FIRST-TIME WBEA 2014 BUSINESS ATTENDS EXPO Tiffany Williams attended WBEA EXPO for the first time. Accidentally arriving two hours early, Williams decided to get a head start and draw a mental map of the exhibit hall. She met Robert Watts, founder of Watts Exhibits, an Atlanta-based company setting up trade show exhibit booths and displays. Watts asked about her company’s services; videography, photography, graphic design, and media consulting, and hired her on the spot. Twice Media was to take photos for his client, Toyota, during the National Urban League Conference in Cincinnati. Watts was so impressed, he hired Twice Media for two more jobs.
