Len Burnett, Co-Founder, Group Publisher of UPTOWN Magazine and Co-CEO of Uptown Media Group stated, "As the previously untapped Affluent African American market continues to grow exponentially, it is important to introduce the luxury advertising community to the UPTOWN brand with the goal of creating touch-points previously non-existent."

"We are excited about the opportunity to get the message out regarding our unique product, brand and services. Squeakywheel Promotions has the expertise and insight to effectively communicate our strategy and objectives and ultimately raise the profile of Uptown Media" said Brett Wright, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Uptown Media Group.
