Dwyane Wade is now a free agent and Miami wants him to stay! We’ve seen the “Welcome to Wade County” and “Good Enough Ain’t Enough” campaigns.  SBC wants Miami to show their support in keeping Wade in Miami: http://wewantwade.com/. This is SBC’s latest campaign for Miami’s basketball team, the Miami Heat.  Get the real behind-the-scenes perspective: what’s it’s like to be the ad agency for the Heat at a time like this?

Miami, Florida – Despite tough economic times, local Miami advertising agency Southern Brand Collective has not just “weathered” the storm but flourished, attracting the attention of world-famous entertainers like Tim McGraw, Pete Seeger, North Mississippi Allstars and Muhammed Ali Enterprises and national brands Nature’s Bounty and Perdomo. How are they adding clients to their roster while other agencies are closing their doors? According to Southern Brand Collective owner Chris Romero, doing what they’ve always done – Hard Work.

Sounds simple enough, but truth is it’s a concept all too rare. But not at this boutique shop. “We’ve got a willful group. We all work together and we all work hard. No one says ‘that’s not my job’, nobody’s above pitching in,” Romero said. “And quittin’ time is whenever the work is done. There’s a lot of pride in what we produce here.”

Now, more than ever, in the midst of an economic downturn, clients appreciate their nose-to-the-grindstone attitude. “When you work with Southern Brand Collective you get more than just an agency, you get a creative and sales-driven business partner,” says Michael McCullough, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of the Miami HEAT. “They’ve been our agency of record for 11 years now and they never get complacent. Every year they think of ways to raise the bar – and keep us and our fans on our toes.”

With an impressive client list that includes autograph-worthy NBA All-Stars and Grammy-Nominated Artists it seems they’re doing something right. So right, that even the advertising world noticed and recently awarded them with nine ADDY awards – awards given as part of the world’s largest advertising competition.

So what’s next for the rapidly-growing ad agency? For starters, a revamped website that fully encompasses their brand and a new Miami HEAT billboard campaign that had Twitter buzzing with pictures and positive tweets.

Southern Brand Collective is a full-service marketing, design and branding shop located in the heart of Miami’s Design District, where they’ve been for all 12 years they’ve been in business. They have experience and expertise in everything from brand development, marketing and merchandising to muli-platform, fully-integrated campaigns.

Bal Harbour Plastic Surgery is Ahead of the Eyelash Curve.

You GROW Girl!!!

Bay Harbor Islands, Fl. (March 30, 2009). If eyes are the windows to the soul then eyelashes are the all important window treatments. Most women, however, aren’t blessed with long, dark and thick lashes to fringe their windows. They have to fuss each morning with a variety of mascara products that promise luxurious longer lashes but unfortunately never deliver. This common problem can now be a thing of the past thanks to a new breakthrough product created by Allergan, the geniuses behind age defying BOTOX™ and Juvederm™. LATISSE™ is the first and only prescription treatment approved by the FDA for deficient eyelashes. It actually helps to grow longer, darker, and fuller lashes. Bal Harbour Plastic Surgery Associates will be among the first practices in South Florida to be offering this product to their patients.

LATISSE™ is easy to use, FDA approved and effective. It’s a once-a-day treatment you apply topically to the base of your upper eyelashes. Patients in a clinical trial saw significant results over time (starting at about 4 weeks with full results after 16 weeks). “This is an amazing product that we are very excited to offer to our patients who have often complained that there was no real treatment for their deficient eyelashes,” says Dr. Michael Salzhauer, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon at Bal Harbour Plastic Surgery Associates. Stay ahead of the eyelash curve; call 305-861-8266 to make your appointment for the latest in eyelash technology.

Indiana Sanchez was born in Nicaragua, in 1988. She immigrated to the U.S. and experienced the challenges that so many of us do. Growing up in extreme poverty, Indiana beat the odds.  She enrolled in Nursing School and found Jesus Christ which altered her entire life and helped to open her heart!

As an already successful model, Indiana’s new found enlightenment and positive outlook on life lead to the decision of giving back.  Through her charity,  The Indiana Save a Life Foundation, Indiana deploys half of her income to help single mother’s in Nicaragua, and where appropriate, introducing them to Christ and what Christ can bring to their lives.  The Indiana Save a Life Foundation raises money through micro loans, personal donations and micro grants.  The quotation “Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a man to fish and he eats forever“ truly applies to The Indiana Save a Life foundation, as they provide single mothers with the proper tools for success.

Indiana is a beauty pageant contestants actually making the word a better place, and she’s sticking to it!  She’s committed to her three C’s: her Charity, her Craft and Christ.  Take notice of Miss Nicaragua, Indiana Sanchez at the 2009 Miss World Pageant December 12, 2009.

In his early twenties, he emigrated to the United States of America and commenced studies in the Science of Physics at the City College of New York State University.

There he pursued a rigorous discipline of learning, devotional service and spiritual development.

Stop Texting And Driving!

Miami, Florida- Recent driving tragedies involving text messaging while driving are evidence that driving distractions are becoming as prevalent as drinking and driving in terms of inhibiting individuals driving abilities.

According to recent driver research by DTAD-SAL (Don’t Text and Drive – Save a Life) and information found on the Unites States Department of Transportation website(s), email, instant and text messaging while driving leads the list as the biggest distraction while driving.

In a national survey of more than 1900 adults and teens with driver’s licenses from 26 cities, DTDSL rated the following behaviors or activities as “extremely” or “very” distracting:

• Instant or text messaging while driving – 46 percent
• Drivers emotional state – 30 percent
• Having several friends in the car – 9 percent
• Talking on a cell phone – 4 percent
• Eating or drinking – 7 percent
• Having a passenger in the car – 3 percent
• Listening to music – 1 percent

“This campaign should be in every newspaper and on every television show around the country. Our impact has to be made now. Communication technology is growing and text-messaging is as common now as was sliced bread”, says Clay Johnson member and advocate. Mr. Johnson says the idea for this campaign and organization came during a business trip to Los Angeles where a horrific accident took the lives of several people. The driver was texting while operating a city of Los Angeles metro-rail. Because of this experience and many others, his company Text-Nation.com has taken an active role in texting and traffic safety across the United States. Recent developments involving texting and driving have caused alarm and in some states like California and laws have been created to stop the dangerous practice. The largest offender based on a study by www.donttextanddrive.org , is young adults (86%). The belief is that if we start to be responsible now, we can benefit today.

Don’t Text and Drive’s mission is to prevent and inform every one of the consequences of using any mobile device while driving. By working with auto-makers, wireless device manufacturers, insurance providers, and other safety conscious companies we can promote good behavior and create technology that allows for safer communication while driving (i.e. voice text, and auto-reply text). How else will the members of Don’t Text and Drive – Save a Life get the word out? It has not been simple. Schools have turned down free presentations to student drivers and some companies that have been approached for support have blamed the economy for their lack of effort. Text-Nation has so much passion they are spending their own dollars to travel, create products and help spread the message. “You can’t place a dollar amount on saving someone’s life. Life is priceless. I’m using all of my resources and contacts to drive this message home”, says Christina Daverne, owner of BRMedia and member. A tour slated for June 2009 has followed this campaign all over the country and benefit fundraisers in:

• Kicked off in Atlanta, GA with special performance by Mykel McKintosh with songs from his soon to be released album “Love Noize”.
• Next Stop…MIAMI.  With Special guests from Slip N Slide Records.  November 14th.

“Our celebrity friends are really rolling their sleeves up, Junior Sanchez, Bryce Wilson, Lupe Fiasco, and Abebe Lewis (Circle House) have all signed on and support this effort and that really helps”, says Daverne. Guests who have confirmed interest in attending are superstars and local celebrities alike. Donnie Klang (Making of the Band MTV), Jonas Brothers, Usher, Hannah Kang (Grand Hustle, T.I.), Chachi (Ethiopian Songtress), Daddy-O (Stetasonic), Shay Johnson (Flavor of Love, Charm School), Don Omar, Mykel McKintosh, Mary Mary, The Kardashians, and Tyra Banks have all agreed that the cause is well worth attending.

Don’t Text and Drive – Save a Life is more than another responsibility campaign, it’s a way of life we should all adopt. Join us November 14, 2009 from 7p-10p at AE District 3852 N. Miami Ave.  Miami, Fl 33137.
