Young Canadian Filmmaker, Izzy Traub, Makes Hollywood Debut with First Feature Film 8 Jul 2018 6:29 AM (6 years ago)
Los Angeles, CA, July 06, 2018 — Izzy Traub, in partnership with Lotus Entertainment, released his first feature film “Natural Vice” Worldwide.
This indie-action film has already been sold by Lotus to distributors in Japan, China, Scandinavia, Iceland, Denmark, Turkey and South Africa.
In North America, Gravitas Ventures has released the film on iTunes, FandangoNow, Amazon, Blu Ray, and several other distribution channels.
Natural Vice was written and directed by Izzy Traub when he was 22 years old, and produced by Ace Salvador.
About the movie
Natural Vice tells the exhilarating tale of strength and survival in the face of great adversaries and tremendous loss.
Innovatively shot in only 12 days, Natural Vice tells the tale of Adam LeBlanc, the CEO of a psychedelic drug manufacturing company, who fatally cuts ties with his double-dealing distributor, triggering the wrath of the Mountain Master of a dangerous Hong Kong triad.
Adam knows how to kill with his hands and with a gun as he leads a crew of hardened mercenaries. The Mountain Master, however, is an enemy like nothing Adam has ever faced; a cruel emperor of shadows who specializes in breaking the human spirit.
As the Mountain Master and his minions hunt for Adam, a mysterious woman, Hailey, enters Adam’s life. She inadvertently leads the enemy straight to Adam, and to herself. With only his instincts and love of combat, Adam must not let the Mountain Master break his spirit while he attempts to rescue the girl and save the day.

AdverCalls Files Unique Call-Tracking Patent Application 8 Oct 2012 10:59 AM (12 years ago)
On October 8, 2012, AdverCalls announced that it has filed a provisional patent application for several backbone technologies that power its new pay per call platform.
Included is a new technology for call-tracking which vastly reduces the cost of monitoring the millions of calls that the company must track.
Also included is a serialization process for mobile and browser applications which allows a user to install multiple apps, across multiple platforms, and have their engagement tracked without being signed in to their account.
Both of the above technologies are crucial elements in the company’s pay per call platform which allows licensed affiliates to be compensated for phone calls made by individuals which are referred to the app download page.
AdverCalls Launches National IYP 28 Jun 2012 11:10 AM (12 years ago)

AdverCalls Launches National Partner Program 11 Feb 2011 8:54 AM (14 years ago)
As an initiative to further build out its available lead inventory, AdverCalls is launching a new Partner Program.
The program offers commissioned sales reps and entrepreneurs the opportunity to partner with AdverCalls in driving qualified calls to its clients.
Similar to a traditional affiliate program, Partners share in the revenue resulting when marketing programs are successful. This is in keeping with AdverCalls’ mission, ‘if the phone doesn’t ring, no one gets paid‘.
Training and full marketing support is offered to qualifying Partners. We are specifically looking for partners with networks of websites such as this one on financial advice.
Performance-Based Ads Cost Effective 25 Nov 2010 1:15 PM (14 years ago)
Advertisers utilizing performance-based ads are enjoying higher than average return-on-investment, says AdverCalls’ President, Benny Traub.
“The risk factor in advertising is so high that much of new advertising initiatives suffer less than optimal ROI. The new AdverCalls platform generates and tracks phone calls from interested prospects. When calls meet the criteria of the advertisers, a fee is incurred. Otherwise, there is no charge to the advertiser.”
Other than a nominal setup fee, the AdverCalls system is a pure performance-based ad model.
A fixed fee is charged per each qualified lead generated. While lead fees can range up to $200 each for certain exclusive markets, most industries pay far less than that. How much less? A custom quote is required to determine that. Every market is unique due to changing demand levels and competitive environments and the market is researched before AdverCalls will accept a new client.
Multiple channels are being utilized to produce the leads, including telemarketing, PPC, yellow pages, and broadcast media. Once an inquiry is generated, calls are either routed directly to the advertiser’s call center, or to AdverCalls’ call center, where the prospect is qualified and screened, then transferred live to the advertiser.
To receive more information and find out how you can use the AdverCalls platform in your business, visit the company’s leads blog and request pricing.

June 20, 2010 – AdverCalls announces that it is currently beta testing its performance-based ad platform. The platform was designed to facilitate pay per call advertising to SMB’s (small and medium sized businesses) across North America. President, Benny Traub, states “these tests are really doing double duty, as they serve as our live market tests as well. While the real-world tests will put the screws to the software platform, we’ll be inviting real clients to pay for the service to get a head start on the promotional launch that will take place once the software is operating at an acceptable level.
