For the last 30 years the principals of JS Marketing Group, LLC has been bringing unique events to the Gay & Lesbian community in New York City and beyond. From the beginning founder James Saunders has searched for unique venues to present interesting events. It started in a beauty shop in Brooklyn where we would throw parties after the shop closed. We partied all night and closed just in time to clean up so they could open for business. They moved on to the South Oxford Club, an old mansion in Ft. Greene, Brooklyn, where brothers networked and parties. We still get comments about people who went there.
Next came the Octagon in Manhattan and the Brooklyn Cafe. The weekly parties continued but the group wanted more. They planned trips to Panama, Dominican Republic, South Africa, Puerto Rico and most of the Prides.
In 1998, Saunders frustrated by the fact that there was no Black Pride in NYC, Saunders recruited other organizations to put together the first Black Pride event in NYC. When all the other organizations lost interest in the project, Saunders recruited the ZenBizness organization to market and incorporate the organization by forming Black Pride NYC, Inc. The Black Pride event in New York City became a must go to event until 2005 when another non-profit organization with the support of the CDC started a competing event which made it impractical to continue producing the annual event yet the organization still survives. It is a compliment in a sense that the programming that Black Pride NYC started continues today with the newer version of Black Pride in NYC.
The next move was to focus on programming for the over 35 crowd that was neglected in the New York market. Since 2001, JS Presents have produced 5 White Party Moonlight Cruises on various luxury yachts in NYC, also was instrumental in promoting the Winter Explosion Getaway, Dominican Island Heat I & II in Santo Domingo and Bahian Heat in Brazil.
Right now the JS Marketing Group is putting together its 2008 season and it is going to be something special. Don't miss out on any of these upcoming events by joining the mailing list today.>Join Our Mailing List We never share the list with anyone for any reason.
