Some of you may remember when Bring Back the Buzz and We Beelieve: Charlotte…take back your Hornets! first began getting media attention about 2 years ago, most of the media thought we were “crazy”. Many reporters and writers were very dismissive of the chances of our entire movement.

One notable exception was a reporter by the name of Sarah Batista from WBTV News. She was the first person to really interview us and take our efforts seriously, thus providing our movement with its first real exposure. I remember telling her when she interviewed us, that I wasn’t going to forget that she was the first to listen, and she said “I’ve got a good feeling about you guys and this story”. Since that day, she has interviewed us on multiple occasions and was even nice enough to visit the students at my school for career day. As some of you may be aware, she has decided to leave WBTV to pursue her dream job of starting her own company which is aimed at creating videos for non-profit organizations. Her company is called Stories to Inspire. We wanted to let you know that “Stories to Inspire” along with “Yellow Arrow Film” will be partnering to create a documentary on the “We Beelieve” and “Bring Back the Buzz” movement.

Here is the link to the official website for “Stories to Inspire” http://storiestoinspirefilms.com/

The “Charlotte Hornets” brand is WAY bigger than Charlotte

To give you an idea of just how much of an international brand the “Charlotte Hornets” are, I decided to post this map of the visits to ourwww.bringbackthebuzz.com website over the past year. Since July of last year we have had over 35,000 views from almost 100 different countries, as well as multiple visits from every single one of the states in the US. 

The other amazing thing about the “Charlotte Hornets” brand is that while the team is located in Charlotte, it is popular throughout the Carolinas. Between North Carolina and South Carolina we have had visits from people in over 313 different cities and towns. 

So dont ever let someone tell you that people outside of Charlotte don’t care about the Hornets!!
