How lucky am I?? I had the good fortune of catching Jane Ubell-Meyer while she was taking a short break from her incredibly busy day. Even more fortunate for me, she graciously decided to use that time to fill me in on what she is currently up to!

For the five people out there who don’t know, Jane Ubell-Meyer is the founder and CEO of Madison & Mulholland, one of the most exclusive celebrity gifting firms in the industry. In fact, she is so incredibly spot on in her product choices that Time Magazine refers to her as, “The Goodie Bag Guru”. After over twenty years as a television and film producer, with credits ranging from Good Morning America to Entertainment Tonight, Jane opened her own Public Relations firm which she successfully ran for three years before founding Madison & Mulholland. Based solely on the superior swag that she chooses for her infamous goodie bags, we already know that this woman has impeccable taste, but when asked about the services that she provides for her clients, Jane’s expert knowledge and understanding of public relations and branding truly became apparent. She is a master of layering media. She uses television, magazines, social media, newspaper, video, and of course, celebrity gifting to assist her clients in promoting their latest and greatest products. Simply put, if it is hot, Jane probably had something to do with it!

Madison & Mulholland’s next big event is the swanky two day Charitable Giving Suite and Hollywood Stylists Breakfast, a super posh pre-Emmy award event at the London Hotel in West Hollywood. There are about 32 luxury vendor tables, plus at least 10 more exclusive clients with special tables set up in a separate area. The coolest thing about this particular event is that 30 confirmed celebrities will be creating separate gift bags like their own that will be auctioned off through Madison & Mulholland’s charity auction partner charitybuzz. The proceeds from each bag will go towards the celebrity’s charity of choice. So, RP Report readers… if you have ever longed for a swag bag fit for a movie star, go on over to www.charitybuzz.com and bid away! The auctions run from September 22nd through October 13th.

As my chat with Jane was coming to a close, I realized that I could not let her go without asking the most important question of all. Of all of the gift bags that she has ever made, which one is her absolute favorite? According to Jane, her favorite gift bag is the one that she has developed every year for the past eight summer seasons: The Madison & Mulholland Hampton Jitney Goodie Bag. Filled with delightful noshes, spa products, guest passes and the summer’s best reads, this bag is a fantastic way to kick off the the perfect summer weekend! So fantastic in fact, that I am definitely taking the Jitney next Labor Day just to get my hands on the goodies!

Occasionally, Jane and her staff at Madison & Mulholland will run a Goodie Bag contest for their followers. Now this is never your average drawing. The form may require that you submit three reasons why you should win, and the contest rules usually insist that you give one of the products in the basket to someone else!  One can never be sure when she is going to run a random giveaway or put up updates on what hot new items have gone into the latest goodie bag that she has created, so remember to check her site frequently! http://www.madisonandmulholland.com
