Therefore, I would like to thank everyone who took time to read and responded the various blogs that were posted over the past few months. It's been a great pleasure.

Sincerely,

Improvements

Under-construction

In life there is always room for improvement. After having an opportunity to visit another blog, I’ve realized the importance of including visual graphics to represent the event or client you’re representing. Joseph and Associates a public relations firm based out of Atlanta Georgia, have a charity foundation called Lend A Hand. Their foundation is an opportunity for them to give back to the community. As PREssence begins to make its mark in the PR indusrty we will put into practice the importance of giving back to our community. Having learned the importance of serving the needs of our clients and their public's, it is also the important to serve those who live in the community we serve.

As the CEO of PREssence, I will take great effort into finding alternative ways to get involved as well as give back to those who live in the Tallahassee community and the surrounding areas. PREssence will give back to the Tallahassee community and will also contribute to the efforts of Joseph and Associates. I beilieve it is important to support those who support our community. When we come together we can change lives. Helping one life beats not doing anything at all.

In the future I would love for PREssence and Joseph and Associates to come together and do a community service event in Tallahassee. I think the two firms can positively impact the local community as well as bring exposure and awareness for our two firms. The community service project would be centered on building the hopes and dreams of kids in the Tallahassee community. The service project would be a year long mentoring effort. This will allow the children to have an opportunity to gain and build a long lasting relationship as well as have an opportunity to shadow an associates of PREssence and Joseph and Associates so that they see how a public relations firm I run as well as learn how to conduct themselves in a work setting.

So in closing always remember that in life there is always room for improvement!

Sincerely,

Cierra

Opportunities

As the CEO of PREssence Consulting Firm I believe it’s my duty to shed light on a couple of positive benefits coming to the Tallahassee community on behalf of Epic Lounge. As Epic Lounge seeks to gain more awareness in the Tallahassee community it is important to address not only its existence but also the positive things the establishment bring to the local area. As you may know Epic Lounge is the new name of Tallahassee’s RockBar and will officially go under new management on August 1, 2010. The owners have decided to re-brand the image of the club and change its venue from a night club to a night lounge. With the club changing to a lounge, this will open up a new opportunity for those in the local area. Business owners and their colleagues and handle business at the club and college students and young professionals can have a change of scenery where they too can socialize.

Also, I would like to take this time to remind you about the official opening of the new lounge, which will take place in less than two months. On September 4, 2010 Epic Lounge and PREssence will be hosting an all white party here in Tallahassee, which will allow those in the local area to receive a sneak peak of the lounge and its new amenities. This event will be absolutely free for everyones the only requirement is that you register on the event website for your admission ticket so that you can secure your chances of getting in. The all white launch party kickoff will consist of a scholarship giveaway to both Florida A&M University and Florida State University. The owners of Epic Lounge strongly believe in the importance of education, and BELIEVE it is important to give back to support education i the local community.

We at PREssence also believe in giving back to those in the local community. We support the efforts of Epic Lounge to support the local universities. As the CEO I Believe it is important to take part and get involved by spreading the word about how Epic Lounge is giving back. The all-white launch party will be our first event in the Tallahassee community and we look forward personally interacting with the community.

I encourage everyone who can to again register on the company website to receive a free admissions ticket to secure your opportunity to get in free. So tell a friend and bring a friend. There will be plentfy of free food and beverages for everyone catered by Heavenly Catering. Right now people are trying to cross over to social networking and Epic Lounge is here as an answer to the needs of the Tallahassee community. Studies show that there are a large amounts of people who prefer to mingle with others instead of going to a club where they barely can hear or understand what the person is saying standing right next to them. So with this being said we encourage you to come out and take part of a historic event that will change and impact your life and your community.

Sincerely,

Cierra

A lesson Learned


This past weekend a group of friends and I had the opportunity to plan and celebrate a birthday. Kristin was turning 22, and was very adamant that her birthday be important and speacial was. She constantly reminded us how horrible her last birthday was. So, we took the hint that she wanted us to make a birthday that she would never forget and always cherish and remember. Personally I’m not big on surprises or having a large amount of people around to share and celebrate my birthday with me. I think most people who show up do not genuinely care and about the person who is celebraring thier birthday. So being the PR professional I am, I decided to put my personal feelings aside and do it big for my friend.

For two weeks I and my friends planned the birthday celebration. Together we reached out to the various groups, organization, and friends that we thought Krisitn would want to be there we also used a list of people she gave us. If you ask me there were too many people on the list but we went with it anyway and were determined to make it work. The summer time and a large number of people are not here for the summer we were kind of skeptical about whether or not doing a big birthday extravaganza. My close friend Renetta and I decided to contact everyone a couple of days before the final itinerary was completed. This way we were well aware of who was and wasn’t planning on attending. Based off of the responses we received we realized we weould to need a larger place for the birthday extravaganza.

The party was called “She’s finally 22.” We thought the name would be very fitting since that she is the last person in our crew to turn 22. The birthday extravaganza consisted of a birthday dinner at Harry’s Bar and Grill, followined by socializing at Mint Lounge were you could lounge, mingle and have drinks if you like. The dinner as well as the after party was a success. We had the times of our lives and the night was something I doubt she will ever forget. I think I would perfer a maller group to celebrate my birthday is a bit much but I will say that it has changed my mind about allowing those who truly love and care about me plan a birthday celebration for me. The moral of this blog is that it’s ok to be pampered and allow others to show you how special you are.

Sincerely,

Cierra
