Swag & Online Communities
Antonio Brown stopped by Tallahassee this week. Plus, all about our giveaways and connecting with local groups online.
Launch Tally & Swag
We’ve got swag we can give away. Thank you, Launch Tally! Did you refer CityClips to someone? For now, we’ll do monthly drawings from those who signed up from day 1 until next week to give really cool swag via Launch Tally, which includes Ruvos stickers, Well Connector polos, Launch Tally notebooks and more! We’re aiming towards a rewards system, but not there yet.
Celebrity Sighting
Controversial & Former NFL WR Antonio Brown had a Sold-Out Rap Concert at local bar, Pot Belly’s, and threw his pants at the crowd on his way out. Consider that his form of swag giveaway. | Tal Dem
Online Communities
Another Social Network? Alignable
As of today, Aug. 15th, 2023, there are 6,820 members under “Tallahassee” registered on this steady growing business network. Is this a new version and competitor of longstanding international network called Business Networking International (BNI)? I personally think that this does not replace the value of in-person networking or referral system, but this platform is growing quickly. I’m still trying to figure it out.
TLH Facebook/Meta Groups (Free Downloadable)
My team, JH Creative, over the years has compiled the latest data on local Facebook Groups and wanted to share with the CityClips Community. We plan on sharing information like this more often, to provide local insight and access to quality data. Here’s the latest stats a viewable Google Doc, which you can make a copy of your own or share.
Key Stat: Over 80 local Facebook groups you can join if your interests align

In Honor of legendary Floridian musician and songwriter Jimmy Buffet, Governor Ron DeSantis ordered flags raised at half-staff in Key West & Tallahassee yesterday and today (Fri). Born in Mississippi and raised in Alabama, Buffet started growing his music career, an influential “Floridays” style, in Key West and was eventually inducted to the Florida Artist Hall of Fame.
