suggesting the UK's housing market is becoming less hostile towards those attempting to climb the first rung on the property ladder. The report says that 30 per cent of all house sales that took place in February 2015 were to first-time buyers, the highest figure since September last year – and since records began in 2009.
At the time of writing (April 2015), deals range from a 1.89 per cent deal for a residential mortgage of up to 80 per cent loan-to-value.

A couple of weeks ago I drove out to Weld County to shoot some of the many oil and gas drilling operations, wells and machinery that has sprung up across the front range. I was looking to create some iconic images that could be used to illustrate upcoming stories about the industry and issues surrounding it. I also wanted to include a piece of the geography that would link it to my coverage area. Enjoy.
I'm not a great landscape photographer but every once in a while I pretend I am. I traveled up to Peak-to-Peak Highway, a short distance from my house, to make some pictures of the changing Aspen leaves. Every day that I am able to live and work in Colorado I am thankful. Enjoy.

Q: Python Gmail API. Search for emails based on Labels and Ascending Time Order? I am using the Gmail API with Python. I would like to search for email messages using a label, in time ascending order. I am able to search for emails using a label or list of labels with the following function:
def gmailAPIMessageLabelSearch(self, labelList, userID="me", allPages=False):
    try:
        self.GLogger.info("Attempting to search emails with labelList (" + str(labelList)+ ") and userID (" +str(userID)+ ")")
        service = self.gmailAPIService
        if service is None:
            logging.error('Gmail Service not initialized')
            return False
        response = service.users().messages().list(userId=userID, labelIds=labelList).execute()
        messages = []
        if 'messages' in response:
            messages.extend(response['messages'])
        if allPages is True:
            while 'nextPageToken' in response:
                page_token = response['nextPageToken']
                response = service.users().messages().list(userId=userID, labelIds=labelList, pageToken=page_token).execute()
                if 'messages' in response:
                    messages.extend(response['messages'])
        self.GLogger.info("Successfully searched emails with labelList (" + str(labelList)+ ") and userID (" +str(userID)+ "). Number of matching emails (" +str(len(messages))+ ")")
        return messages
    except:
        self.GLogger.error("An error was encounrtered while searching for messages with google API and label list")
        tb = traceback.format_exc()
        self.GLogger.exception(tb)
        return False

However, I would specifically like to ensure that I am receiving emails in Time Ascending Order. So the search should return with the oldest first and newest last.
Also, I am not able to simply download the emails and then sort. The emails are used in real time, so they cannot be stored and then sorted. I am aware it would be possible to simply download the emails and then extract their time and sort accordingly. However, this is not an option. I would need the results of the search to already provide this list in ascending time order.
Is there a way of doing this?
I tried searching and checking the Gmail API for the list() function but I don't see a way. I tried applying "Oldest" label, and didn't do anything.

A: The docs say the the q parameter supports the same query format as the Gmail search box.
See here for which terms it accepts: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7190?hl=en
Some of those terms can be useful to filter messages.

A: As Google mail does not provide the ability to invert the sorting, the easiest way is to retrieve the first page using list, the response then includes an estimate for the total number of results resultSizeEstimate, based on this you can jump to the last page and then you only have to sort the emails from that page.

Somehow in this deal, Kristen manages to protect herself but somehow didn't protect Xander. This could be part of why he found himself in handcuffs in Monday's episode, although again he managed to avoid being held in the Salem Police Department's jail. Xander is determined to teach her a lesson and swipes her Nicole mask, and pulls a prank on her by sending her a Mexican wrestling mask to use in its place!

Lawyers for sex abuse victims use novel approach to sue Boy Scouts of America
The move is designed to take advantage of the two-year legal window that opened in Washington D.C. last May which temporarily eliminates the statute of limitations for victims who were abused as minors, one lawyer said.
Abused in Scouting lawyers sued Boy Scouts of America in Washington D.C. on Monday on behalf of eight victims.Tom Pennington / Getty Images file
Jan. 7, 2020, 8:50 PM UTC / Updated Jan. 8, 2020, 3:39 PM UTC
By Corky Siemaszko
They can't sue the Boy Scouts of America for damages in the states where their clients say they were abused as children, so lawyers representing eight victims are taking a novel approach and taking on the organization at its "legal domicile" — Washington, D.C.
The lawsuit filed Monday in federal court by the Abused in Scouting team of lawyers argues that D.C. is the proper venue because the BSA was founded and incorporated in the nation's capital back in 1910 and the organization's congressional charter states it is a "body corporate and politic of the District of Columbia" – even though the organization is now headquartered in Texas.
The move is designed to take advantage of the two-year legal window that opened in Washington D.C. last May which temporarily eliminates the statute of limitations for victims who were abused as minors, allowing them to bring claims, said Aitan Goelman, one of the lawyers bringing the case. The victims are all from different states where they would be unable to file a claim.
"Yes, this definitely could set a new precedent," said Goelman in response to a question from NBC News.
"I don't want to call this experimental, I think we are on solid legal ground," Goelman added. "This is not designed to be a one-off. I think this provides us an opportunity to level the playing field for victims who live in states where the statute of limitations laws don't allow them to sue."
In their statement, the Abused in Scouting lawyers said if they are successful "then men from all 50 states will have the opportunity to hold the BSA accountable, not just the men from window states with recent legislation."
The Boy Scouts did not respond specifically to questions about the legal move or the complaint, which seeks unspecified damages and alleges the organization failed to protect the men from predators and tried to cover up the abuse but did highlight their dedication to preventing abuse.
"We steadfastly believe that one incident of abuse is too many and we are continually improving our policies to prevent abuse," the BSA, which is headquartered in Irving, Texas, said in a statement.
NBC News legal analyst Danny Cevallos called the move by the Abused in Scouting lawyers "a clever piece of venue shopping."
"The court can assert personal jurisdiction over the BSA in DC because they have a presence there and because federal statute allows it," Cevallos said.
But the strategy could still potentially backfire.
"This is because of the separate concept of 'Choice of Law'," Cevallos said. "For example, even if plaintiff gets into DC, the DC court could still be required to apply Texas law, and Texas's statute of limitations. Courts do this all the time, and sometimes it's not discretionary."
Attorney Joseph Cammarata, a legal expert who has represented Bill Clinton accuser Paula Jones and a number of Bill Cosby accusers, told the Washington Post that this legal strategy faces an uphill climb because sexual assault cases are typically brought in the locations where the incidents happened.
"They would have to convince a court that somehow, although the act occurred outside of D.C., that the corporation is responsible for the act in D.C.," Cammarata told the newspaper. "And that might be a tough road to hoe."
The Abused in Scouting lawyers currently represent 1,551 men nationwide who say they were sexually abused when they were children by scoutmasters and others involved in the venerable organization.
The lawyers made headlines last August when they filed a lawsuit that accused the BSA of continuing to cover up a "pedophilia epidemic within their organization" and said they identified 350 previously unknown scoutmasters and volunteers who allegedly preyed on boys — and whose names were not known to law enforcement or in the BSA's internal database, which critics have called "perversion files."
The eight John Doe's in the new complaint range in age from 39 to 32. They say they were abused when they were scouts in Arkansas, Florida, North Carolina, Nevada, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah and West Virginia.
One of the 39-year-old accusers said he was 11 when he was first abused by the assistant scout leader of Troop 191 in Lake Dallas, Texas, who is identified in the complaint as Anthony Lee Fruzia. He said the abuse continued for five years and that Fruzia tried to prostitute him out to "other adults who would pay to have sex with him," the complaint states. This accuser now lives in Hawaii. NBC News was unable to reach Fruzia for comment.
Paul Iwaniec.N.C. State Bureau of Investigation
Another 39-year-old accuser says in the complaint he was between 11 and 14 years old when he was sexually abused by Paul Iwaniec, who was both his stepfather and a scout leader at Troop 224, which was based at a Mormon church in Morganton, North Carolina. NBC News unable to reach Iwaniec for comment.
Identified in the court papers as John Doe 2 and now a Virginia resident, he said Iwaniec awarded him merit badges "for performing sexual acts" and threatened to "kill him or his mother if he told anyone," the complaint states.
Iwaniec is a registered sex offender in North Carolina.

The Bankrupt the Nation Act of 2009, sometimes called the "Stimulus" bill, looks like it might pass the Senate. The amount of money we are about to saddle upon our grandchildren, if not our great-grandchildren, to attempt to pay back, may be as little as $780,000,000,000. For the sake of comparison, here is a list of how much other monumental undertakings in our nation's history cost, adjusted for inflation. Between the Bankrupt the Nation Act of 2009 and the Great Bailout Swindle of 2008, our government will be allocating funds in less than six months that represent one-third the inflation adjusted cost of the US expenditures in WW2 over three years and eight months. This is fiscal lunacy on a cosmic scale and future generations will wonder at our abysmal folly.

Since Virginia asked…and it's been a year since Mike left, it is definitely time for an update on the kid. Mike is doing really well. He loves Mexico, loves the people, and loves the food. We were a little worried about a boy that wouldn't eat much more than meat and cheese, but he's definitely branched out. He loves menudo, cilantro, and even face tacos (barbacoa).
He's not as homesick, but still misses the music SOOOOO much. He gets an hour of internet time and spends much of it finding out what is happening in the music world and trying to juggle writing all of us.
I don't know how many of you knew him personally, but he does check his email weekly. I'm sure he'd like to hear from any of you.
He's scheduled to come home in October, and I'm sure he'll be hold up in his room with cds and dvds galore surfacing only for food.
