T.MORRISON AGENCY CLIENT KEN FORD FEATURED IN 'THE ATLANTAN'

By: T.MORRISON AGENCY Staff

If any of you live within a hint of Atlanta, then you should be very aware of one of the most desired media companies that calls Atlanta home, Modern Luxury Media the premier luxury lifestyle publisher in the United States. With titles such as The Atlantan, The Atlantan Brides, Jezebel and Men's Book, Modern Luxury excels in capturing the urbane metropolitan lifestyle.

After writing and sending out the press release announcing the historic Heisman moment for "King of Strings" Entertainer, Ken Ford, we knew this would be something Editor-in-Chief, Stephanie Davis Smith would be interested in.  "And I was right!", shares T.MORRISON AGENCY Principal, Tamika Morrison.  "Anyone who knows anything about Modern Luxury knows they love to feature certifiable 'local' celebrities with a national flair. With Ken's great accomplishment, being the first-ever musician playing for the 77th Annual Heisman Trophy Presentation last November, I knew this was something that would make Atlanta very proud that Ken calls it home."

Long of the short, Davis immediately responded to Tamika's pitch with congratulations and that a writer had been assigned to do a feature story.  "I pinched myself but it was believable," says Tamika.

"When Ken and I arrived at the nondescript warehouse for his souped-up photo shoot a few weeks later complete with at least five changes of clothing, huge lights and changing backgrounds, I knew I had in a client what we desire as an agency- a brand with consistency, marketability and star-power."

Leaps, Bounds & Success

Happy Leap Day!?!  It sounds good - besides we don't get to say it except for once every 4 years or so. (smile).

It's been a week of media pitching, writing press releases, meetings, strategies and.....more meetings and  I'm feeling a little exhausted. #TimeforaVacay

But I got some great news on Saturday when a new addition was added to our family - little Andrea and she came a whopping one day before her mommy's birthday and her big sister birthday on the 26th - crazy how that worked out huh?  So if you didn't follow, Baby Andrea was born on Saturday, Feb. 25th and was her mommy's birthday gift. Her mommy's birthday is on the 26th as is Andrea's big sister, Yazzy who's now 4. How possible is that scenario and how often does things like that happen?  Well the possibilities are endless for how and why things end up the way that they do.  Just know that it all works in your favor some how!

We have a big day in our agency today. So I write this inspiring post on a day that is only possible for humans to experience every four years and I declare it a day of TREMENDOUS POSSIBILITIES!

As I put on my 'power cloak' and suit up for today's meeting, I leave you with a bit of how I'm feeling today - pretty darn POSSIBLE! I'll keep you posted!

P.S. Pinterest is a great tool too #GetSome inspiration and possibilities to add to your portfolio!  Click the hyperlink to get a sneak peek into our Pinterest World! xoxo!

I like to say, "With God ALL THINGS are Possible!"
