Chicago, IL (PRWEB) August 4, 2005

Bahiyah Woman Magazine (BWM), the premier weekly lifestyle magazine for the spiritually conscious professional black man and woman goes weekly; and is now updated each Thursday. This little engine that would is taking the world of media by storm, and this season’s perfect storm “Bahiyah” is again breaking new ground. “We’re officially the Internets preeminent weekly magazine for black men and women. Our readership and writers have demanded it, and we’re ready,” says Bridgett Hollingsworth, Publisher and Editorial Director of BWM, http://bwmmag.com/magazine/.

With their mission to promote more positive images of blacks in media, BWM is raising many eyebrows in the media and publishing worlds alike. “Four years ago, people didn’t really believe in us. Today they are taking a closer look.” And why not? BWM is getting stories usually reserved for mainstream publications. “I have that no-fear mentality, I guess,” Hollingsworth continues. “My back has been against the wall so many times. When I want a story, I ask for it. I’ve sent emails to some publicists and made calls that haven’t been returned, sure but one day—one day they’ll want to talk to me. I know of it.”

In the meantime, some publicists are getting it. They see the value in BWM and forward their client profiles. Makeda, Agency Head of Jazzmyne PR (Los Angeles, CA) shares her client interests. “It only makes sense.” Ministry Marketing Solutions gets their inspirational authors read in BWM. “They’re the best magazine on the Internet.”

This week’s issue of BWM reads like a media who’s who, including an interview with Dr. Boogie the mane man behind the glam hair and makeup on UPN’s “America’s Next Top Model” and the master stylist behind today’s hottest celebrity looks including, LisaRaye, Kimora Lee Simmons, Gabrielle Union, Tichina Arnold and Raven Simone among other A-list clients. This week’s cover includes work by one of the nation’s foremost photographers, Anthony A. Smith (Chicago, IL)!

Another amazing catch for BWM this season—we mean issue is, Fatherhood in the NFL featuring Samuel McNabb, President and Co-Founder of the National Football Players Fathers Association and Jacksonville Jaguars’ Defensive End, Paul Spicer. They explore, “the human side of football in Fatherhood in the NFL roundtable discussion on parenting from a male point of view.” This column is written by Diane A. Sears, contributing BWM columnist and author of In Search of Fatherhood Transcending Boundaries and publisher of the In Search of Fatherhood Forum for and About Fathers of the World newsletter.

Bahiyah Woman Magazine has brought together some of this nation’s leading writing talent including: Ronald E. Childs (Chicago, IL) their new editor of Literature & the Arts and Verve columnist for BWM, Robin L. Gooden, emerging contemporary writer (Jacksonville, FL), author of Daughter’s of the King, inspirational speaker Gail Hayes, PhD (Raleigh/Durham, NC) and Russian born artist and writer Jane Musoke-Nteyafas (Toronto, Canada). The talent pool is endless. “We are as much in tune to our writers as we are to our readers. This is what makes BWM such a beautiful and powerful publication,” Hollingsworth continues.

“I am thrilled I’ve been able to stay true to my mission. We haven’t had to go ‘thugged-out’ to keep our readers attention. I am thankful for the strides we’ve made.” BWM has certainly carved a niche for itself in the black magazine publishing market. “It’s a journey for sure; but, I don’t get as stressed as I used to. I manage business relationships a lot better. I have vision and a plan. I have a great team working with me, and I pray! I just do me. That’s why we’re turning heads today.”

In an industry where everyone thought only hip-hop could reign, here is a young trailblazer proving otherwise. “I grew up on the real founders of hip-hop. It has its place in mainstream media. That’s not who we are. We’re about celebrating beautiful black images. That’s not to say we wouldn’t interview a hip-hop artist. It’s just the perspective would be different, that’s all. We’ve grown enough as a publication to know who we are. We are comfortable in our skin and our coming of age. It feels good.”

BWM is certainly doing a new thing, and an avid reader says it best, “This magazine is going to be so huge one day.” Watch out—mainstream media BWM is in the house with a mission to promote more positive images of blacks in media—I think they’re on to something.

Bridgett Hollingsworth invites you to visit Bahiyah Woman Magazine weekly today at http://bwmmag.com/magazine/. Advertisers contact research@bahiyahwomanmagazine. Bridgett Hollingsworth is currently available for interviews.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) June 5, 2007

TicketsNow (http://www.TicketsNow.com), the world’s largest independent online marketplace for premium event tickets, today announced the appointment of Cheryl Rosner as the company’s new President and Chief Executive Officer. In her role at TicketsNow, Rosner will be responsible for the overall management and direction of the company. Mike Domek, who founded TicketsNow in 1992 and previously served as CEO, will remain as Chairman.

“We are extremely pleased to welcome Cheryl to TicketsNow,” said Domek. “She has a proven track record as an accomplished corporate leader, successfully growing two of the top online travel businesses in the country. I look forward to continuing in my role as TicketsNow Chairman and working directly with Cheryl to create strategies that will drive TicketsNow to the leadership position in the industry.”

In her new role as TicketsNow President and CEO, Rosner will work closely with Domek and other members of the executive team in developing strategies that will produce new offerings for consumers and foster future business growth.

“I am very excited about joining TicketsNow and helping the company reach its full potential,” said Rosner. “TicketsNow currently enjoys a strong position in the industry, and I am honored to be leading the team that will achieve even greater success for TicketsNow.”

Rosner was instrumental in leading both Expedia Corporate Travel and Hotels.com to unprecedented success. While serving as president of Expedia Corporate Travel from 2005 to 2006, Rosner directed the group to consistent profitability including the successful launch of two new international divisions in Canada and Germany.

Prior to Expedia, Rosner worked at Hotels.com from 1999 to 2005 in a number of executive capacities including business development, supplier relations, marketing, and sales prior to becoming president of the company in 2003. Rosner’s key accomplishments at Hotels.com include the successful launch of the company’s consumer Web site in 2002 leading it to become the 6th most-visited travel site 60 days after launch, creation and development of the company brand strategy and award-winning advertising campaign.

In 2004, Rosner was named one of the “25 Most Influential People in Travel” by Business Travel News. A native of Cherry Hill, New Jersey, Rosner earned her bachelor’s degree in Marketing at the University of Miami.

TicketsNow has had a very active year and a half to date. In April, the company closed on its first round of institutional funding by raising $ 34 million from a series of venture capital firms. The company recently was named to Crain’s Chicago Business’ Fast Fifty and was a finalist in the prestigious Red Herring 100 award.

“Cheryl’s solid experience in leading burgeoning companies, including her participation in Hotels.com’s successful IPO in 2000, will serve to further accelerate TicketsNow’s extraordinary corporate growth,” said Matthew Crisp, a General Partner at Adams Street Partners and member of the TicketsNow Board of Directors. “We are anxious to begin working closely with Cheryl to continue to set and accomplish our strategic goals for the company.”

In 2006, TicketsNow unveiled an innovative Web 2.0 platform that features customizable offerings not found within the secondary ticketing industry, allowing customers to easily locate and buy their tickets, as well as plan and remember every element of their event. TicketsNow also offers the highest level of security unmatched within the industry by allowing only professional, certified resellers to list tickets on the company’s secure marketplace.

Also last year, TicketsNow entered into exclusive relationships with several professional sports franchises and collegiate athletic teams including the Baltimore Ravens, Jacksonville Jaguars, University of Louisville, Arizona State University, Texas Christian University, and Princeton University. Additionally, TicketsNow was again named to the Inc. 500 index of the fastest-growing privately held companies in the U.S, the second time in three years the company has been so honored.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) September 14, 2006

TicketsNow, the world?s largest and most secure marketplace for sports, concert and theater tickets, has launched a new website designed with the assistance of San Francisco integrated agency Mortar. TicketsNow is the latest fast-moving company to re-brand its offering using the Mortar360 approach to brand development.

?Getting great seats to fantastic events is the new social currency. People who care about live entertainment turn to TicketsNow for access to the events that they must see,? comments Mark Williams, one of Mortar?s Founding Partners. ?Because of the ease of comparison shopping, loyalty in online ticketing is scarce. TicketsNow, with its new brand identity, has a real opportunity to convert indifferent consumers into long-term customers.?

?Through extensive research, consumers told us that attending great events was all about the experience,? adds Kenneth Dotson, Chief Marketing Officer of TicketsNow. ?That?s why our new brand identity focuses on the experience and why our new online destination is designed to add value to the consumer?s total event experience both before and after the event.?

Mortar?s work for TicketsNow included a complete rebranding including logo, stationery and a refreshed website. Visit http://www.ticketsnow.com to see the work.

There’s no other event experience quite like it.

As the Chicago Cubs surged to the top of their division standings, the team’s loyal fan base came out in droves in July as the Cubs became the top ticket seller for the month on TicketsNow, according to the TicketsNow Entertainment Index for July. The Cubs’ first-place ranking ended the two-month streak of the Boston Red Sox, who dropped to third overall behind Wicked, which retained the number two position.

Performing overseas until October, The Police reunion tour slipped to number 11 overall. The Police — who still managed to retain the top spot in the Concert category — accounted for 1.7% of all tickets sold on TicketsNow. The legendary trio returns stateside for a Halloween show at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

In the Theater category, Wicked continued its run as the leader with 5.7% of tickets sold. The production’s closest competition was Broadway favorite Jersey Boys (3.3%). These two shows represented the only non-baseball events to crack the overall top 10 sellers on TicketsNow in July.

LTAB is similar to the numerous successful corporate spelling bees held in communities around the nation every year. However, instead of spelling obscure words, adults participating in LTAB will define obscure technology acronyms. Participants form corporate teams to compete for the title, prizes, the LTAB Champion Trophy Cup and bragging rights. All of the proceeds will benefit the National Center for Family Literacy, recognized internationally as the leader in family literacy.

The event is organized by Peak 10, the Southeast’s leading data center operator and managed services provider. It will be held October 26 at Louisville Slugger Field in Louisville, Kentucky from 11:30 a.m. ? 2:00 p.m.

?We?re really pleased to be working with Peak 10 to help raise money for the National Center for Family Literacy. We feel that literacy is so fundamental to success in life and in technology. The Acronym Bee is a really fun concept, and it?s such a great fit with what we do,? said Mike Molloy, founder and developer of AcronymFinder.com.

More than 30 million adults in the U.S. lack the skills to complete a job application, vote, use the Internet, or read a bedtime story to a child, according to the National Assessment of Adult Literacy.

?The support NCFL receives from this entertaining event enhances our ability to meet the educational and economic needs of at-risk children and families across the nation,? said NCFL president and founder Sharon Darling.

Shannon McIntyre-Alward, Director of Marketing at Peak 10, says, ?We are pleased to coordinate LTAB, which since its inception, has raised nearly $ 50,000 for NCFL. We are thrilled to bring together so many people in the technology community for such a worthy cause.?
