Atlanta – IMAGES USA, the largest multi-cultural marketing agency in the Southeast, has been awarded the Bingenow.com account, an interactive website designed to provide African American students and the Hip Hop community a rewarding experience for video sharing and social networking.  IMAGES will help re-launch the Bingenow.com website, galvanize HBCU students through on campus activations as well as execute marketing strategies for the brand.

IMAGES also acquired Kaiser-Permanente and Synergis Education as new clients this quarter. The agency is working on advertising, market research and public relations campaigns for these two new partners.

“We are excited that Bingenow.com has chosen IMAGES to assist them with the next phase of this aggressive marketing campaign”, said Bob McNeil, president and CEO of IMAGES USA. “We are confident that our interactive multiplatform campaign will elevate the Bingenow.com brand and maximize traffic visiting the site”.

According to George Simmons, president and CEO of Binge  there are several reasons why Binge, LLC choose Images USA as its marketing agency. “IMAGES USA has a strategic vision for growth opportunities in successfully marketing businesses that are strictly internet based,” said Simmons. “Additionally, Binge is impressed with the leadership of Bob McNeil and his team and their demonstrated support of our vision and in understanding the gap in the marketplace that the Bingenow.com video sharing with social networking website is addressing.”

The mission of Bingenow.com is to culturally empower students and the hip hop generation to keep them engaged for social, political, educational, business and entertaining purposes.  It also affords them the opportunity to upload photos, videos, event announcements and to basically expand their personal social networks.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
