We had a walk through, video/photo shoot & staging for Saturday’s Winter Blow Out Sale & Spring Open House at Ski Haus.

There was a fabulous AHA moment when Elizabeth and Jordan realized why they looked so familiar to one another…2 Broadneck Bruins reconnected!

Such a great day! Our summer intern has arrived…

Elizabeth is jumping right into the action and will be helping us rock Annapolis 250, summer events, strategy sessions, new business meetings, Chamber functions, and BNI gatherings.

Something tells me her “What I Did This Summer” essay at JMU is going to be a whole lot more interesting than most of her classmates’! 😉

When getting together in person isn’t an option, google meet keeps the brainstorming flowing and the strategy moving forward. 👩‍💻🧑‍💻🧑🏽‍💻💻

New client. Different locations. Different perspectives. One shared vision.

The WRNR FM Private Artist Showcase celebrated the 25th anniversary of the release of Pete Yorn’s debut album. For many of us, it felt like stepping back in time…we remember those early WRNR showcases when that first album had just been released and Pete Yorn was the emerging artist everyone was talking about.

Twenty-five years later, the music still resonates, the memories are still vivid, and the intimate atmosphere that made the WRNR Private Artist Showcases so special remains as powerful as ever. A wonderful evening of great music, shared memories, and a reminder of why live, local music experiences leave such a lasting mark.

It was fabulous driving over to the show and hearing the new Ski Haus commercial on WRNR. Local radio gets results!

A few months ago, Judy was honored to be appointed to the Board of Directors for the Anne Arundel County Chamber of Commerce, and today was the “official”announcement.

The timing couldn’t have been better, as it also happened to be the Chamber’s “Ladies of Commerce Caffeinated Connections” mixer…a wonderful opportunity to connect with more inspiring women leaders from across our community.

Then this evening, she was back out representing the Chamber at the ribbon cutting for Eastport’s newest business, La Sierra Food Truck, located at Sixth & Severn (just three blocks from Frances Marketing Group HQ!) Ward 8 Alderman Frank Thorp, Senator Henson’s Chief of Staff Beryle Downs, and City of Annapolis Hispanic Community Services Specialist Rossio Smith were also part of the festivities today!

Soooo typical of Judy…supporting local businesses, building community connections, and helping our local economy thrive. That’s just how she rolls.

It’s been 250 years in the making… 🇺🇸

If you know me, then you probably already know which TWO amazing events I’m helping produce for the July 3rd & 4th Annapolis 250 Celebration! ❤️🤍💙

Now all we need is for Lin-Manuel Miranda and Chris Jackson to jump on a train and join us… because we’ll be showing “Hamilton” on the BIG screen, outside on the lawn at St. John’s College — where George Washington, Marquis de Lafayette, and Alexander Hamilton have ALL walked. Their spirits will surely be there with us. 🇺🇸✨ …you’re invited! But if you gentleman can’t come, would you record a quick welcome/greeting for air us to show on the big screen?! It’s going to be soooooo much fun!

And as if that wasn’t isn’t enough excitement for one summer, I’m also making my “acting debut” on Saturday, June 27th! Just wait until you see the costume… 👀✨🎭
