Fairman Group Educates Clients About IRS Deadline Extension

Written on March 19, 2020. Posted in Fairman Group Family Office.

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has caused a significant interruption to our country over the last few weeks.

Taxpayers may now defer up to $1,000,000 of their Federal tax liability. This was originally due on April 15, but is now extended until July 15 without interest or penalties.

Fairman Group Family Office will continue to monitor and provide updates as more information becomes available. If you have questions about your April 15 payment or filing obligations, they will happily discuss them with you.

Written on March 5, 2020. Posted in Blog, Features, Markitects.

Forbes features Markitects’ Founder & CEO, Francine F. Carb, in their article, “13 Unique Ways A Business Can Use Video To Engage Its Audience”.

Ever since innovations on the web made the embedded video a viable strategy, marketers have realized how vital this visual medium is to get consumers’ attention. As companies started to utilize this new technology, and it became more democratized, the popularity of video as a communication medium exploded.

However, there are several techniques that a business can utilize when their chosen medium is video. To make an impact, a company must stand out with their content.

Markitects has been creating more and more videos on behalf of our clients. These range from ‘explainer videos’ to quick promotional videos and Markitects’ secret recipe includes a lot of animation.

Francine Carb, Founder and CEO of Markitects says, “It seems counterintuitive, but using animation as a video can often communicate a message better than a talking head. The reasons are: the ability to create the scene to suit the message, the flexibility to add captions and transition slides, and the creative freedom to make a point directly, rather than subtly. Animation also enables you to feature brand attributes to support your message.” says Francine Carb, Founder & CEO of Markitects, Inc.
