PR: The Experience

Throughout the course of this year, I have been a part of some pretty amazing projects.  Whether it was organizing a nonprofit event or attending an event with a client, it has been a wonderful experience!

Former Client Exit Sports

Exit Sports is a social networking site geared towards sports.  My company was responsible for constructing a media kit and creating a buzz in the Atlanta market.  While retaining them as a client, I arranged photo shoots, constructed a 8-page media kit, and landed them a meeting with the inaugural Georgia State Football program.

During ATLPRPros Fall Meetup

Panelist @ the ATLPRPros Spring Brunch

 I have had the honor of meeting some amazing people involved in the entertainment and fashion world.  With Atlanta becoming the home to several movies, designers, and entertainers my market share will surely increase.  The ATLPRPros is a group of Atlanta publicist that share opportunities and offer advice through various platforms, including the quarterly brunch.  I have gained a wealth of knowledge from veteran publicist, such a DeeDee Cocheta of ABC Publicity.

NARIP Distribution Panel in Atlanta

Since I am always meeting aspiring singers and rappers that are trying to break in to the industry, I decided to attend a NARIP panel discussion on music distribution for independent artist.  The room was packed with singers, songwriters, and producers that have a passion for this industry.  This was also a great way for me to connect with some potential clients seeking a media kit or press release!

CR Clothing Fashion Presentation

Worked with fellow publicist, Janelle Langford of Urbansuite PR to arrange a fashion presentation for my client at the Sheen Magazine Launch party.  Although Sheen has been around for year, they celebrated the release of their national syndication.  With over 300 attendees, this event provided great exposure for my client to be featured on several blogs and it will also be featured in the spring issue of Sheen.

Youth as TLC

Cast of Freedom Monologues

Due to my love of working with youth, I have taken on the job as the Youth Group Leader at my church.  With most of my youth looking for a place to release stress and express themselves creatively, I try to incorporate the arts into my teaching.  This event i produced was entitled the Freedom Monologues, since it was Black History month.  The children were given to opportunity to pick their favorite African American and tell their story in a talk show setting.  I have everyone from Maya Angelou to Micheal Jordan.

 Everything that I do is with purpose, especially when it comes to empowering young ladies.  This year will mark the 3rd annual Royal Affair event where my company along with several beauty and fashion professionals, treat deserving girls to a day of empowerment and pampering.  Last year's event was even televised on CBS Atlanta Better Mornings.  With the ability to apply everything I learned over the course of this year will allow me to make this event bigger and better.
