Today starts the new/next generation of CMT. Not only are we beginning a blog where you can read up on all the goings-on with Convention Models & Talent, but we are also moving into a new location.
Currently, all of us are sitting at a Caribou coffee in Midtown Atlanta awaiting the “ok” to come and begin moving into the new office. Why the move you ask? We were in our previous location since the establishment of CMT by Shelly back in 2001. Little by little, she took over more of the basement in the Roberts Building in Buckhead Atlanta. We could have continued taking over more offices; however, the arrangement wasn’t ideal for a rapidly growing company. We needed something more professional and more fitting for the type of business we are in. Thus, began the search for a new home.
Shelly Justice, owner and CEO of CMT, began this search last Spring. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Atlanta, there is a plethora of ideal locations for a new office. However, Shelly was looking for something that would not only be convenient but also allow us to grow as a company for years to come. After a couple of months of searching, she came across a building needing some TLC in Midtown Atlanta. Now, Shelly has the ability to see the potential in anything from people to buildings to business opportunities. That is why she is the owner and CEO of a successful company. She saw potential in the model and talent staffing industry and now 7 years later, we are one of the top companies in our industry.
Back to the building… after we closed on the building late Summer/early Fall 2007, the planning and construction began. The building was gutted and stripped down, so that we could begin from scratch and mold it into the CMT look and feel.
What is the CMT look and feel? It is trend and simplicity. It is high quality and comforting. It is bold colors such as blue, green, and orange. It is clean lines and eye-catching. If you have ever visited our website or office or seen our talent at a tradeshow or event, you know what this means. We are not only beautiful people, but we are also intelligent, positive, and out-going. We are CMT.
As we sit here in Caribou coffee, we are all buzzing with excitement of getting into our new “home”. Some of us have been lucky enough to see the almost finished product, and it is going to be absolutely amazing once complete! Now, only if that phone would ring with Shelly on the other end letting us know it’s time to come help complete the transition from old to new… time to begin the next generation of Convention Models & Talent!
