Sue Wyatt & Mike Dunlap/BrandBank

The Brand Banking Company (BrandBank) was chartered in 1905 after county officials told E.M. Brand that he could no longer loan money on the courthouse steps. He did not move far. He built his bank on the courthouse square. Over a century of service later, BrandBank is the oldest locally-owned bank in Gwinnett, combining old-fashioned personal service with the benefits of modern technology. With employees who live in or are native to the area, they boast a very stable staff. Their employees are encouraged to participate in community service and activities.

MASTERMIND YOUR LAUNCH: Stefanie Jewett with Activvely

Stefanie Jewett/Activvely

Stefanie Jewett is the founder and CEO of Activvely, the premiere social-pairing app that connects you with platonic fitness buddies. Stefanie’s path into the tech world isn’t a conventional one by any means. A recovering journalist, she spent five years covering hard news at CNN, until her creativity breached the spillway and Activvely was born. A Miami native, Stefanie grew up in a Spanish-speaking household with her Cuban roots never too far from her heart.

Living in Central Virginia, Maryland and Washington D.C. inspired her to pursue a journalism career in earnest. This passion for news would see her at the U.S. Congress, National Republican Senatorial Committee, WSET, the Alliance to Save Energy, and eventually at CNN. Working on several projects and shows including “Crossfire” and “The Situation Room”, she held her own among the most elite journalists at CNN world headquarters and the Washington D.C. bureau.

Stefanie returned to Atlanta with three goals: to lift the stigma off swipe platforms solely being used for dating; to help the people of this vibrant city connect; and to enable everyone from startups to established corporations effectively use technology to create meaningful customer interaction and growth for their business.

Stefanie Diaz/Mastermind Your Launch

Stefanie Diaz has always had a keen ability for developing marketing strategies for entrepreneurs, but it’s her ability to position startups for accelerated momentum through personal branding and content marketing that has become the cornerstone to her professional success. Her background includes being a strategic adviser to CEO’s spanning startup phase to over $100 million in annual revenue. She has led strategic partnerships with global retailers and Fortune 500 companies, as well as facilitated multi-million dollar government contracts. There is something magnetic about the energy of startup founders that draws Stefanie in. They’re hungry, driven, and committed to making positive change for themselves and the greater community.

KEVIN O’BRIEN/COOPER’S CREW

There is a saying that “God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers.” How true this was for Cooper O’Brien. He was a brave and strong soldier, but on July 5th, 2014 he lost his 14 month battle against cancer at the young age of 14.

Cooper had a rare form of cancer called Clear Cell Sarcoma. Throughout his fight, Cooper faced each day with a strong, positive attitude. He truly just wanted to be a kid and enjoy life. There are currently no protocols or treatments for this type of cancer. Rare cancers get the least amount of funding for research or clinical trials, especially for children.

Cooper’s family is passionate about bringing awareness and funding for children’s Sarcoma research. Please join them in helping others who suffer. To find out more about how you can help, please visit cooperscrew.org or contact Kevin O’Brien at 770-490-2362 or okevin1@bellsouth.net.
