Joe Salome/Social Joe Marketing & Chief Fire-starter at Halcyon Organics

Founder & CEO

Social Joe Marketing is a Full-Service Marketing Communications Agency located in Atlanta, GA. Social Joe Marketing works with clients to strategize marketing plans & maximize budgets to drive client business goals. Our focus is on Brand Immersion creating fully integrated marketing plans to include Traditional Media,PR, Interactive Solutions, Social Media, Promotions, Sales, and Event Activation. There is no such thing as bad publicity…see any politician that has won office after a scandal Eminem, 2 Live Crew, and any Kardashian.

In today’s ninja sliced advertising world, marketers bombard consumers with messages through phones, tablets, computers, radio, tv, billboards, video games and anything else that people see, hear, smell, taste, touch or pee on. Consequently, consumers have become skilled at blocking out those sneaky ways of targeting them.

Getting consumers to hear your message through all the other noise is both an art and a science. Social Joe specializes in making your message louder than your competitors’. Sure, we are traditional marketing and advertising “experts”, but we are also much more. We are smart, we don’t know what the inside of the box looks like, and we are fearless.

Our specialty is developing campaigns and creating ideas that traditional agencies are scared to touch because well we have balls the size of boulders…yep even the girls.

Bottom line is we start fires and spread them. And where there’s smoke, there’s Social Joe Marketing…and probably something else burning behind the scenes.

Leslie Deets/Concealed Carrie

Founder/CEO

“To become more familiar and comfortable with firearms, I attended a ladies’ defensive handgun class, and later a concealed carry class. In both cases, I was struck by the women who came to class wearing holsters strapped to their bodies or toting less desirable military-style concealed carry bags that were far from feminine. So, being the self-proclaimed fashionista I am, I studied the current trends in women’s high-end handbags and concluded that demand would be high for a concealed carry option that offered the utmost in both style and quality of material.”

With function and fashion in mind, Concealed Carrie developed and designed the entire collection of handbags with practical features that include a separate concealed carry compartment that securely conceals the handgun in a safe yet accessible manner. Removable and adjustable holsters are included and allows users to adapt to their personal preference and directional draw. Several styles also offer a cross-body solution with the use of a removable and adjustable shoulder strap. All of the concealed carry purses include a Concealed Carrie key chain and distinctive fashion tassel.

While all that function is essential, what has already made the Concealed Carrie line so immediately popular with women is our attention to fashion and detail. The rich, all-leather styles of the Classic Carrie line include Ostrich Print and Smooth Computer Carry Alls, fashion-forward Crocodile Print Leather Hobo, Smooth Leather totes, versatile Classic Clutch, Crossbody Compacts, Compacts to “grab and go,” and our most popular, Aged Brown and Aged Black Leather Satchels. The new Casual Carrie line includes a contemporary Color Block Satchel, Spice and Turquoise Crossbody Compacts and Mustard Compact Carrie.

Concealed Carrie will continue to introduce new styles and colors for their valued customers and plans to design new lines of products in the near future. “Why should women be forced to compromise fashion for function?”

There is a new girl in town and with the introduction of Concealed Carrie, the market for women’s firearms accessories and concealed carry options will never be the same!

During his tenure at Cornell, Federico helped create and develop the original Sugo in Roswell. He grew the concept to four locations including three franchises. After graduating in 2007, Federico took over a failed franchise location that is currently Sugo in Johns Creek, Ga.

The menu features handmade pasta, traditional Neapolitan pizza, handmade pastries and gelato, as well as contemporary takes on classic Southern Italian dishes. In November 2014, Federico opened Cooks & Soldiers, a Basque-inspired concept located in West Midtown, featuring traditional pintxos, raciones, asador and desserts influenced by the signature cooking methods of the region.
