Stacey Wade shared thisHonored. Grateful. Inspired. Thank you to the EY East Central team for this incredible recognition as part of the Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2025 class. It’s humbling to be part of a group that reflects the bold, brilliant, and resilient spirit of this region — a community that’s truly shaping what’s next. I also want to thank my entire team NIMBUS, Inc. — none of this is possible without your passion, creativity, and commitment to the work we do every day. To Dr. Dawn Wade, you continue to be at my six at all times, and I'm thankful. Congratulations. And, to all of our client/partners, thank you for believing. As entrepreneurs, we don’t do this work for awards — but moments like this are a powerful reminder of why we push, build, and dream a little bigger every day. I’m excited for what’s ahead, and proud to represent Louisville alongside so many remarkable leaders.

Stacey Wade liked thisStacey Wade liked thisPepsiCo is proud to partner with KFC to bring bold, flavor-forward innovation to menus nationwide with the launch of Supergirl’s x Starry Kryptonian Kooler. This is more than an LTO — it reflects a broader shift we’re seeing across QSR. Crafted beverages are quickly becoming a meaningful growth driver, giving operators a way to unlock higher ticket, stronger margins, and create true menu destinations that resonate with younger consumers. Available for a limited time as part of the Supergirl Ultimate Meal or on its own, it’s another example of how we’re working with partners to elevate the role of beverages as a destination — from add-on to experience. Get it before it flies off menus. 🚀 Thanks to Brendan and Neehan for their hard work to get this launch ready with our friends at KFC. #Supergirl #KFC #PepsiCo #Starry #BeverageInnovation #MenuInnovation #QSR #LTO #Partnerships Chris Turner Scott Mezvinsky Catherine Tan-Gillespie Tiffany Furman Sarah Crow Joan Bowling Mike Kulp Justin Stewart Ron Gardner Kevin Schlutz Anne Fink Jean Jakoby Megan Watts Angela Topel Scott Finlow Michael Walton Neehan Sheikh Bongiorni Brendan Mallick

SOUL of Greatness is a campaign and video series that SOUL Electronics launched in May 2012 in support of the headphones. The campaign follows the stories of several world-class champions in varying categories of achievement, such as athletics and music. In these spots, the SOUL brand ambassadors use SOUL headphones as a tool for preparation and motivation in each of their respective crafts. The series launched with a spot featuring track & field superstar and fastest man alive, Usain Bolt, who is shown reflecting on where he has been and what he has overcome. The series is voiced by the company’s branding partner Chris “Ludacris” Bridges.
The campaign idea focuses on how all different types of people use music and a powerful, immersive listening experience to motivate them and help them focus on achieving greatness. It can be as simple as getting motivated to work out or do homework, or as dynamic as training for professional sports and preparing to go onstage and give a concert - it's an experience that speaks to everyone.Other creatorsSee project -

Marketers should protect sonic branding “fiercely” because “the jingle’s coming back”. Original Audio’s Aaron Matthews and Studiotonic’s Laura-Leigh Smith tell Brittney Rigby on episode two of Heard Mentality, “Distinctiveness in the brand sound comes from repetition, not from reinvention.” Plus: Why Chemist Warehouse’s jingle is still going strong, 10 years in.
