A Fresh Take on the Good Life: Arvid's Cork Envy

Wine artist Thomas Arvid is known across the country not only for capturing shared experiences on canvas, but also for infusing art into the every day.

Whether he is playing the ukulele or building a boat with his two sons, he is always finding new ways to express himself. This season, The Wyche Group is thrilled to help introduce the newest expression of the artful life with Arvid's foray into a new medium…

“Cork Envy,” the first in the Arvid Limited Edition Sculpture Series, illustrates Arvid continued ability to produce work that reflects care, attention to detail and a delicious balance.

Conceived to work either independently as a single sculpture or as an instillation of several sculptures, “Cork Envy” brings Arvid’s bold painting style into a three dimensional work of art.

Each signed and numbered limited edition sculpture is cast in resin and hand-painted to reflect the nuances of the classic cork and wine stain with the exquisite detail and craftsmanship for which Arvid is known. They are truly beautiful.

Join us in December at Arvid’s annual homecoming show to experience “Cork Envy.” Vinings Gallery: Saturday December 5 from 6pm to 9pm and Sunday, December 6 from 1pm to 4pm.

An Oh So Sweet Celebration in Sweet Auburn

Another slice of Atlanta history will remain intact thanks to the success of a 30-year-long partnership between the Trust for Public Land and the National Park Service in their efforts to preserve the boyhood home and block of Martin Luther King Jr.
On October 28, TPL conveyed one of the last privately owned parcels in the MLK National Historic District to NPS. This transaction represents TPL's continued commitment to preserve the neighborhood's cultural heritage and to recapture the vitality and distinctiveness the Auburn Avenue area enjoyed during Dr. King's life.
To commemorate the ownership transfer of 530 Auburn Avenue, The Wyche Group joined TPL to plan and implement a 1930s-style neighborhood celebration.
A historic car was parked along the street, children played street games, and "John Wesley Dobbs" made an appearance for the special day. Guests enjoyed old fashioned cakes, popcorn, Coca-colas and lemonade. All in all, the block truly represented what life was like when Dr. King lived there.
We were thrilled it turned out to be a beautiful day. The rain the night before pressure washed the block, leaving the corridor on Auburn Avenue brilliantly gleaming for the ceremony.
Numerous special guests were in attendance and an impressive group of VIPs participated in the program, including TPL national president (in from San Francisco) and MLK Jr.'s sister, Christine King Ferris, and her son Isaac Ferris. Unexpected, special guests cam to the event - the great granddaughters of the original home owners.
We also had a terrific showing of media at the event. The Atlanta Journal Constitution, Atlanta Business Chronicle, Atlanta Magazine, WABE-FM, WAGA-TV, 11Alive, and WSB-TV all joined the celebration.
The Wyche Group is proud to be a part of the efforts to ensure the character of Sweet Auburn and the neighborhood that nurtured Dr. King and his vision will be preserved forever.

The awe inspiring vocals, organized by musical conductor Jamie Shiell, harmonized with the brilliant décor and added to the buzz of excitement. The gallery was filled with friends, supporters and Womenetics community participants to witness the dramatic reveal of the Web site and to enjoy delicious hors d’oeurves by Avalon Catering, Wo-Mandarin Blushes courtesy of Absolut, the surrounding artwork, and scintillating conversation.

The Wyche Group advancing yet another outstanding cause: Cox Conserves Heroes

At The Wyche Group “PR with a purpose” is not just our slogan, it’s our mantra. Working with companies and causes aiming to make the world a better place, we are constantly humbled by the incredible and selfless people surrounding us.

So it is with this in mind that we are proud that The Wyche Group is advancing yet another outstanding cause, the Cox Conserves Heroes program hosted by WSB-TV Channel 2 and The Trust for Public Land.

This program is seeking out and honoring individuals in our community who are dedicated to the conservation of the Atlanta area. Needed are nominations of those who are helping to create, preserve or enhance places for everyone to enjoy - parks, greenways, gardens, waterways, plazas, streets and public squares. By improving our shared environment, these conservation heroes make Atlanta a better place for everyone to live.

You may know someone who might qualify as a Cox Conserves Hero and we encourage you to pass this call for nominations along to others involved in special interest groups, environmental clubs, civic organizations and the like. Nominations will be taken from May 26 until June 19 at http://www.wsbtv.com/community/index.html.

“The Trust for Public Land’s mission is to conserve land for people to use and enjoy forever, so we are thrilled to partner with Cox to identify and honor people who are making a personal difference in Atlanta,” said TPL’s Executive Director, Helen Tapp. “We’re fortunate to have engaged citizens who want to be actively involved in creating more green spaces, promoting environmental best practices and enhancing the quality of life in the metro area.”

Following the nomination stage, finalists will be selected by the Cox Conserves Judging Circle, a group of local civic leaders. Their stories can be accessed through www.wsbtv.com/community, so the public can learn more about the finalists before voting. By showcasing these unsung heroes, WSB-TV and TPL hope to inspire more people to take an active role in neighborhood conservation activities.

The finalist receiving the most online votes will be named the Cox Conserves Hero and will receive a $5,000 donation to give to the environmental nonprofit of his or her choice. The winner will be announced in September.

The Cox Conserves Heroes program was created in 2007 through a partnership between The Trust for Public Land and Cox Enterprises, the parent company of WSB-TV. The partnership stems from Cox Enterprises’ national Cox Conserves program designed to reduce the company’s carbon footprint by 20 percent by 2017, and promote eco-friendly behavior among its employees, communities and other corporations. The Cox Conserves Heroes program is active in Seattle and San Diego and will launch in San Francisco and New Orleans this year.

Here at The Wyche Group we are excited to be working with the Trust for Public Land once again. The coming weeks of nominations will be an exciting time for everyone involved and we hope that you will participate in Cox Conserves Heroes.

Don’t miss the latest ground-breaking HBO Documentary The Alzheimer’s Project

Did you know that every 70 seconds, someone in America is diagnosed with Alzheimer's? In the U.S. alone, there are currently 5 million diagnosed cases of Alzheimer’s and it is the 5th leading cause of death. Alzheimer’s is the second most feared illness in America after cancer (MetLife Foundation Alzheimer’s Survey). One of the most shocking statistics is that Alzheimer’s will cost the nation $210 billion a year by the year 2015 in the form of Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries (Alzheimer’s Association report on Facts and Figures about Alzheimer’s disease in the United States, 2007). It is because of these staggering statistics that The Wyche Group was honored to help promote the advance screening of HBO’s latest documentary series The Alzheimer’s Project held at Emory Conference Center & Hotel on Saturday, May 2.

The Alzheimer’s Project will debut nationally on HBO on May 10 as a 4-part series, but a select group of Atlantans will see two segments titled Momentum in Science before the national release. The screening is followed by a panel discussion with Emory’s Alzheimer’s research neurologists, Dr. Allan Levey and Dr. Jim Lah, and other Alzheimer’s experts.

Panelists Dr. Levey and Dr. Lah are two of the nation’s leading researchers in the field of Alzheimer’s treatment and prevention. Drs. Levey and Lah focus their search for a cure on research and clinical trials, moving the body of knowledge on Alzheimer's foward with a greater understanding. Emory University is one of only 32 designated National Institute on Aging ADRC’s and the only one in Georgia. There are currently 12 clinical trials being conducted at the Emory ADRC currently and the general public is urged to participate, especially individuals with a history of Alzheimer’s in their family. Those interested in participating in clinical trials can contact Emory ADRC at www.emoryadrc.com or at (404) 728-6950.

Social Media and the ever-changing face of the Internet

These days, it seems every time you turn on your computer another form of social media has sprung to the front of the class. From MySpace to Twitter, there’s always a new way to express ideas on the Web.

At The Wyche Group, we see a great value in social media, and we continue to sharpen this expertise to ensure our clients remain on the ever-changing cusp of new media. Similar to choosing the most appropriate print publication to reach an audience, communicators now must decide which social media application is most fitting. It is critical to monitor, listen and then decipher which medium aligns with the company’s identity, message and target audience.

While social media as a marketing or networking tool is in its infancy, it’s obvious that it is changing the communication landscape. Before you devise a social media strategy, you’ll need to know your choices. While the options are seemingly endless, we offer a quick briefing below on the top five. Continue to visit The Wyche Group blog to see our social media techniques in action.

Facebook: (Over 175 million registered users) A social networking site which is home to personal profiles, groups, and fan pages. Features of a Facebook profile include a description of your company, unlimited photo albums, videos, “status updates” and a “wall” where “friends” can post public comments. Facebook also allows its user to create a blog on their profile through the use of “notes” or the ability to import a blog to the site from other blogging applications.

Twitter: (6 million registered users, 55 million site visits per month) A social networking and micro-blogging site where user’s have 140 characters or less to tell their followers what they are doing. Twitter posts need to be short, didactic, succinct and witty. If you can’t say all you want in 140 letters, try adding a short link to the post. Companies have used Twitter in numerous, non-intrusive ways, from enhancing customer service to receiving customer feedback.

For more information on who is Tweeting, read Business Week’s article “Tweets from the Chiefs” (http://images.businessweek.com/ss/08/09/0908_microblogceo/index.htm). Or check out “Twitter as a brand builder” (http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10192490-2.html), for more ideas on how Twitter could help your business.

LinkedIn: (35 million registered users) A business networking site, the user’s profile is essentially their resume. “Connections” should be people the user trusts in business. The site can be used to find jobs, people and business opportunities recommended by someone in one's contact network. A user can also browse connection’s connections, which could possibly garner an introduction to someone they want to meet. In turn, employers can list jobs and search for potential candidates. The feature LinkedIn Answers allows users to ask questions for the community to answer which provides useful feedback.

MySpace: (Over 110 million registered users) A social networking site with slightly more flair than Facebook. Users can personalize their pages with different backgrounds and music. This site is geared more toward the entertainment industry than other sites, which makes it ideal for music/artist clients.

Professional Blogs- These keep interested parties updated and allow the company to share links, news and other information. A professional blog speaks for the company as a whole.

With all of these choices, keep in mind that if you are creating a company profile all content should be company related and follow company guidelines.

According to Heather Oldani, the Director of US Communications for McDonald’s, one must always remember to keep to these basic guidelines when using social media:

-Be strategic
-Remember that through SM you have access to ongoing positioning
-Use a fun and informal tone
-Don’t take yourself too seriously
-Be transparent to all ideas and criticism
-Take the good with the bad
-Respond quickly and accurately to the bad instead of removing it. This shows confidence in your brand and addresses concerns of your consumers.
-Create alignment between departments
-Use communication tools to craft cohesion within your company

As the Bulldog Reporter states, it’s your responsibility to peel back the layers of each network to observe and eventually interact with the very people you wish to reach. Each network possesses a vibrant culture and ecosystem that is powered by context and connected by influential social graphs.

Announcement Signals Launch of Digital Entertainment Initiative in GA

On Friday, May 5, the Technology Association of Georgia's (TAG) Entertainment Society announced that the "Digitainment" initiative is now underway. The announcement, made by Entertainment Society Chairman Audra Browning at the Gwinnett Technology Council Q109 Meeting, signals the unveiling of a program that will marry five of Georgia's technology sectors in order to reshape and further develop the state's high-tech future.

Perceived to have the highest potential for impact by both current state resources and future technology innovation, these five sectors - film, broadcast, music, interactive gaming, and distribution infrastructure -are the focus of the initiative.

A Digitainment task force, along with the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce, has initiated the process by launching a critical piece of the project: the Digitainment White Paper.

The White Paper will provide a strategic overview of the current economic conditions of the state's entertainment infrastructure, leading-edge technologies, strategies and trends that predict the transformation and possible convergence of five industry sectors.

As part of the leadership team spearheading the Digitainment initiative, The Wyche Group will assist the group in identifying challenges and opportunities that will ultimately aid the state in the development of an action plan to economically capitalize on the anticipated transformation and possible convergence of the global digital entertainment industry. Others involved include the State Department of Economic Development and representatives from some of the leading companies involved in entertainment, broadcast, gaming, music, digital content creation and distribution.

"Digitainment may be the digital glue that helps shape Atlanta's high-tech identity."

- Dan Greenfield, TAG Digitainment Team

Quick Bytes:

What is Digitainment? The convergence of digital content creation, distribution and consumption.

What is Digitainment Georgia? An initiative to bring additional economic activity and job opportunities to the city and state, as more companies and individuals come to view Atlanta and Georgia as home to some of the brightest minds and most innovative firms in the Digitainment arena.

How will Digitainment grow in 2010? In 2010, Digitainment Atlanta will launch a proposed multi-day, multi-venue conference slated to bring together individuals and companies active in the newly-defined industry of Digitainment. The conference will both introduce the concept of Digitainment and spotlight Atlanta and Georgia as leading geographies in the core component fields of music, gaming, film, broadcast and digital content distribution.

How will this positively affect our state? Today, Georgia is home to some of the country’s leading brands, promising startups and internationally recognized artists who are shaping the course of the digital entertainment industry. To spur further development, in 2008, Georgia passed legislation intended to make the state a hub for digital gaming and entertainment.
Over the next two years, Digitainment Georgia will do more than build upon this existing foundation. It will serve as a catalyst for innovation and growth by bringing various players together to establish an industry identity and bring new jobs to the state.

Stay tuned for more info about our state's digital future. For more information visit www.DigitainmentWeek.com
