Our Work
BellSouth/AT&T 
TheRackesGroup has managed diversity initiatives for the New AT&T (formerly BellSouth) since 1997 which it was engaged to convert the South Carolina African America Honoree Calendar to an electronic web system. Since 1997, TheRackesGroup has worked with AT&T management to enhance and promote diversity initiatives through monthly delivery of honorees to thousands of workplaces and schools across the state and nation.
Each month thousands of teachers, parents and public recipients across the world receive messages about the newest honoree. Educators follow lesson plans organized by the State Department of Education as they integrate all aspects of South Carolina history into their curriculum.

Emile DeFelice for Commissioner of Agriculture
A young farmer best known for his work in organizing all local farmers' markets, Emile DeFelice decided to put his background and ideas into action by running for Commissioner of Agriculture. Emile's commitment to South Carolina was demonstrated through a variety of innovative programs summarized by his mantra, Put Your State on Your Plate.
DeFelice studied statistics about products available to South Carolinians and learned that most traveled more than 1,500 miles and cost more in warehousing and transportation than they did in the growth and harvesting. The final products offer less nutrition to the end consumer, including more than 700,000 school children daily, than locally-grown products. DeFelice marketed the concept of changing just a small percentage of the product from import to local, suggesting an additional benefit to the health of the State's population of an economic impact of several billion dollars.
TheRackesGroup (TRG) assisted DeFelice's efforts through a unique web design and content system, online contribution processing, photo and video galleries and opt-in electronic messaging to thousands of prospective voters weekly. While the campaign was unsuccessful, DeFelice introduced concepts of nutrition and economics to thousands of South Carolinians that will continue to change the State in positive ways.

Columbia City Ballet/Dancing the Art 
When arts advocates in South Carolina decided to put the art of SC native Jonathan Green to sound and dance, they asked TRG to assist them in building a web presence. The goals of the organization included education of a broad public base about Gullah and the traditions of the population who spoke it, and to promote the production of the unique blend of three art forms.
The production, Off the Wall and Onto the Stage, Dancing the Art of Jonathan Green, premiered in South Carolina in 2005. After touring the State of South Carolina, the company appeared throughout the State of Florida, later presenting at the Brooklyn Academy of Dance and across the US.
Fueled by interest in the Dancing the Art web presence, the Columbia City Ballet asked TRG to create a new online presence that would allow their staff to maintain up-to-date performance schedules, auditions, announcements as well as taking memberships, ticket and donations online. The site is fully-managed by internal staff through the content management system established for them by TRG.
