A Note from the Owner - FthreeO 2010: Year in Review

It's been a year of excitement, challenge, and growth. 2010 found FthreeO Talent Agency in its second year as an operating company. As I blogged earlier this year, building a company, from the ground up is incredibly bold, and not for the faint of heart. This year, we learned that embracing challenges made FthreeO an even better talent agency. In fact, our perseverance and social consciousness inspired our tagline: "Be more. Be FthreeO." 

I am so proud of FthreeO Talent Agency and all that we accomplished this year. As an emerging, socially conscious talent agency, our 2010 goals included: increasing our talent pool, booking projects, and broadening our visibility within the Central Ohio region. We were able to meet our goals and more.

FthreeO is about quality of talent, not quantity. This year, we signed Fantastic three Original speakers and models, including: Hondre, Quincy, Heather, & Kristin.
We began the year with a booking for the Central Ohio March of Dimes. We concluded the year booking an editorial for TDC Photography. In fact, TDC Photography has been a fabulous friend to FthreeO, and an awesome partner in many of our projects this year. Alongside our work with the above, we also booked projects for: Columbus City Schools, Hershey's, Home for the Holidays, HP, Mercedes Benz, The Ohio Lottery, 83 Gallery, Brigade Clothing, and fotoimagesbyken.

Just as we made a difference for the above clients, we made an even bigger impact within our community as major partners with: In Christy's Shoes, Columbus City Schools' Career Day, A T-Shirt to Change The World, and AIDS Walk 2010.

We also created FthreeOtelevision, for which we have some exciting projects slated for 2011, including: Made for You & Me, The Obie Chronicles, and FthreeO in Reality.

And so, there you have it, FthreeO Talent Agency's 2010: a Fantastic three Original year! I must thank our talent for their partnership, continued patience, and belief as we build and grow together. Our talent are top-notch artists, and remarkable people. To our clients and community partners, we appreciate all of your bookings, collaborations, and partnerships. Trying a new talent agency is risky. Thank you for trusting and believing in FthreeO, "the little agency that could." FthreeO will make a major announcement soon! Finally, to all of our friends, families, and loved ones, thank you! Your collective support means the world!

In closing, I wish you all a safe and Happy New Year! May 2011 be a fruitful year for us all!

Be more. Be FthreeO!
Obie
