An Inauguration Ball and A Celebration of Change for the World


We were asked to assist with the publicity for Africa Aspire's Inauguration Ball, Celebration of Change for the World, honoring President-elect Barack Obama and his wife Michelle.

Not such an easy task considering the fact that there are seemingly dozens of Inauguration balls being held that day in DC and around the country. Yet this one is unique, because the organization was founded on the principals that then Senator Obama inspired --to work together in spite of geographical, cultural, political boundaries to make the world better.


Hosted by Golden Globe winner Jeffrey Wright and a performance from Les Nubians, it was a wonderful evening, a wonderful start to the New Year.

Happy New Year!!

"If you can't move fast, you'll be run over by companies who can," says B.L. Ochman of the whatsnextblog.

Don't forget solid planning and contingency plans (more detailed than throwing it all in and aspiring to open up a coconut juice stand on an island in the South Pacific!)

Say goodbye to the panic and fear of 2008, welcome 2009 with creativity and a well thought out strategy.
