beacon of culture on the Emerald Coast looks to increase exposure
by teaming with Nashville/New York-based Clyne Media, Inc. —
ALYS
BEACH, FLORIDA, September 29, 2010 — Studio
b., an Alys Beach, Florida-based multi-media art collective and
full-service creative event organization, announces the appointment
of Nashville- and New York-based Clyne
Media, Inc. to handle its public relations initiatives. The announcement
was made by Colleen Duffley, studio b. founder and internationally
recognized photographer, and underscores the launch of a new dedicated
marketing program further developing studio b.’s growing profile
along the Emerald Coast and beyond.
Studio
b. is a creative venue that brings together the best of the best and
the up-and-coming in the fields of photography, art, literature, fashion,
design, music and the culinary arts, placing a special emphasis on
the mixing and intermingling of all creative mediums and the ongoing
educational process for all artists and students. With high-profile
events, seminars, classes and informative lectures by talented pros
from around the world, it is studio b.’s commitment to offer
a state-of-the-art and inspirational learning environment designed
to educate, inspire and cultivate an artistic community along Florida’s
beautiful Emerald Coast. Apart from its initiatives in its pristine
Alys Beach facility, studio b. also plans, hosts and co-sponsors spectacular
events elsewhere throughout the U.S. and internationally, including
Italy, Ireland and other exotic locations around the globe.
“As
an international photographer for over 25 years, I’ve had the
privilege of crossing paths and becoming close with some of the world’s
most talented and creative people in a variety of fields, and learning
from them in so many ways,” stated Duffley. “Inspired
by my experiences, I began studio b., as an opportunity to bring together
some of these connections and give back to the artistic community
from a career that has given me so much. Studio b. touches all the
senses — it’s all about the details for us. It’s
not just what you are eating, it’s the presentation and the
plate it’s being served on, it’s the music playing and
how the wine glass feels in your hand. It’s about the art around
you — It’s the complete package. As such, studio b. extends
far beyond the physical footprint of our Alys Beach facility, making
studio b. an experience, not merely a place.”
As
part of a new comprehensive marketing initiative, studio b. has retained,
as its agency of record, the services of Clyne Media, one of the nation’s
premier specialized marketing communications/media relations agencies,
serving the needs of leaders in music and arts, entertainment and
high-technology market sectors. The company will work to raise awareness
of studio b. along the Emerald Coast and internationally, promoting
special events/services and the studio b. brand. Clyne Media will
pursue new editorial opportunities and help focus public relations
efforts with industry editors and independent journalists worldwide.
Agency President/CEO Robert Clyne will handle the account management,
while dedicated company staff will cover media relations, writing,
editing and other marketing communications initiatives.
Duffley
continues, “As we move forward and expand studio b.’s
voice and scope, I am very excited to have Robert Clyne as our official
spokesperson and Clyne Media as our PR team,” stated Duffley.
“Robbie and his group have the right experience and expertise
to greatly assist us in our continued media efforts, and their forward-thinking,
outside-the-box attitude fits perfectly with what studio b. is all
about. We are certainly on the same wavelength, and studio b. is looking
forward to this collaboration.”
“We
are thrilled to be working with Colleen and representing studio b.,”
Robert Clyne commented. “Her reputation as a photographer, and
her proven track record as a visionary to create and implement the
concept of studio b., makes her exactly the type of client with whom
we are proud to do business. Studio b. and Colleen are an excellent
addition to our current client roster, and we look forward to helping
them grow in the future.”
