"But our own quarterly Media Mixers allow everyone to let their hair down and get to know each other outside of client business." "Our vision for the International Association of Beauty Brands is to equip the small beauty business owner with the nuts and bolts they need to get to that next level.  One of the benefits we provide to our members is training on how to effectively court the media," says Toni V. Martin, Director of Marketing for the International Association of Beauty Brands. "Some of our members left with press contacts and interview dates!" Brainchild Associates is the Agency of Record for the International Association of Beauty Brands.     Every guest commented on the eclectic decor and cool vibe of the venue, Salon Aamono, owned by celebrity make-up artist Brittany Allen who has appeared in Ebony, Essenceand JEZEBEL magazines just to name a few publications.   In addition to serving new clients at her salon, Allen is a go-to artist for commercial shoots for companies such as the Home Depot, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, the IRS as well as entertainers such as Keyshia Cole, Rick Ross, Jennifer Husdon, Steve Harvey, Sheree Whitfeild, Algebra and Rockmond Dunbar.     Lucky attendees won sponsored giveaway items courtesy of Design Essentials®, including a limited-edition gift box featuring their new DEEP Fortifying Treatment and Sleek Edge Control. Other prizes included several complimentary salon services from Salon Aamono, including an on-location hair and make-up package for a 1-day photo/video shoot.     Photo highlights from the event are provided below.
