Gray TV Unveils Assembly Atlanta at Grand Opening Gala

We'll file this look under: What our friends think our job looks like…. Anyone in PR knows that a lot of hard work goes into an event like the gala grand opening gala of Assembly Atlanta. And we were thrilled and honored to be a part of it.

Assembly Atlanta is Gray TV CEO Hilton Howell's vision in the form of the city’s newest and most expansive film studio. Picture 19 sound stages and a nearly mile-long stretch of city streetscapes that look like New Orleans, Europe and NYC. Formerly a General Motors assembly plant, it sits on over 125 acres just inside the perimeter. Assembly Atlanta aims to create 4,000 jobs for Georgians and a robust revenue stream that will contribute to the state's $4 billion film industry.

And the party? Atlanta truly showed up! 3,000 guests donned black tie attire and danced to Sheryl Crow, Dionne Warwick, Gladys Knight, and CeeLo Green.

The best part for us?

Beyond getting to work with Howell's amazing Gray TV team and marketing partners, something of this grandeur will hopefully ensure that we don’t lose another friend to Los Angeles or New York for movie and TV jobs.

And for our friends who have already left?

If LA proves too much for you - take that Midnight Train (back) to Georgia - because Assembly Atlanta is here for you!! And so are we!!!
