Ciroc celebrates Atlanta movers and shakers

An evening filled with purposeful networking [and of course Ciroc] commenced as the Diddy driven brand recognized a few of the city's brightest with a fashionable reception in downtown Atlanta on June 29, 2010. The evening's ambassadors, nightlife connoisseur, Yaw Botchey (Certified Ent.) and respected publicist/event planner Nicole Garner (The Garner Circle) welcomed guests to dine and build business relationships. Professionals across a variety of industries from marketing and advertising to gaming and dentistry mixed and mingled.

The accomplishments of Tharon Johnson (Senior Advisor to Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed), Isoul Harris (Atlanta Editor-in-Chief for 944 magazine) and Steve Canal (Director of Business Development for Miller-Coors) were highlighted and reminded us that with all of the hard work we do daily, it is nice when others notice. Blue Flame Marketing/Ciroc rep Claribel Almonte has always been one to laud the performance of her peers and now has an initiative that supports her efforts to support those who affect positive change on their respective spheres of influence.



Ciroc presents Executive Dine & Toast will be a quarterly event honoring 20 - 30 somethings who help shape the city in which they reside and their perspective industries on a national landscape.

Def Jam Atlanta Office Opening

Def Jam's branch is officially open to the Atlanta music community. The satellite office of the iconic label held a reception to allow industry professionals to preview the summer heat their artists were cooking up. Juelz Santana, Rocko, Lil' Ru, Cyhi Da Prynce and Bryan J were some of the artists that were on hand for the private event as I got a chance to provide the soundtrack. What does this mean for the legendary label? Will its resurgence begin with a spark from it's Atlanta bureau? Only time will tell, but it's good to know that the label supports the community and understands that it needs the community's support in order to repeat some of its previous success. I look forward to a number of new developments from Def Jam as Atlanta continues to prove that there's more down here than just snap music. Thanks to the entire staff -- KP, Bu, Dina, T-mah, Regina, Latoya and everyone else that I'm forgetting. Here are a few pics, you can check out the rest at ATL PICS. Thanks Prince!
