PREMIER ACADEMY CELEBRATES 40 YEARS

By: Tamika Morrison/1st Lady of PR

On March 24th, our agency was busy managing all of three client events/activities - it was truly an exciting day that ended on a sweet note with the celebration of Premier Academy's 40th Anniversary Celebration Gala.

The event took place in the heart of downtown Atlanta at the Loudermilk Center. A classy affair, Executive Director, Cindra Taylor looked radiant anticipating addressing the well-dressed crowd of esteemed professionals in early childhood education that came out - not only to receive awards for their tireless dedication providing exceptional early childhood education - but to celebrate Premier Academy for being such a great example of how exceptional an early childhood education is the foundation upon which future educational successes is dependent upon.

Former pre-schoolers turned doctors, CEO's and accomplished men and women returned to say "Thanks" to Premier Academy for a great formative education. And Ken Ford surprised the crowd with his appearance to receive his award while we were viewing his video acceptance speech. That was such a moment - a proud moment for me personally! It was culminated by a dynamic performance by Ken Ford Foundation 14 year-old virtuoso, DeMarkus Davis who wow'd the crowd with his rendition of "King of Strings" Ken Ford classics off his latest CD, State of Mind.

RELATIONSHIP STRATEGIST KENNY PUGH CHARMS HIS HOMETOWN

By: T.MORRISON AGENCY Staff

Last Thursday, our client, "The Relationship Strategist", Kenny Pugh ventured back to his hometown in the Buckeye State - Dayton, Ohio for his much anticipated "Can You Do IT Standing Up?" (CYDISU) book tour and was THE media darling with more interviews than the actual time he would be there.

On Thursday, Pugh interviewed with Vick at The Dayton Daily News and was quite impressed with the level of questions he was asked.  Pugh shares Vick asked questions about Pugh's upbringing and how his parents' relationship encouraged his current viewpoint among other interesting questions. We look forward to getting the published article and sharing with his friends and family in Dayton!

Friday morning, Kenny met with Natasha at WHIO to talk about his inspiration behind the book which led to the idea that he should meet with a group of high school students to inspire them with his personal story of being a 'hometown hero' and the possibilities they have available to them. Oops, school was out, but we hear the interview aired this past Monday and was great!  As soon as we get the footage we'll post!

Click here to see Kenny on Living Dayton shortly after his interview at WHIO, which sparked some real intrigue from the co-hosts!

He also got a chance to hang out with Garth at 92.1 and the Femme Fatale "CRUNK" radio show with his college friend Rich along with Lady Kootore and Nedra that was hilarious!

Pugh's events were very successful and attracted crowds and fans where he showed up.  We're very grateful to Cameron and Natasha at WHIO, Garth (92.1), Rhonda (Living Dayton), Meredith & Vick at Dayton Daily News, Kevin at Columbus Black and the team at Femme Fatale Radio Show!

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!"

Highlights from Evening of Entertainment with Kenny Pugh

On Valentine's Day we spent quality time with "The Relationship Strategist" himself, Kenny Pugh as he hosted The Chat Kafe live at The Cup Gourmet Cafe in quaint Brookhaven in Atlanta.

He was joined by Comedian C. Davis who had our sides cracked all night along with the wisdom and wit of Tia R. Ervin aka "The WEDucator" as they gave insight, advice and encourage to singles who donned the venue with class, sophistication and the expectation to celebrate their singleness!

Keni Myles of The Rude Boys serenaded us with classics and new music that had us all swaying and singing along to his lyrics.

If you missed this event, you don't want to miss any others as Mr. Pugh is taking this show on the road and heading up towards Columbus, Ohio next.  However, The Chat Kafe streams live every Tuesday night at 8pm - 10pm and airs in Atlanta on Fridays at 1570AM.

Keeping Up with T.MORRISON

By: T.MORRISON AGENCY Staff

You always have to be on-point when working in public relations because you never know if one of your clients may need you at the last minute to attend an event or red carpet awards show with them, just as our Founder, Tamika Morrison experienced.  Tamika had the pleasure of being invited to The 2nd Annual Legendary Awards presented by Divas Unlimited at The Fabulous Fox Theater.  The event was hosted by retired NBA player, Dominique Wilkins and his dynamic committee.  Two of our clients Dr. Nathaniel Johnson and Mr. Val Archer (Tuskegee Airmen) attended the event side by side with Tamika. Mr. Archer received recognition for his contribution to American History as portrayed in the blockbuster movie, "Red Tails" and was award honorees, Music Producer, Dallas Austin, Football Hall of  Fame Deion Sanders and Media Mogul Mr. Ted Turner.

We received the official footage from The Wendell Show when our client, One Hundred Days (who's also the recipient of a big win from a major online news site!) was on their show last month to talk about the great work they are doing to help restoration in Rwanda. Founder of OHD, Dr. Scott Sasser and Linda Cox shared the stage, engaging college students on the campus of UGA about their Rwandan journey.  Linda Cox says it best, “It warms my heart to want to help someone who wants to help themselves that much.”  When she’s speaking about Rwanda you can see in her eyes the passion she has for the cause.  You can check out the interview below:

This has been a great week for us as we've had several media requesting our clients, especially, Mr. Val Archer, Tuskegee Airmen and "The Relationship Strategist", Kenny Pugh.  

Special thanks to Tekoa Gospel News that features Kenny Pugh on their cover as well as features on The Black Man Can interviewed by Founder, Brandon Frame, and Brotha.com and an appearance on The Wendell Show at the campus of UGA.  Kenny will also be featured relationship speaker at STIR this Saturday, February 18th in Decatur, Georgia at the Porter Sanford Performing Arts Center. As you can see, he's definitely one to watch!
