We all think "How cool would it be to work with celebrities and athletes" but have zero idea of how to get in front of them.  And once we book them, what are they truly like to work with.

Our guest today: Randy Long

Randy Long is the owner of The Pix Squad, a professional event photography company specializing in corporate gatherings, golf outings and charity galas. The Pix Squad’s Mobile Pix Cart has turned golf photography upside down and is welcomed by PGA, LPGA and PGA Canada tournaments as well as hundreds of local tournaments. The Mobile Pix Cart led The Pix Squad to work with 24 pro sports figures such as Von Miller, Ron Jaworski, Patrick Williams and Darren Waller, further bolstering their fundraising galas and events coast to coast, creating a measurable increase in philanthropic donations through the heightened level of entertainment they provide. 

With a degree in theatre and extensive event management experience, Randy and his Squad leveraged that experience to produce jaw dropping photo experiences to increase sponsorship income and extend social reach. Randy was first a small town newspaper reporter/photographer who translated his experience into opportunity when he took a side gig as a mall Santa to pay for his family's holiday spending. Frustrated with the experience, Randy created Santa Magic (shopping center Santa/Easter Photo) and later 

The Pix Squad. Huge corporate clients like Microsoft, United Way, Bell Bank and Great Clips, have also used The Pix Squad to increase brand awareness, corporate goodwill or employee engagement at their events. One of Randy’s proudest accomplishments as a business owner is his Squad Members who often get job offers from Pix Squad clients due to their enthusiasm and work ethic.
