BLI Group host a launch party

The BLI Group LLC is a full service multimedia services firm specializing in branding. BLI does it all … from apparel to PR services. They are touted as an up and coming force to be reckoned with now that owners Eric T. Bettis and Ivy N. McQuain have combined either experience in graphic designs, print and PR to form BLI.

Earlier this month McQuain and Bettis hosted a launch party at the Absinthe Lounge at the Southside on Lamar. The event hosted more than 50 clients, potential guests, family and friends. Special guest performances included comedian Josh Drake and the LOL Girls, a fictitious girl group created by MC and host of In The Flow Jazzmyne Greer. DJ Swerve was on the wheels of steels bringing great music for the night. Guests received goody bags filled with promotional items and a custom t-shirt from The BLI Group LLC’s apparel division called SquareMoto.
