Bunnie Ransom

Bunnie Jackson-Ransom is the President and CEO of firstClass, inc. - a full-service public relations and marketing firm. While serving as President and owner of firstClass, inc. Ms. Jackson-Ransom responded to a request to manage the careers of several performing artists; and from 1978 through 1988, she was the Chief Administrative Officer of a conglomerate company under the umbrella of Atlanta Artists. She began her career in the music industry after she had already distinguished herself as a businesswoman in the areas of education, government and public relations. As President of Atlanta Artists Management, she was also responsible for the daily activities of Atlanta Artist Productions and Atlanta Artists Records, and managed the recording career of acts such as Cameo, Larry Blackmon and SOS Band. Ms. Jackson-Ransom managed record sales, toured the world with performances and promotions, negotiated production deals for her artists and carried these recording artists to gold and platinum record status. This success, however, did not satisfy her thirst for serving her fellowman; therefore, she made time to teach a course in “Artist Representation” at Georgia State University in order to give local Atlanta artists the benefit of her knowledge and experience in the music industry. Artists have had their contracts reviewed and demo tapes critiqued by Bunnie Jackson-Ransom when there was no other place to go.
