Project Overview

Client: Elliot Mintz, Legendary Media Consultant & Author

Objective: Create a dynamic, engaging website to promote Elliot Mintz’s new book:
‘We All Shine On: ‘John, Yoko, and Me.’

Click here to check out the new site!

Background

Elliot Mintz is a living legend in the world of media. At just 21 years old, he made history as the youngest talk show host in America, broadcasting on KPFK Radio in Los Angeles in 1966. Over a career spanning five decades, Elliot has established himself as a prominent radio and television personality and media consultant, forging lifelong friendships with numerous celebrities, musicians, and public figures, including John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Bob Dylan, Paris Hilton, Diana Ross, and many more.

Elliot’s interviews reflect his deep engagement with a wide array of cultural and intellectual spheres. He has spoken with iconic musicians, exploring their artistic processes and personal philosophies, while also connecting with influential figures in politics, literature, and activism. His diverse interests and genuine curiosity shine through in every conversation.

The Challenge

Elliot needed a modern, stylish digital platform to not only promote his new book, *We All Shine On: ‘John, Yoko, and Me,’* but also to showcase his vast collection of media work and maintain his connection with fans and followers.

The Solution

GANZ Media stepped up to the plate, crafting a WordPress mobile-friendly site that encapsulates Elliot’s vibrant career and personal brand. Here are the key elements that made the project a smashing success:

Comprehensive Media Hub: Featuring hundreds of Elliot’s radio and television interviews, the site provides a treasure trove of content for fans and newcomers alike.

– Book Promotion:** A dedicated book section highlights *We All Shine On: ‘John, Yoko, and Me,’* complete with reviews, excerpts, and purchasing options.

– News Section:** Regular updates, including over 80 book reviews, keep visitors engaged and informed about Elliot’s latest endeavors.

– SEO Optimization:** Ensuring Elliot’s online presence is easily discoverable via search engines.

– **Multimedia Galleries:** Video and celebrity image galleries offer a rich, immersive experience, showcasing Elliot’s storied career and his interactions with iconic figures.

Results

The launch of the new website has been met with widespread acclaim from both his tens of thousands of fans and media alike. It has significantly boosted Elliot’s digital footprint, driving traffic and engagement while providing an intuitive, enjoyable experience for users. The SEO optimization has resulted in higher search engine rankings, ensuring that Elliot’s legacy continues to reach new audiences.

Conclusion

Through innovative design and strategic execution, GANZ Media has successfully created a hip and fun digital space that celebrates the extraordinary career of Elliot Mintz. The website not only promotes his latest book but also serves as a comprehensive archive of his influential work in media, ensuring that Elliot Mintz’s legacy continues to shine brightly in the digital age.

Please read this heartfelt and gracious testimonial from the client, Elliot Mintz:

“I am very pleased to announce that today we are launching my new website. I had one up for 10 years with 300 hours of material. It was very slow, a bit clunky and difficult to navigate.

It served it’s purpose and is now retired.

The new one is fast moving and filled with all the info on me anybody could possibly want. There is a ‘contact’ page for journalists seeking interviews and an office number that will take personal calls for me.

It focuses primarily on news and updates on my book.

For its creation, I teamed up with a talented man who has years of media consultant knowledge…..and even better, he keeps my hours!

His name is Aaron Ganz. His company is ‘GANZ Media’.

We did zoom sessions for months that began at 10 p.m. And ended 4 or 5 hours later. He was very patient and i am grateful for his support.

There is lots of stuff about me on the google highway. But this site is the ‘official’ one. I hope you find it useful.

Thank you, Aaron. You certainly went the distance with me in creating my new website. We sometimes worked till 3 in the morning dealing with the placement of pictures, videos and texts. I can’t think of any designer ….. Or almost anyone who could handle my unusual sleep schedule. You did a great job and i would recommend you to anyone wishing to create their own site.”

GANZ Media featured in MB WEEKLY: The Faces of Manhattan Beach

Post by

MB WEEKLY:
The Faces of Manhattan Beach
Meet Aaron Ganz

CEO at GANZ Media

Q: WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO LOCATE YOUR MEDIA BUSINESS IN THE SOUTH BAY?

A: After spending several decades enduring the scorching heat of the San Fernando Valley, I had the pleasure of meeting my now wife who was working in the South Bay. So you could say that having a beach in my backyard, weather 30 degrees cooler, and a beautiful woman, all had a hand in my decision to work here.

Q: WHAT’S THE MOST CHALLENGING ASPECT OF RUNNING YOUR COMPANY AFTER COVID?

A: During the first few months of COVID, most of my business had dried up. At the four months in, businesses realized they had to adapt to the changing world, and with the increased need for Digital Marketing, the opportunities exploded for my business, and have not stopped since.

Q: WHAT WAS YOUR TRAINING FOR BEGINNING A MEDIA COMPANY?

A: While in college, based purely on a love of computers and technology, I was hired in a marketing position for a software company. I was privileged to have an entrepreneurial boss who took a chance on me and encouraged me to grow, learn, and teach myself the skills I needed for the position. Years later, I took a position at Ticketmaster doing email marketing. At that time, they were sending out 1.4 billion emails per year. Working for a Fortune 500 company with a solid team helped expand and refine my skills while securing a professional, comprehensive understanding of the digital marketing space. Based on that foundation, GANZ Media was born.

Q: WHERE WERE YOU BORN?

A: I was born in Hollywood, California, and came out three and a half months early, as I had things I wanted to do.

Q: WHAT IS YOUR ASTROLOGY SIGN?

A: My sign is a Pisces, which is said to have aspects of all the other 11 players in the Zodiac. So we get along with everyone.

Q: WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME?

A: My favorite movie is the Shawshank Redemption. I was inspired by the main character Andy Dufresne (played by Tim Robbins), his persistence in overcoming impossible odds, and learning to get by with the help of a friend.

Q: HOW CAN PEOPLE GET MORE INFORMATION ON YOUR COMPANY?

A: To find out more about GANZ Media and the services we offer, including web design, graphic design, social media, and email campaigns for small and medium-sized businesses, visit:

    • Contact Information: Streamlined contact details for quick inquiries.
  3. Payment Portal Integration:

  3. Keyboard Navigation:
    • Users can navigate the menu using keyboard shortcuts.
    • Focus indicators highlight the selected menu item.

Privacy Policy

A transparent privacy policy is essential for user trust. GANZ Media incorporated the following elements into Eagle Protection’s privacy policy:

  1. Data Collection and Usage:
    • Clearly explains what personal data is collected (e.g., contact information, payment details).
    • Describes how this data is used (e.g., for service delivery, communication, or analytics).

    • Outlines users’ rights regarding their data (e.g., access, correction, deletion).
    • Provides contact information for inquiries or requests.
  5. Updates and Notifications:
    • States that the privacy policy may be updated and how users will be notified.
    • Encourages users to review the policy periodically.

By incorporating these sections, GANZ Media ensured that Eagle Protection’s website adheres to ADA guidelines and provides a transparent user experience. The accessible menu and privacy policy contribute to a more inclusive and trustworthy online presence for Eagle Protection.
