We quietly (within reason, of course) celebrated our 9th Anniversary over the Easter weekend. Our executive leadership and staff took time to reflect and reminisce (over an $850 bottle of Old Rip Van Winkle ‘Van Winkle Special Reserve Lot B‘ 12 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey) about the journey from our humble beginnings as a think tank and public relations consultancy in the foothills of Albuquerque, New Mexico to America’s “third coast” where music entertainment, major league sports, and healthcare converge: Nashville, Tennessee.
Although the agency was originally purpose-built to focus primarily on Feature Film and TV Entertainment, State and Federal Politics, Native American Tribal Enterprises and Interests, and Arts, our aggressive expansion into the industries of Mobile Technology, Music Entertainment, and Oil and Gas fueled 1680PR’s satellite launches in Houston (and the Golden Triangle region) and Los Angeles.
While the last 9 years have been a hell of a ride, we are happy to report that we are, indeed, “still kicking ass”—and we aren’t slowing down as all signs point to our opening new offices in Atlanta and New York by year’s end.
