Last July, I had the honor of speaking at the 99th Annual NAACP Conference. I spoke to an audience of youth delegates about the importance of exercising the right to vote, and showed them the PSA from CPX’s “Vote For It! ‘08” campaign. The room was filled with motivated, intelligent, young people, and I enjoyed meeting many of them. Before I gave my speech, I was introduced by Tyler Nelson, the President of the Cincinnati Youth Council. Tyler was poised and charismatic, and I remember being very impressed with him.

It comes as no surprise that he is now being featured in a new television series on MTV called “Taking the Stage.” The reality show focuses on students from the Cincinnati School for Creative and Performing Arts. I’m sure Tyler’s natural energy and vibrant personality will take him far, and I wish him the best of luck in the future.

CPX Interactive Donates Fireball Run Car to Child Rescue Network

Posted on 24 February 2009 by cpxinteractive

The week after Carlton Hickman, CTO & Co-Founder of CPX Interactive, had finished the nine day, 3500 mile journey of Fireball Run, he knew that he wanted to donate his team’s car to a good cause. Hickman participated in the race with Tony Pascal, Graphic Designer at CPX, and Sean Beymolla, CPX VP of Traffic and Optimization. Fireball Run is a cross country road race to raise awareness for missing children in partnership with the Child Rescue Network. Each team is assigned a missing child, given a full color decal to put on their car, and hundreds of flyers to hand out along the way. The team’s race car was a special edition Dodge Charger that they outfitted especially for the race.

When Hickman wanted to donate the car for auction, he decided to further support the beneficiary of Fireball Run, the Child Rescue Network (CRN). Jeff Griesemer, President & CEO of CRN, traveled to the CPX headquarters in Westbury, NY to accept Hickman’s donation. Griesemer and Hickman discussed the importance of promoting awareness about missing children, and how CPX and CRN can work together to further these efforts.

The partnership between Fireball Run and CRN began when J. Sanchez, Organizer and Founder of Fireball Run, and fellow board member for the Orlando Chamber of Commerce, spoke with Griesemer about his initial ideas for a cross country race. Initially, CRN was simply going to be a beneficiary, but Griesemer realized just how much they could utilize the cars and the teams to get information out. It was Sanchez who later connected Griesemer with Hickman before last year’s race.

In addition to Fireball Run, CRN holds safety seminars and awareness presentations for parents, as well as assisting with investigations on cases. Griesemer feels that people are generally unaware of the number of kidnappings that occur in our country on a daily basis. He shared these statistics: over 2000 children are reported missing every day in this country; there are over 500 parental abductions every day; and non-family members are abducting kids 150 times a day.

The car donated by CPX will be raffled at several events near the CRN headquarters in Orlando, FL. All proceeds will go to CRN. CPX looks forward to continuing their relationship with CRN and helping to raise awareness nationwide. Please continue to check back here for more CRN/CPX raffle updates.

Meet Carlton Hickman: CTO, CPX Interactive

Posted on 09 February 2009 by admin

Carlton Hickman and Mike Seiman met in 1999 as students at Hofstra University. Beginning as classmates, they would quickly become friends as they joined in a business endeavor that would help craft the current landscape of online display advertising. Though both Hickman and Seiman had a background in computer science, Hickman’s passion was for graphic design. When he and Seiman started out nine years ago, the advertising industry was not in their plans, but today as the CTO of online ad network, CPX Interactive, Hickman is able to incorporate both of these elements (computer science and design) into his work, work that puts him at the cutting edge of online advertising development…

Setting a CPXample™

Posted on 13 January 2009 by admin

“With power, comes responsibility.”

CPXample™ is a catch-all philanthropic division of CPX Interactive, created to use the power of the Internet to support worthy causes, and to help them make the most of this power.

CEO and Founder, Mike Seiman, sums it up best this way, “The original company that we founded, and that became CPX Interactive, was called B.U.D.S., for ‘Brothers Unda Da Skin’, in order to reflect our shared belief in the ideals of equality and unity… and we are thrilled to be in a position to put teeth behind those ideals.”

Our Causes:

Over the past two years, CPX Interactive has been involved with several philanthropic endeavors. In October 2007, CPXample™ supported SaveDarfur.org by donating 50,000,000 impressions across its network, driving traffic to a page where visitors could send e-mail messages to world leaders, expressing their outrage toward the atrocities and genocide in The Sudan.

A couple months later, in December of 2007, CPXample™ developed a new series of animated ads and delivered them across the CPX network (50,000,000 impressions) to assist LiveEarth.org in expanding its database of concerned visitors.

In anticipation of the 2008 presidential election, CPX Interactive created and promoted an unparalleled campaign to “get out the vote.” In partnership with Russell Simmons’ Hip-Hop Summit Action Network (HSAN), CPX developed the “Vote For It! ’08” campaign. CPX worked with celebrities including LL Cool J, Snoop Dogg, George Lucas, TI and Ciara (for a full list visit www.voteforit08.org) to create a powerful video to compel America’s youth to exercise their right to vote. The video is featured on www.voteforit08.org, a website created for the project, which also provided a link to voter registration info, plus photos and event information.

On July 9, 2008, CPX and HSAN held a video launch party at Room Service in New York City. Many of the celebrities featured in the “Vote For It! ‘08” campaign were on hand to watch the video premiere and celebrate with the CPX staff.

For nine days in September and October, a team of CPX execs trekked across the country as part of the 2008 Fireball Run. The CPX Interactive team included: Carlton Hickman, CTO and Founder, Tony Pascal, Graphic Designer, and Shaun Beymolla, VP of Traffic & Optimization.  They were one of 100 teams to take part in this 3500 mile transcontinental rally to support the Child Rescue Network.

Each team was assigned a different missing child, with the mission of creating as much awareness as possible throughout their journey. Carlton, Tony, and Shaun were armed with posters, and their 2008 Special Edition “Superbee” Dodge Charger was covered with a full color decal of the missing child. According to the Child Rescue Network, twenty four children have since been rescued and reunited with their families and guardians. The rally was a success, and the CPX Interactive team came away from the Fireball Run with 3rd place!
