Australian Model and DJ, Jen Jones has signed with Tempe-based publicity and talent management agency, Black Dog Promotions, for booking, public relations and brand development.

Phoenix, AZ, November 13, 2012 – Australian Model and DJ, Jen Jones has signed with Tempe-based publicity and talent management agency, Black Dog Promotions, for booking, public relations and brand development. This all-encompassing Aussie has chosen Arizona specifically to spread her Australian-based talent and style to a broader area and audience.

Jones combines the beauty and style of a top model and the mixing skills of a world class DJ to unassumingly take the DJ world by storm.

After landing in Arizona and searching for the most appropriate representation for herself, Jones said, “A lot of companies reached out to represent my growing brand, and no one was going to invest in me and understand my needs as much as Black Dog Promotions. CEO, Scott Kelly and his down to earth team are very personable and extremely knowledgeable. I am excited to be apart of Black Dog Promotions and look forward to expanding my brand.”

Black Dog Promotions CEO, Scott Kelly commented on the firms latest signing, “Jen is an incredible talent that is poised to take the U.S. and world by storm. Since she landed in the valley she has wowed huge crowds in the clubs and made male hearts beat faster in front of the camera. Jen is equally talented as a celebrity spokesperson and we intend to fully exploit all her talents. We are thrilled to be representing Jen”

Born and raised in Melbourne, Australia and from a family of musicians, Jones began cutting her teeth on music at a very young age. At 21-years-old, she moved to American, and then took to the turntables. She hasn’t looked back since. She utilizes her passion for music, technique on decks, and her trademark pink diamond headphones to raise the bar for the music industry.

Black Dog Promotions, a Tempe based firm that specializes in the merging of viral marketing, public relations and social media has acquired GrowAZ.org

Phoenix/Tempe, AZ, October 29, 2012 – Black Dog Promotions, a Tempe based firm that specializes in the merging of viral marketing, public relations and social media has acquired GrowAZ.org, a popular online platform that creates synergistic relationships among Arizona’s entrepreneurs.

The firm will shift GrowAZ.org’s focus toward tech start-ups, offering entrepreneurs and investors a platform through which to connect, explore hot products and services, and pursue opportunities to grow.

According to Black Dog Promotions CEO Scott Kelly, “Arizona launched more start-ups last year than anywhere else in the nation according to a CNN Money report that cites the Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurial Activity. We’re fertile breeding ground because of our close proximity to a skilled labor force, combined with our state’s business-friendly labor and tax policies. Some say Arizona is the next Silicon Valley – and we’re betting on it.”

According to Kelly, who describes himself as a “serial entrepreneur,” Black Dog Promotions offers the expertise and experience to leverage the site, which is free to members to encourage robust participation. According to Executive Director, Jill Howard Allen, the site draws revenue via ad sponsorships.

“What we’re doing is inspiring an incubator for both innovation and enterprise to merge. Our members list their products and/or services, and also collaborate and share information, tips, and advice with other entrepreneurs,” said Allen.
