Arkansas Digital Marketing Company Wins Coveted Film Award at SEMA

Short Documentary Showcases Life, Career of Automotive Industry Leader

Benton, Ark., (Nov. 7, 2016) — Engage Target Media, a full-service, digital marketing and production agency located in Central Arkansas, is proud to announce their short documentary film, “Just Kos: 60 Years of Kolor Power” won the Audience Choice Award, “Best in Show,” at the Optima Ultimate Film Festival on Nov. 2, 2016, at the Speciality Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas.

“Just Koz” follows the evolution of the House of Kolor brand from inception to present. Based on inter- views with founder Jon Kosmoski and long-time friends and colleagues, the short film details the tri- umphs and trials only found behind the scenes at a legendary company.

“The very fabric of custom car culture starts with Jon Kosmoski,” said Kristen Felder, CEO of Engage Target Media. “Today, many fortune 50 coating companies benefit by selling the very products he pio- neered. We owe so many things to Jon that, as an industry, we’ll never be able to repay.”

Filmed inside Kosmoski’s House of Kolor shop and lab and throughout Minneapolis, Minn., the film fea- tures personal accounts, family photos and unique look at the builds that put House of Kolor on the map.

Films were selected for the festival through three-part submission process focused on automotive content. Films were judged on story-telling, authenticity, creativity and individuality. Finalists were announced in late October. “Just Kos” was selected as winner on Nov. 2 by members of the automotive industry.

The film, which took nearly one year to complete, was produced and edited by Engage Target Media staff. Credits of the film include:

“At ETM, we felt that the opportunity to tell Jon’s story at the SEMA Optima Film Festival was small way of saying thank you.” Felder said. “This wasn’t a film produced for a corporation. It was a film made from the hearts of the painters that see color through the eyes Jon gave House of Kolor.”

House of Kolor celebrated its 60th Anniversary at the 2016 SEMA Show. The annual trade show is the premier automotive specialty products trade event in the world and draws more than 100,000 industry leaders from more than 100 countries for unlimited profit opportunities in the automotive, truck and SUV, powersports, and RV markets.
