COLUMBUS, OH – Who’s Who Publishing Company today announced that veteran public
relations and marketing executive Ken Carter will assume the role of associate publisher
for the second edition of Who’s Who In Black Dallas which is scheduled for release in
September. The publication highlights the achievements of African Americans across a variety of industries and documents and celebrates today’s history makers.
Carter, president and chief executive officer of Focus Communications, a 34 year-old, minority-owned public relations, public affairs, marketing and crisis communications firm, worked closely with the Columbus, Ohio-based Who’s Who Publishing Company on its inaugural edition of Who’s Who in Black Dallas in 2012. As the second edition’s associate publisher, he will be responsible for all aspects of operations in Dallas including advertising and sponsorship sales, promotion, and editorial content.
“Ken brings a wealth of skills and marketplace knowledge that we are very excited about,” said Carter D. Womack, chief operating officer, Who’s Who Publishing. “More so, he knows the city exceedingly well and he and his team know our product. This is a natural fit.”
“There are so many African Americans who have made, and are making, tremendous contributions to the growth and fabric of
Dallas, said Carter. “I look forward to bringing their accomplishments to the forefront and celebrating their achievements.”
The upcoming edition of Who’s Who In Black Dallas will feature special sections highlighting the city’s most influential
professionals, its living legends, governmental leaders, lawyers, doctors, media professionals, business professionals and more.
The publication will also highlight the city’s emerging leaders (ages 25-40) and its future leaders (college and pre-college
students).
An official launch reception where Carter will announce the foreword and introduction writer for the second edition is in the
works.
