Writing (Bios, Press Releases, Museum exhibit Proposals, Press Kits, Artist Statements)
Event Planning (Promotions, Sampling, Event Activation, Staffing, Red Carpets)
We design standard .pdf and virtual press kits. The virtual press kits utilize the Send-To-Friend feature, enabling a buzz-generating effect. VCDs can also embed into 30 social networks and consumers are able to listen to music, view photos and video, flip pages, read about featured artists/songs, and download tracks, all within a self contained, branded platform.
We've written lots of bios, press releases and one sheets for companies, creative individuals, and non-profit organizations. Here are a small slice for you to taste.
PROJECT: Message Development
Leroy Campbell, artist Leroy Campbell Originals
"This is my first time working with Ms. Jen Farris at ZDennis Media Group and the experience has been a delight. Not only does she bring her education but lends her artistic perimeters to any project. Her personality, smile, and patience is more than anyone can ask for amidst the stressful task. That's what makes it possible to be an anchor. She keeps her cool and doesn't stress during the process. I'm looking forward to the next journey that we go on."www.leroycampbelloriginals.com

"Thanks to Jen Farris from ZDennis Media Group, the International Black DocuFest's inaugural event was an absolute success! As a new film festival on the block, it was absolutely critical that we work with a company that had its "finger on the pulse" of the Atlanta arts community. With her passion, commitment, creativity, professionalism, and vision, Jen Farris was able to work her "magic" in a short period of time to bring media and public attention to our event. Her results-oriented approach resulted in diverse festival coverage in print, radio, internet and even television media (CNN International, 11Alive, etc). Jen Farris and ZDennis will forever be the media professionals of choice for our arts organization.' www.internationalblackdocufest.com
