Please accept a warm, "hey there" with a smile from the desk of Kymberly Brantigan!
This is my first ever blog and as I love to write, I am very excited to have this outlet. However, like most whose lives are super busy, I worry about being able to keep it updated.
But what I have decided, is that keeping it relevant, interesting and fun is more important than just adding posts for the sake of having something posted. I look to inspire thought, start conversation, or just make you laugh.
I will discuss professional life as it pertains to Performance PR Plus (PPR+) and The Charlotte Destination Group (CDG) as I am partner and president of both organizations. PPR+ is a motorsports marketing, event and public relations agency best known as the biggest corporate entertainer in NASCAR and for managing all of Jeff Gordon's PR for nearly two-decades.
CDG grew out of Performance PR Plus and we manage corporate meetings and events, and provide conceierge level service in the greater Charlotte, NC area. As the city of Charlotte grew up around our uptown location since 1994, we thought we would offer companies in Charlotte, or who do business in Charlotte, the same high-level services that we offer our corporate clients in race markets around the country.
Both are award-winning organizations and that's because we are proudly staffed with true professionals who care as much about the integrity of the work as they do about getting it right and exceeding the expectations of our clients.
I'll try to keep blogs brief (too late for that on this one, I know). I've attached a short video of me that the North Carolina Motorsports Association posted in January, 2011, which will give you a litte insight into my background and that of PPR+.
And no, I'm not Italian -- which it would seem with the way I continually talk with my hands in this video. Somebody please -- tie my hands down! For the record, with a maiden name of O'Brien, I'm a good ol' Irish girl.
Keep in touch as I always welcome questions, comments and cheap shots!
nit•ty-grit•ty\n: what is essential and basic: specific practical details. I look to write about happenings that are interesting, relevant or just plain fun as seen from my view of the world. I'll touch on our companies, Performance PR Plus and The Charlotte Destination Group, which focus on the NASCAR industry and corporate meeting and event planning in the greater Charlotte area, respectively. I hope to let you into my world a bit and to be enlightened by sharing in yours!
