BBE is currently owned and operated by Brenda Brown and John Mates. Combined, the two owners have years of both industry and business experience that forms the basis of BBE.
Brenda Brown-Personal Management and Social Marketing
Many of BBE’s clients refer to Brenda as Queen B, the Queen of Social Marketing and Promotion. Brenda is one of those unique individuals that lights up a room the moment she enters and almost every professional she comes in contact with wants to associate with her outgoing personality and BBE. With that ability Brenda has surrounded herself with some of the best professionals and names in the industry as well as an endless list of many friends and associates that she can call on anytime for immediate assistance and guidance. She has been in the music industry for over 20 years, as well as worked in outside sales from owning 5 car dealerships in California to a Mortgage company in Las Vegas. She has personally managed several artists, is on a consulting retainer with many others and is always giving her vast array of marketing savvy and ideas to those that are serious about going to the next level. Brenda works tirelessly practically round the clock, lives to be of service to others and treats everyone like they are her only client.
John Mates-Business Operations, Management Services and Guidance
John represents the other side of BBE. Although very creative, John generally specializes in providing most aspects of Business management services, fulfills all accounting and reporting each month to every client and brings a great balance to BBE in shaping and molding creative and marketing ideas and plans into financial reality for many of BBE’s clients. John’s biggest asset that he offers his clients is a straight forward, no nonsense evaluation of where a client is and where they want to go. John likes to think of his work as providing a “road map” for success for each client and their particular needs. Business savvy and planning is at the core of most artists’ success. The industry is known for less than scrupulous individuals and companies and John is constantly advising others on what to look out for. John is known for preparing in depth Investor’s Prospectus for raising monies and providing his clients with sound, practical business advice and guidance. John has a stellar history of being a visionary in starting and building successful businesses, and prides himself on surrounding himself with others who he can trust and whose advice is continually warranted.
