| Mike Ziemer started his career in the music industry at the age of 16 helping out friends in local bands & writing for a small online 'zine called Utterpunk.com. From 16 to 18, Ziemer found odd jobs helping bands while holding "day jobs" at places such as Braums & Hollister. At the age of 18, Ziemer put on his first concert for some friends of his in local Dallas suburb bands, the concert was a succcess & Ziemer decided to keep doing them as long as kids would come & support local & national acts. What developed from this passion to bring live music to the Dallas suburbs was Ziemer's company Third String Productions. Since starting, Ziemer has hosted all ages concerts & festivals with impressive attendance counts as high as 5,000! In 2008, Ziemer launched NTX SHOWS, an online social network based around the North Texas Music scene. The site currently has over 2,000 active members! In 2006, following a cover story Business Week released on Ziemer & his work with Third String Productions & Buzz-Oven, he decided to use his position as an "influencer" to start offering his marketing services to outside promoters & local Dallas venues. In 2009, Ziemer took this a step further & started a marketing company called Media Magic Marketing that has recently become known as Z Interactive. This company specializes in using social media & online marketing to create, build, & grow online communities for restaurants, businesses, bars, venues, clubs, & more, turning online traffic into real business.
