MUSIC MEETS LIFESTYLE 
GetConquer prides itself on our lifestyle marketing program, and are always excited when one of our artists takes it all the way.

They completely sold out of both featured products on display; Motives Cosmetics and Awake energy shots.

We asked Dawn and Rik where did the concept come from? 
“Rik indio was the Producer of the audiovisual through his company Rik Indio Films.  He wanted to transport us to the lushness of the tropics to show us the sensual side of love by incorporating the bedroom scenes and play of lights to act out the steamy lyrics of the song.  But he also exposes us to the vulnerable and tender side of love by letting us experience the intimacy in a couple who feels content reading a book, the tenderness of a woman helping her man shave and the longing  this man lives in missing that special someone even when he is trying to forget her by being with other people but he finds that impossible.

“Tu Sabes Bien” spawned a behinds the scenes video and a video exclusive made to feature and showcase Motives as the cosmetics brand which was used on both the artist and models.   Motives was been given special placing to ensure branding and “Music Meets Lifestyle” with Conquer Entertainment in all social media campaigns.”

Conquer Remembers 9-11

NEVER FORGET: 9/11 Tribute Post

If you were born before the 90’s, you probably witnessed 9/11.  It’s a day that’s hard to forget.  Though it’s been 16 years since that horrible day, the sorrow felt is something that doesn’t ever disappear.  Each year, the Big Apple shines their lights bright in the sky, commemorating where the buildings once stood.

The city of New York also created a beautiful memorial for those who lost their lives that day, at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum.  If you haven’t been, I encourage you to go experience this heartfelt place.  For as much sadness that is present, there’s an equal amount of hope, and I am so glad that I had the chance to pay tribute to the victims.

Today we at Conquer recognize all of the families that lost someone on that dreadful day, and in case you haven’t heard, here are a few songs from our artists that also pay tribute to the 9/11 victims.  May we never forget.
