Over the past few weeks, I've talked about some exciting developments here at Imagine Media Solutions. We're pleased to finally announce the specifics of our publishing agenda. Imagine Media Solutions is will produce not one, but two beautiful, glossy magazines for Clarksville and the surrounding areas!

First, let me introduce you to our team:

David W. Shelton brings fifteen years of experience in the design and printing industry. With his expertise and art direction, everything we produce will have the highest standard of excellence. Whether it’s a simple business card, billboard, or website - your image will always have the professional standard of nothing but the best!

Christine Anne Piesyk has been in the news, printing, and publishing industry for more than forty years. Her editorial experience is literally the backbone of our effort with these new publications, and her guidance will lead them into a level of expertise and professionalism that we’ll all be proud call our own.

Turner McCullough, Jr. will serve as our staff writer, and will also lead our community relations division. His experience in photography and research are invaluable for these projects, and I know you’ll welcome him to our team!

Dennis DeVincolis brings his more than twelve years of videography and editing experience to the team. You might have already seen his incredible work with the Cheeseburger Charley’s “General” commercial. With Dennis’ help, we’ll be moving our visionary work into the realm of video — and the sky is no longer the limit!

With this team, and a network of talented freelance designers and writers, Imagine Media Solutions is poised and ready to launch these two major magazines for our area. First out the gate will be Business Clarksville, which will be the first bi-monthly, major business-focused magazine for our community.

With the arrival of Hemlock Semiconductor and the introduction of new 21st-century technology throughout our community with fiber-optic networking from CDE Lightband, Clarksville’s business community is ready to be connected with each other in a world that’s getting smaller by the minute. We’ll present feature articles, research data, community trends, and detailed, well-informed analyses — surrounded by a gorgeous design and stunning photography!

With the introduction of Business Clarksville, we’ll raise the standard of publication excellence in our community, but that’s just the beginning...

Just weeks after Business Clarksville hits the newsstands, we’ll load our quiver with Warioto Arts & Heritage, a quarterly regional magazine that will explore our region’s thriving arts community and incredibly vast cultural history. As the title indicates, we’re not limiting Warioto Arts & Heritage to the borders of Clarksville and Montgomery County, but beyond— even into the rich, illustrious Native American history that only enriches our understanding of the entire Middle Tennessee area.

With Warioto Arts & Heritage, we’ll look into the explosive history of Fort Defiance and Fort Donelson, the stunning beauty of the fireworks at Erin’s Light up the Cumberland event, to our deep national pride and honor that surrounds Fort Campbell. Every three months, we’ll present a new, full-color look at the heritage of our area.

Not only that, we’ll showcase an eye-popping array of work by local artists, the captivating stories of local theatre, and the rich beauty of our regional museums. I think you’ll agree that the potential of Warioto Arts & Heritage is simply incredible - and we know that you’ll want to be a part of it.

Business Clarksville and Warioto Arts & Heritage will offer unparalleled coverage for local businesses, arts, history, and tourism. To submit dates, calendar information, or would like to have your business or group featured, please contact Christine Anne Piesyk at (931) 905-1943, or email her at christine@imaginemediasolutions.com.

While we won’t be publishing these magazines until this fall, I’m pleased to offer the opportunity to place your advertising message in these publications that are sure to be on coffee tables everywhere.
