SPECIAL POWER GUEST:
Marci Hopkins
Marci started her career at Fox Cable Group, where she quickly climbed the corporate ladder, serving multiple roles within the Programming and On-Air Promotions departments. Ultimately, Marci was given the opportunity to move to Los Angeles to serve as the Director of On-Air Promotions for FX Network. There she married and started a family. She then moved cross-country to New Jersey. Marci was missing her creative calling and decided to move in front of the camera. This led her to train with John Pallotta, Acting Coach, in New York City, followed by training at Actors Connection, Actors Technique, along with improvisation training at The PIT. Marci saw immediate success in front of the camera and was hired for several Discovery ID Network programs, some Independent Films, Indie Films, web series, commercials, and TV Pilots.
Marci then found her true calling and harnessed her talents for acting, television programming, and community leadership while also spotting a trend and created a talk show titled Coffee with Marci. With the huge push by Facebook to grow its video business, Marci found that Facebook was the best platform to connect with her audience. The show was later made available on NJ on Air, an application for Apple, Android, and Roku.
Coffee with Marci helped others share their businesses and nonprofits, but she realized that there was so much to learn through each guests story. She saw that there was a need to help others on a larger platform. She then created Wake Up With Marci where each guest has a story of healing and triumph. Marci wants to spread hope and happiness through this new platform which can be seen on CBS WLNY 10/55.
