A few months ago we introduced the 2010 Philly 360° Creative Ambassadors. Today, get to know Entertainment Executive Marc Byers.

Watch as Marc Byers takes us on a tour of his beloved hometown; the place that birthed The Sound of Philadelphia and the musical careers of Patti LaBelle, Eve, Jill Scott and countless others.

Join Marc as he reminisces about the good ole days of garage band soul, his favorite places to shop and eat and what makes Philly the toughest place you’ll love to live, work and play.

Why should February get all the credit as THE month to commemorate Black History? Philly 360°® celebrates the extraordinary talent, determination and success of our Creative Ambassadors every day of the year.

We want the whole world to know that amazing people here in our beloved city are making Black History now.

In partnership with CBS3/The CW, we produced a series of 30-second spots featuring Chloe Davis (PHILADANCO), Nikki Jean (singer, songwriter and musician), Jeri Lynne Johnson (Founding Music Director of the Black Pearl Chamber Orchestra) and Ursula Rucker (poet and recording artist).

A new generation of trendsetters in the making. Enjoy!
