MIAMI, FL, October 11, 2024 /24-7PressRelease/ -- April Masini, author, columnist, relationship and etiquette expert, philanthropist, corporate spokesperson, political advocate, and TV and film producer, was selected by Marquis Who's Who for a prominent feature in the South Florida regional edition of Vanity Fair magazine.
Coined a "media maven," April Masini is a worldwide entertainment industry executive who has lent her expertise to a myriad of projects, notably serving as a prolific author, advice columnist, political advocate, media producer and commentator, philanthropist and corporate spokesperson. With several companies to her credit – including Masini Enterprises Inc., Ask April, and AiFi-American Initiative for Film Industry LLC – Ms. Masini has accrued more than 30 years of excellence in her fields.
Throughout her career, Ms. Masini has served in C-level executive positions to aid the media, entertainment and hospitality industries. From 1992 to 2002, she served as the president of AI Masini Productions, through which she is credited with raising tens of millions of dollars used to relocate multiple television and film productions to Hawaii, propelling Hawaii's film tourism. She also co-drafted two vital pieces of Hawaii's film industry legislation and lobbied and secured their passage.
Beyond initiating and overseeing the relocation of "Baywatch" (rb.gy/w25t76) from California to Hawaii, Ms. Masini, as CEO of Masini Enterprises, Inc., "pioneered the first-of-its-kind cross-promotion between a Hollywood studio (Universal) and the location in which its film ("Blue Crush") was shot." (rb.gy/1ropkg) Hawaii's former Governor Cayetano credited Ms. Masini with "almost single-handedly reviving the state's television and film industry" (rb.gy/soywh3) and proclaimed June 4 as "Masini Day."

Although she has experienced many career milestones, Ms. Masini is proud of co-chairing and serving as event coordinator for the 1998 Miss Universe Pageant, creating and producing nine back-to-back, uniquely themed, world-calls events, including Hawaii's largest weekday parade and the "Share Aloha with the World" essay and illustrations contest for children, Hawaii's largest and most successful statewide contest. The artwork and essays from the project remain on display throughout Hawaii's airports. Former President Donald Trump referred to the 1998 Hawaii Miss Universe Pageant as "the event that established the bar and standards against which all pageants are measured."
A prolific author, Ms. Masini has published four books, including "Date Out of Your League" and "Think and Date Like a Man." Outside of her primary ventures, she is a contributing writer for several major publications, such as AskMen, Yahoo! and Glo, and has been regularly quoted in USA Today, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. Impressively, she was featured on "The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox and co-hosted an episode of "Everything You Need to Know" on the Discovery Channel.
Ms. Masini is the namesake of several honors and awards, among them "Masini Day" and the Masini Volunteer of the Year Award. Moreover, she has been recognized for her revolutionary work with corporate and political leaders, including former President Donald Trump, former Governor Ben Cayetano of Hawaii, the retired president and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company, Anthony Evans, and the former vice chair of Merrill Lynch & Co., Thomas H. Patrick.
