Last week, OTX Research sponsored a table at an event called Mentor L.A.’s inaugural Promise Gala at 20th Century Fox studios – honoring Tom Cruise. The actor is a supporter of the non-profit, which is dedicated to revitalizing both schools and neighborhoods in the city.

Naturally the entire Sample department was at the top of executive management’s list to attend however we all had other plans, so they ended up taking the VP of the Theatrical division and some Theatrical research managers. One of said OTX’ers is Kazuki, who manages those giant high priority weekend trailer tests.

Here is some eye candy for you from the event - Kazuki with Orlando Bloom and Tom Cruise!

Next week, we’re welcoming a new member to the Sample team. Once we’ve gotten to know the guy, we’ll give more details about what makes him tick. For now, we wanted to let you know there will be a new name copied on the 3,532,364 we send you every day.

Nicole Graves is on vacation! If you’re wondering why you haven’t heard from her, it’s because she’s in the Big Apple for a week on holiday. You’re stuck with the rest of us until Monday, March 11th. For questions about any projects, or just to tell us how much you miss her and can’t wait til she returns, write to sample@otxresearch.com.
